It's always easier to scapegoat and be in either/or....to do the blame-game either with ourselves in a victimizing shame spiral or with others in the worst kind of dehumanizing villainization.  In this episode, Brie discusses the desire to move into a more loving stance of both/and, using her song "Run" as a starting point to a conversation with author Felicia Murrrell.

Felicia is a spiritual companion, speaker, certified master life coach with a deep understanding of what it means to be human, and is dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace who they already are and who Love is inviting them to be.  Her latest book "And: The Restorative Power of Love in an Either/Or World," is out now.

In this season finale, Brie invites on biologist, philosopher and author,  Dr.Andreas Weber, to discuss his premise of an erotic ecology in his book "Matter and Desire."  Together they explore how enlivenment is a shared reciprocity of becoming as a shift from any domination paradigm inherited from empire-christianity, and how we might compost platonic ideas of incompleteness for the sake of a plenitude-driven-creativity as a catalyst for, and outcome of, that enlivenment.

Andreas Weber teaches at the University of the Arts, Berlin, and he lives in Berlin and Italy.  His latest books include "Enlivenment: Toward a Poetics for the Anthropocene" and the book most discussed in this conversation, "Matter and Desire: An Erotic Ecology."

In this second to last episode of Season 3, Brie invites process theologian and author Catherine Keller to help explain how process might invite a more compatible paradigm to the efforts of composting Christianity, and a to a more relational and ecological worldview.

Catherine Keller is Professor of Constructive Theology at the Theological School of Drew University. In her teaching, lecturing and writing, she develops the relational potential of a theology of becoming. Her books reconfigure ancient symbols of divinity for the sake of a planetary conviviality—a life together, across vast webs of difference. Thriving in the interplay of ecological and gender politics, of process cosmology, poststructuralist philosophy and religious pluralism, her work is both deconstructive and constructive in strategy.
