   Beyond the Clock with Jessica Chacon and Adrian Molina

   In this episode of Beyond the Clock, Ash and Anna are joined by Adrian Molina, aka Molina Speaks, an artist, poet, and creative organizer with Warm Cookies of the Revolution, and Jessica Chacon, a psychotherapist, movement educator, and healing arts practitioner based in Colorado's San Luis Valley. Through their work with Future Town, an initiative of Warm Cookies, a civic health club, Molina and Jessica are helping rural communities imagine and create their own futures through art, culture, ritual, and collective creativity. In this conversation, we explore how communities can draw upon their cultural traditions, ancestral memories, and everyday practices of gathering to imagine futures that honor where they've been and where they hope to go. Molina and Jessica share stories from their Future Town collaborations across Southern Colorado, where everything from bilingual circuses and football tailgates to community ceremonies and skate parks can become opportunities for connection, healing, and civic participation. We consider how memory lives in our bodies and communities, how ritual can help us hold grief and possibility, and what happens when we create space for people to dream beyond the limitations they've inherited. Molina and Jessica invite us to consider what it means to become good ancestors, embrace radical imagination, and recognize that the future of rural communities is already taking shape through the relationships, creativity, and care we practice today.

   Beyond The Clock with Allie Redhorse Young

   In this episode of Beyond the Clock, Ash and Anna are joined by Allie Redhorse Young, a Diné activist, storyteller, and founder of Protect the Sacred, a movement dedicated to empowering Native youth, strengthening civic engagement, and protecting Indigenous culture, rights, and sovereignty. Over the last six years, Protect the Sacred has grown into a movement that places culture, ancestral knowledge, and intergenerational relationships at the heart of community action. In this conversation, we explore what becomes possible when civic engagement asks people to return more deeply to who they are rather than translate themselves into systems that were never designed for them. Allie shares how Protect the Sacred has drawn upon storytelling, ceremony, horse medicine, and initiatives like Ride to the Polls to reconnect Native young people with their culture and the wisdom of their elders while creating new pathways for participation and leadership. We also wrestle with deeper questions, like who do we fail to recognize as leaders, and what futures become possible when we learn to see the gifts, wisdom, and ways of knowing that our dominant systems have overlooked or misunderstood? Allie asks us to consider how ancestral ways of knowing might help us remember what leadership can be and imagine what it could become.
