Our physical health is intimately tied to environmental health, as well as to our emotional and spiritual ecology. Visionary physician Dr. Gabor Maté explores the deepest psychological, emotional and social forces leading to our society’s poor health and unhappiness. He says we have the capacity to heal both ourselves and the planet by reconnecting with our true nature as empathic, nurturing, social beings.

The Zapatista movement emerging from Chiapas, Mexico over the past three decades has impacted people all over the world who struggle to liberate themselves from colonial capitalism and Cis-Heteropatiarchy. 
*
Between 2012 and 2019, several delegations of CIIS students, staff, and faculty traveled to Chiapas. There they attended various educational encounters that compose part of what CIIS faculty Charlotte María Sáenz calls “Zapatista Seed Pedagogics,” a way to describe the mutual education between Zapatistas and those outside their autonomous territory.
*  
In this episode Charlotte is joined by fellow CIIS faculty member Zara Zimbardo for a conversation exploring the ways the Zapatista movement bridges different worldviews, politics, and geographies to collectively revision and remake “a world in which many worlds fit,” an oft-repeated Zapatista slogan.

Charlotte Saenz and Zara Zimbardo: On Community Building and the Zapatista Movement

Becoming Fully Human: The Covenant of the Original Instructions | Winona LaDuke, John Trudell...

How does a virtue become a vice? How does a basic building block of life turn into a threat to life? And how do you turn that vice back into a virtue? In this half-hour we visit with two unlikely pathfinders who are helping to revolutionize farming. Calla Rose Ostrander and John Wick of the Marin Carbon Project are taking carbon out of the atmosphere and putting it back where it belongs: in the soil. In so doing, they’re also revitalizing the soil, conserving water, and building agricultural resilience. Scaling up these revolutionary regenerative methods can offset the climate destabilization, which that threatens to confound agriculture and endanger our food supply.

Vice To Virtue: From Carbon Crisis to Carbon Farming

I'm excited about this one as it has been a long time coming. After a long summer of festivals https://soundcloud.com/emilydust has managed to fit us in for a wicked guest mix and interview. I was a little intimidated as she is such a  smooth and professional host herself. And luck has it that I had broken my controller a few days before so had to adapt to those darn CDJ's! In the end I think it turned out alright! Also joining us is a young up and coming DJ called https://soundcloud.com/nick-gordon who blesses us with a sick mini-mix.
A very special addition to this episode is an interview by our special envoy, https://soundcloud.com/djchichibanana, now in Columbia, in a musical journey. When in Palenque, he spoke to MC PM from https://soundcloud.com/kombilesami20 and recorded the conversation for our listening pleasure...  I enjoyed this episode so much that I lost track of time, hence why this one is a little over 2hrs lol. Sorry Ness Radio :-(
