Earth Ciphers is a double entendre and an earthly exploration. Ciphers, as in a secret code, as in the earth is full of codes waiting to be unlocked, looked at and implemented for living a more joy-filled, juicy and loving life, and also ciphers as in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) for a rap battle as in conversations… Earth Ciphers is where science, spirituality and culture come together to make sense of this wonderful thing we call life on planet earth and ultimately to up-level ourselves to being a species that contributes more to global joy, love and life.
Host and transformational coach Kate Berezo shares her personal journey through the Triangle of Transformation, revealing the power of authenticity, self-regulation, and creativity in achieving inner peace and deeper connections.

DEVOTION for self-sustainability
In this episode, Earth Mother Sylvia speaks on devotion for finding authentic self-sustainability. Sometimes people think self-sustainability is about individualism, but it's actually about making yourself a more sovereign person, and better able to connect authentically and sustainably with other people.
DEVOTION is for everyone. You don’t have to agree on how to name “God” in order to be committed to something bigger than yourself. In fact, identifying your values and devoting yourself to them is a great place to start - no religion necessary.
Shout out Adera Gandy @shewhogiveslife (https://www.instagram.com/shewhogiveslife/) for the definition of devotion used in this episode, and to the Queen Debrena Jackson-Gandy @thedebrena (https://www.instagram.com/thedebrena/) for her teachings on prayer and meditation for devotion.
This episode is dedicated to the invaluable, irreplaceable, and INFINITE DR. MAXINE MIMMS, founder of the Evergreen College Tacoma, prayer warrior, mentor, big-hat-wearer, and all around community icon. May she rest in everlasting power. ✊🏽🫶🏽

(R)EVOLUTION IS FOR EVERYONE
(R)evolution is the fourth, and final pillar of the Has Everything Universe. Your host and Earth Mother, Sylvia, posits that we are absolutely capable of disrupting and divesting from the current systems of burn out at the individual, relationship, community and societal levels, while investing in systems of sustainability, creativity, and life. She argues that this revolutionary process requires our sociocultural evolution as a species - something we have evidence of human participation with since the beginning of our species on Planet Earth.
In this episode, Sylvia mentions Dr. Bruce Perry (https://www.bdperry.com/), a neuroscientist responsible for developing the Three R's Model: Regulate, Relate, Reason. She erroneously credits him for Dr. Dan Siegel (https://drdansiegel.com/)'s "Brain in the Palm (https://youtu.be/gm9CIJ74Oxw)" method of understanding what's happening in our brains when we get stressed or overwhelmed. This turns out to be a very happy mistake because now you, listener, get to be introduced to both incredible scientists. You're welcome. :)
Dr. Bruce Perry is also the co-author alongside Oprah Winfrey of What Happened To You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healing, in which Dr. Perry discusses sociocultural evolution.

Hip-Hop is Tradition + Futurism
In this episode, host and Earth Mother, Sylvia, discusses both the traditional and futuristic nature of the art of hip-hop. This episode explores the second foundational pillar of the Has Everything Universe: Afrofuturism. A term coined by Mark Dery (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ggMn1QNx6loh02c9HDaWb0hYyb5jS2vb/view?usp=sharing) in the 1990's, afrofuturism is the exploration of possible futures through the lens of the American African diasporic peoples.
Ytasha L. Womack (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ytasha_L._Womack&action=edit&redlink=1), writer of Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture, defines it as "an intersection of imagination, technology, the future and liberation". She also follows up with a quote by the curator Ingrid LaFleur (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ingrid_LaFleur&action=edit&redlink=1) who defines it as "a way of imagining possible futures through a black cultural lens".

Introducing Earth Ciphers
Welcome to Earth Ciphers, the podcast where your host and Earth Mother, Sylvia, explores the way science and spirituality come together on this beautiful planet we call home. Earth Ciphers exists at the intersection of sensation and culture - it is deeply devoted to the Planet Earth, and is also a cipher. A cipher, as in an exploration of the nitty gritty codes and wonderful mysteries of this planet, and a cipher as in a rap battle - the place where people come together to talk and learn.
