A podcast for facilitators, with host Nadia Chaney. Nadia has been a community arts facilitator since 2001, and has been training facilitators internationally since 2009.

Join Nadia and Juanita Giraldo Bueno, founder of the Embodied Relational Ethics, for a deep conversation about power, consent, and accountability.
Juanita traces her journey from a nine-year-old attending retreats in Colombia to a young woman navigating spiritual communities where the gap between what was preached and what was practiced was shocking and painful to experience. She shares how those experiences became the forge from which her project emerged, and also inspired the tools she uses and teaches that are helpful for everyone.
This is an essential listen for anyone who holds space for others: yoga teachers, ceremony leaders, coaches, workshop facilitators, or anyone who leads a group or group process.

038 Sean Harvey
Join Nadia Chaney and Sean Harvey in a deeply hopeful conversation about courage and compassion, and a deep dive into healing the masculine. Sean makes a compelling case that healing men is the most direct path to transforming systems.
Sean Harvey has spent his career going where most facilitators won't: into police departments, military units, prisons, and far-right extremist circles, and doing it with love. Sean shares his remarkable journey from homeless and couch-surfing in post-9/11 New York, to doing soul-healing work with the hardest-to-reach men in America, with a rich breadth of experience in between.
They explore how to meet hate, and also question if there is a place for it. You'll hear why belonging and unhealed wounds drive radicalization, and how our inner work becomes the foundation for working in groups. Sean introduces his frameworks: the stomach, will, skill, and cred; the bridging mindset; and using courage, curiosity and compassion in all his work.

I am so excited to share this podcast with the esteemed and inimitable Rhys~! We are new friends, though I think we have been circling each other for some time. As an artist and a creative facilitator Rhys is formidable: deep, intellectual, creative, subtle and magical. They work primarily in food systems sovereignty but also beyond and have started a wonderful integrated arts space in their home town. I find all their efforts quite inspiring and I imagine you will, too.
