We begin a mini-series on our society's mental and spiritual health, using the lens of trauma and trauma response, from Shayna's experience as a leader of critical incident debriefings with first responders.

Shayna returns and shares the wisdom of her encounter with the awesome wildness at the heart of creation. 

Shayna is on her way back from Antarctica. Top Show Replay from 2021: beloved community and hope, as an act of rebellion against loneliness and disconnected, selfish individualism.

Shayna is in Antarctica. We invite you to reflect on the apotheosis of the individual: today's golden calf in America. And why this is a false god that cannot satisfy.

WIGN talks with Jeff MacDonald about churches in pandemic time, and the needed disruption to our usual ways of framing conversations about our shared common life.
