Episode #16: Defying Systemic Gravity

Popular! The new 'Wicked' film is out in theatres and we are giving our full blown amazing analysis of the realities of the gravity we all face in our Western world. Join us as we explore themes of outcasts and resilience, reflecting on how Elphaba's journey mirrors real experiences of marginalized groups. The systems that tiny men have created are but illusions and at some point we have to rise above the weight and defy the systems that weigh us down. We'll spotlight two inspiring true stories of immigrants in Canada who have overcome tremendous adversity and created inclusive, liberating and healing work even when society wanted them to keep quiet and conform. Whether you identify with Elphaba or Glinda, the challenge is the same: how will you respond to the weight of systemic gravity? This will be a wicked episode of justice, self-reflection and collective liberation you won't want to miss.Let us know what you think of this episode!
