• Episode 30: Women, Please Circle
    Dec 10 2024

    What we really know for sure is that women's circles are transformative, for the individuals linked in the ritual, for the total group and for the broader collective.

    Virginia, Tamara and Susan have endeavored to show and tell about the profound power and enjoyment that their tiny, trio circle has to it.

    Did you get the message?

    We hope you will gather and BE: sharing, listening, accepting and shining love on one another. It is the way we, as women in a culture gone mad, can create change.

    The real revolution will be love. Join up!

  • Women the World Over, An Interview with Kathleen McGowan Jones
    Aug 13 2024

    What a beautiful and expansive conversation. Susan and Kathleen explore so much rich territory...humane and conscious work in the corporate realm, step-parenting and family dynamics, and a few unexpected ways into spirit and selfhood.
    Kathleen shares how her childhood with an alcoholic mother still informs her identity and choices, creating a functional empathy, as she approaches her 50th birthday.
    Filled with tender moments of revelation and some laughter too. I think you're really going to love this one!

    Under the Flower Full Moon at the end of May, we discuss making innovative changes to ignite peace, kindness and togetherness in our personal lives and in the collective.

    We challenge each other and our listeners and at the same time murmer thank you thank you thank you thank you for the sacred spaces and communities we have already established.

    The devastation at Rafah hadn't happened yet when we recorded. But we've been suffering these catastrophes long enough to know that each of us are needed to forge a new way to an enduring Peace.

    If you were Queen of the World...
    Repeat after me...

    Please listen and respond.

    Ongoing inspiration (whether you're into astrology or not) from Lorna Bevan of Hare in the Moon.

  • Women the World Over, An Interview with Kristin Bispels
    May 7 2024

    Join Susan this month as she interviews a dear friend, Kristin Bispels, in an episode of Women the World Over. There is a LOT of sweet, infectious laughter in this episode that is likely to inspire everyone to be grateful for their authentic relationships and joyful exchanges.

    Kristin Bispels is the founder and executive director of Inclusive Clay, an organization that provides access and art education to adults with intellectual differences in southeastern Pennsylvania. Inclusive Clay began as a response to a need that arose as her daughter exited the school system and became an adult with a disability in her community. There were few good opportunities for her to participate in her community in a meaningful way. So, they started inviting her friends to make pottery in her basement studio as a means to connect, but it grew into much more than that over time.

    Kristin's tag line for this amazing project is a keeper...
    "We are shaping communities, one pot at a time."

    And so we talk excitedly about that...how to shape reciprocal friendship, mother/daughter harmony, community engagement, inclusion, creative expression and delight in spirit in our daily lives.

    To learn more about Inclusive Clay, go to inclusiveclay.org and follow on Facebook and Instagram @inclusiveclay . We are shaping communities, one pot at a time.

    Inclusive Clay...Enter Here!

  • Episode 26: Sex
    Feb 27 2024

    At launch, we promised our podcast listeners that we'd "talk about it all" and then took 25 episodes to tiptoe into a conversation about SEX.

    This month, Virginia and Tamara venture into this vast topic with their musings about sexuality and culture, womanhood and coming of age, the rites we are missing and hopes for new generations.

    We know this is only a drop in the ocean of intimacy, primal desire and sacred sexuality. Let us know which waves you'd like to hear us ride next!
