    Children of Race with Tina Lopes
    Jul 5 2022
    Children receive race and racism sometimes before they receive their own connection to themselves as human beings. In this final episode of the series, we explore race through children's eyes and also how it robs children of their humanity, wonder, and their very childhoods. The episode begins with a historical reflection on Canada's residential schools (0:33), includes special guest Tina Lopes (3:36), and closes with a reflection from our co-host Joy Donnell on her own childhood introduction to racism (39:53) and her journey to use media like this series to empower us all away from that which separates us and toward a return to the collective divine that we all share (43:28).

    Reconciling Race with Cantor Judith Steel
    Sep 15 2021
    The application of false race theory on those of Jewish faith fueled Nazi hatred and the tragic loss of life during WWII. In this episode, we will explore how the idea of race and the application of racism was placed on people of the Jewish faith to create an extra layer of dehumanization and exploitation around their bodies (00:46). And we will discuss the transformational modalities that help one heal from such dehumanization (11:58) and how tragedy, trauma, and loss can lead us to our soul purpose (28:36).  Phoenix Singer joins our hosts Aliah MaJon, Joy Donnell, and Gillian Shelley in a special conversation with our guest Cantor Judith Steel, one of the youngest living Holocaust survivors today (02:27). She was a passenger on the M.S. St. Louis, also known as the Voyage of the Damned. Judith has devoted her life to her personal healing and the collective healing of all people after the Holocaust.
