Nora Samaran and Serena Lukas Bhandar, authors of "Turn This World Inside Out: The Emergence of Nurturance Culture," offer us a practice for nurturing our nervous systems and reconnecting with ourselves. This practice can be done alone or in a group, and will require a piece of paper and something to write with, as well as a safe space where you can comfortably quiet your senses and pay internal attention.
- What brings me here today?
- What did I dream about last night?
- What brings me joy?
- What are the words I do not have?
-----------
Listen to the corresponding conversation: In last week's conversation episode with Nora and Serena, we talked about how nurturance culture is the opposite of rape culture, its role in developing healthy relationships, different attachment styles, gender, and how to pursue accountability without shame or excluding people from community.

42 Practice: The Do-Over with Idelisse Malavé and Joanne Sandler
Tuesday Aug 06, 2019
Tuesday Aug 06, 2019
In this practice, Joanne and Idelisse offer a writing exercise called "The Do-Over" to help process experiences of bias and discrimination, and to seed creativity and reflection. It connects the personal and political, and can be done alone or in a group. You'll need a piece of paper and something to write with.
-----------
CONVERSATION: Download the episode prior to this one to hear Joanne & Idelisse talk about aging in the movement. They tell us about the secrets of bitchcraft, the importance of friendship and creativity, being unapologetically yourself, trusting yourself and others, tender transparency, the importance of having friends in every decade of life, play, and therapy (well maybe - that last one is contested). Subscribe/follow this podcast to make sure you never miss an entertaining & insightful conversation!
-----------
ABOUT OUR GUESTS:
Idelisse Malavé, 71, has been honing her bitchcraft for decades. A working class Puerto Rican immigrant raised in a middle-class, mostly Jewish, Brooklyn neighborhood, she graduated from Columbia Law School, defying expectations of who and what she could be to become a fierce social justice activist. After practicing public interest law in the 70s and 80s, she went on to lead progressive organizations – as Vice President of the Ms. Foundation and Executive Director of Tides Foundation – and wrote two books, Mother Daughter Revolution (Bantam) and Latino Stats (The New Press). Her motto these days is: “If it pleases me, I will.”
Joanne Sandler, 67, is on an endless journey to find her bitchy voice. She’s written articles and books like Gender at Work (Routledge), How Feminists Change Bureaucracies and Bureaucracies Change Feminists (Oxford Press), Women’s Rights Have No Country (OpenDemocracy). A lifelong feminist, Joanne was ‘institutionalized’ for nearly two decades (as Deputy Executive Director of the UN Development Fund for Women-UNIFEM -- and many other women’s rights organizations). She’s traveled to more than 65 countries and now consults with Gender at Work. Her lifelong motto still applies ”Always leave while you’re still having a good time!”
Together, Idelisse and Joanne host a podcast called Two Old Bitches. Learn more at http://www.twooldbitches.com

42 Aging in the Movement with Two Old Bitches Idelisse Malavé and Joanne Sandler
Tuesday Jul 30, 2019
Tuesday Jul 30, 2019
This week we’re talking Aging in the Movement with Idelisse Malavé and Joanne Sandler, extraordinary women leaders for global justice and co-hosts of the podcast Two Old Bitches. They tell us about the secrets of bitchcraft, the importance of friendship and creativity, being unapologetically yourself, trusting yourself and others, tender transparency, the importance of having friends in every decade of life, play, and therapy (well maybe - that last one is contested).
This interview is hosted by Shawna Wakefield, a friend & member of the Healing Justice Podcast Advisory Circle. Learn more about Shawna and the Advisory Circle here: https://www.healingjustice.org/team
By Idelisse & Joanne's definition, ‘BITCH” means “Being In Total Charge of Herself,” and their podcast Two Old Bitches celebrates kick-ass, unstoppable women over 50. They explode myths about gender and aging and re-define what it means to be a woman at any age. Learn more at http://www.twooldbitches.com

41 Practice: Rooting in Desire with Samia Abou-Samra & Ije Ude of Turtle Tank
Tuesday Jul 23, 2019
Tuesday Jul 23, 2019
What is your WHY? This is an amazing practice for creating a Purpose Statement that discerns and names your inner DESIRE, for the sake of clarifying your work and essence.
Samia Abou-Samra and Ije Ude of Turtle Tank lead us through an exercise that will require something to write on and write with, and can be done individually or in a group. You'll want a good period of time - around 40 mins - to really drop in. If the pacing between questions is fast for you, feel free to hit the pause button and take as long as you need between prompts. Your own pace is the right pace.
-------------
See the episode prior to listen to the conversation with Samia & Ije about SACRED WORK & RADICAL PURPOSE. They teach us how desire is core to finding the work that will point us toward personal and collective healing, how we must work in a free and loving way rather than "toward" love and freedom, and how to center ways of working that actually work for us rather than leaving us wondering why it's so exhausting to try to keep engaging.
Turtle Tank: School for Radical Purpose is a radical modern-day mystery school where we ignite Radical Purpose, support the evolution of consciousness and harness creative power to bring forth worlds of Radical Love and Freedom. Our aim is to reintegrate old and new wisdom into practical tools to revolutionize all of our diseased human systems and evolve into worlds of ever deeper balance.

Tuesday Jul 09, 2019
Tuesday Jul 09, 2019
In this practice episode Tricia Hersey, aka the "Nap Bishop" and founder of The Nap Ministry, sets us up with a soothing recording to prepare us for THE PERFECT NAP. We hope you enjoy the profoundness of her principles and the soothing music. Learn, fall asleep to the recording, or both.
On last week's conversation episode, Tricia schooled us in all things anti-capitalism and rest. She shared about her inspiration studying records of enslaved African ancestors in the US South, how laziness is a myth, what happens physiologically when we rest, and whether our movements can really afford to rest when they build prisons while we sleep. Listen on any podcast platform to episode 40: Rest as Reparations to hear more.
-----------

She is the founder of The Nap Ministry, an organization that examines rest as a form of resistance and installs safe spaces for the community to rest via napping experiences, workshops and performance art installations. Tricia’s research interests include black liberation theology, womanist theology, somatics, cultural trauma, and reparations. Her work as a teaching artist, archivist assistant, and trainer of arts integrated curriculum has been seen with Chicago Public Schools, Columbia College Chicago, Steppenwolf Theatre, United States Peace Corps and Google Chicago.

Host Kate Werning describes some of the 'why' behind our name transition that will happen this November (fuller exploration will be shared this fall), and the goals and intentions for our new name.
Help us vision the new name with your ideas, words, poetry, drawings, images, and more... share as much or as little as you like here: http://www.healingjustice.org/name
Looking forward to finding the new name together!
