Rooted in a Future for Good: Inauguration Episode with Neil Moseley

Neil Moseley, consultant, bird guide, and all around lovely human joins us for this Inauguration Day special. When we dig at the root of the word Inauguration we find an invitation to cast a future of our own imagining. If today feels particularly challenging to you, we want you to know that you are in good company.  This conversation invites us all to notice how we feel, admit the reality of the challenges we face, to spend time processing with our best dumb-dumbs, to check in on our neighbors, and to be attuned to our intuition. In this next Trump era we invite you to be rooted in community, allurement, and love. We get to cast the future, friends. Let’s collectively make it something beautiful for all people. Cool stuff we mention this episode (or meant to anyways):Pleasure Activism by: Adrienne Maree Brown The Three Evils of Society by MLK Jr. Exodus 1Spell for Grief or letting Go by: Adrienne Maree Brown Where to Find Neil Moseley: He cannot be found. As always, reach out to us if you are looking for community to process!Chapters00:00 A Spell for Grief: Embracing Loss and Healing05:02 The Meaning of Inauguration: Etymology and Future12:58 Exodus and Oppression: Lessons from History21:13 Local Organizing: Building Community in Difficult Times26:05 The Importance of Community Connections30:41 Finding Joy in Simple Organizing36:20 Nature and Spiritual Connection41:09 Intuition and Truth in Activism50:24 The Slow and Mysterious Work of Change
