Mary Fontana on Strangers in the Province of Joy
In this timely episode we visit with the author of Strangers in the Province of Joy: Practicing Radical Hospitality at the US-Mexico Border, Mary Fontana. While in college Mary began a 20+ year relationship with Annunciation House in El Paso which houses and provides care for migrants. This book is all about the important work of Annunciation House, its surprising and tender beginnings, and about the root causes that lead to people leaving their home countries. We talk about liberation theology, the United States complicity in the instability in Central America, and what we can all do to better love our neighbor as ourselves. <b><br /></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Show Notes:</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://orbisbooks.com/products/strangers-in-the-province-of-joy-practicing-radical-hospitality-on-the-us-mexico-border?srsltid=AfmBOoqmEfcoGnD6phBzfBTqec_t-5H4LrFSlBPwpbONEs-ug5OwKZ5Q" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Strangers in the Province of Joy: Practicing Radical Hospitality at the US-Mexico Border </a></li><li><a href="https://maryfontana.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mary Fontana’s Website </a></li><li><a href="https://annunciationhouse.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Annunciation House </a></li><li><a href="https://www.joycewycoff.com/2020/04/poetry-month-19-daily-prayer-with.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Prayer of Shelter and Shadow by Pádraig ó Tuama</a></li></ul><b>Key Topics:</b><br /><ul><li>The origins and history of Annunciation House</li><li>The concept of radical hospitality and its importance</li><li>Root causes of migration including US foreign policy and climate change</li><li>The role of personal relationships and presence in service work</li><li>The intersection of faith, justice, and activism in immigration</li><li>The ongoing legal challenges faced by organizations like Annunciation House</li><li>The importance of education and awareness in changing perceptions</li><li>The spiritual and contemplative practices that sustain service work</li></ul><b>Chapters</b><br />00:30 A Prayer for Shelter and Community<br />02:35 Introducing Mary Fontana and Her Work<br />05:15 The Role of Annunciation House<br />10:02 Understanding Borders: Geographic and Internal<br />13:08 Migration as an Earth Right<br />17:52 Root Causes of Migration<br />22:07 Climate Change and Migration<br />26:51 The Politics of Immigration and Othering<br />31:39 Emergency Response and Human Connection<br />34:17 The Founders' Wisdom and Open-Heartedness<br />38:55 The Role of Contemplation in Service<br />43:56 Balancing Presence and Productivity<br />48:49 Justice and Mercy in Hospitality<br />52:10 Spreading Awareness Through Storytelling<br />54:15 Radical Hospitality Defined<br />58:57 Facing Political Challenges with Resilience<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Paldrom Collins on Girl in a Box
We had a lovely conversation with the author of Girl in a Box, Paldrom Collins! Paldrom’s memoir walks us through her early days as a young woman who is seeking her own path in Oklahoma to her time in a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in New York. Paldrom’s path is winding, full of wisdom, compassion, and the most surprising twists and turns. We enjoyed this insightful and honest chat about following yearning and trusting self. <br /><b></b><br /><b>Show Notes:</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://allpoetry.com/Only-Breath" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Only Breath by Rumi</a></li><li><a href="http://paldrom.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">paldrom.com</a> </li><li><a href="https://paldrom.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Girl in a Box by: Paldrom Collins </a></li><li><a href="https://poets.org/poem/how-worst-day-my-life-became-best" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How the Worst Day of My Life Became the Best by: Andrea Gibson </a></li></ul><b>Takeaways</b><br /><ul><li>Following your inner knowing can lead to unexpected paths and growth</li><li>Ritual and repetition serve as somatic practices that deepen spiritual awareness</li><li>Non-dualism emphasizes interconnectedness beyond dualistic thinking</li><li>Reciprocity is rooted in the natural interconnectedness of all life</li><li>Embracing resistance and difficulty can hone spiritual resilience</li></ul><b>Chapters</b><br />00:30 Transforming Pain into Art<br />02:36 The Journey of Becoming Findable<br />03:34 The Call to Write: A Spiritual Journey<br />06:59 Exploring Spiritual Backgrounds<br />09:23 The Meandering Path of Spirituality<br />12:46 Rituals and Repetition in Spiritual Practice<br />18:04 Interfaith Dialogues: Buddhism and Christianity<br />22:02 The Quest for Acceptance and Worthiness<br />26:11 Understanding Tibetan Buddhism's Teachings<br />30:34 Navigating Dualism and Non-Dualism<br />32:40 Reciprocity in Spiritual Journeys<br />34:39 The Knowing Beyond Knowing<br />37:23 Embracing the Unknown<br />42:22 Yearning and Creativity<br />45:12 Responding to Suffering in the World<br />47:31 The Ongoing Story of Life<br />51:04 Finding Shelter in Each Other's Stories<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
