Siegel’s most recent work integrates the theories of Interpersonal Neurobiology with the theories of Mindfulness Practice and proposes that mindfulness practice is a highly developed process of both inter and intra personal attunement.

What if we are all that’s needed?
This episode of the Apocalyptic Supperclub serves up a suite of ideas that form the core of what inspires this show. You’ll meet guests that I have interviewed over the years whose work and ideas reflect the three core themes that spur on societal transformation: inner work, the rebuilding of kinship ties, and skillful strategic action. Featuring Mindfulness teacher Lee Klinger Lesser, Poet Kai Siedenburg, Queen Reverend Mutima Imani, Anthropologist Ida Susser, Julie Womack of Red, Wine and Blue, and Yasmin Radgy, Executive Director of Swing Left. The news can drain us with too much of a bad thing! We need more stories that nourish our political imagination and show us how we are important players in creating solutions. We know it takes about 3.5% of us to truly transform a system, but you can’t run a marathon on an empty tank. That’s why in every episode, we serve up a three-course meal for the long-distance change-maker: Inner Resources: To keep your spirit steady when the world is shaking. Community Resources: To remind you that you aren’t doing this alone. Action Resources: Clear, effective ways to move the needle. The river of change is strongly flowing. The old world is unveiling its shadow, but a new one is waiting to be spoken into existence. So fill your plate, resource your spirit, bring your friends along, and let’s go build that three point five percent. ________________________________________________ Music: Truth and Love by Pixabay.

What the Yellow Vests of France Can Teach U.S about Reclaiming Power
Are you tired of being a spectator to history? Ordinary people are often trapped on a political pendulum—swinging back and forth between partisan headlines while the fundamental power of big money stays exactly the same. On the Apocalyptic Supperclub, we look at what breaks the pendulum with legendary urban anthropologist Ida Susser who has spent 50 years embedded in global resistance movements—from 1970s Brooklyn to South African AIDS activism, and now the roundabouts of France where thousands of ordinary people joined together to shift the balance of power. Ida Susser’s latest book, The Yellow Vests and the Battle for Democracy, offers a visionary blueprint for systemic change that Americans can leverage to navigate the present political chaos and become protagonists in a new political story. Ida Susser is offering her book for free as a resistance field guide for shifting the balance of power back towards the people: The Yellow Vests and The Battle for Democracy ________________________________________________ Music: Star of Lisa; Taoudella; Cabernet from Blue Dot Sessions. __________________________________________________ Join Christine Barrington for The Apocalyptic Supperclub: Nourishment for Dire Times the second Friday of every month on KSQD, where she serves up stories to whet your appetite for the politically possible and show just how much you matter at this critical cultural moment.
