The NO comes down and we sort squish around it, seeking a way forward, a way toward, a way to keep breathing.

Paleolithic Mind - Medieval Institutions - 21st C Tech Maternal/Aligned/Matriarchal AI & Culture Paleolithic Matriarchies :\: Medieval Patriarchies :/: Hyper-Lithic Human Era  The Medieval (Bronze Age) institutions (and minds shaped by them) are the problem - the culture that made them, those values, came with the advent of patriarchy and they are the bit that does not align, really, for general human well-being. It’s not just that they are analogue and assume small communities with shared worldviews. The Synthesis we need to move into is the Hyper-Lithic. It would reimagine the structures on more Paleolithic terms (consonant with human well-being) and co-created with our shiny new tech and AIs.

In 2018, asked to help a friend in a no-nuclear political campaign for the Italian Senate, I came upon Extinction Rebellion. Realizing how urgently the climate emergency had reached, after months of grief and despair, whirled into active hope.  In brief, I took a sabbatical from my past life becoming a full time climate activist in XR. To me this Climate Emergency needs mostly a global shift in consciousness. I enrolled and finished a Master degree at Schumacher College, U.K., in Ecological Design Thinking and started facilitating Community Building in local Communities,The Work that Reconnects, Transition Town models and Gaia Education programs as a certified trainer. My thesis was on the cultures of the Goddess, Patriarchal societies and Feminine Wisdom. I have also certified with Hagia Academie with  Dr. Heide Goettner-Abendroth to become  “Lecturer on Modern Matriarchal Studies”.  The energy of the Feminine is calling me. Community building, Matriarchal Sacred Mysteries, Sacred in Cultures, Poetics of Imagination, Performance Arts in Delicate Activism. All I am investigating as an artist I use to facilitate and create a shift in consciousness. In 2023 I created SHE-EDE Ecovillage Design Education to empower women in a journey of healing, matriarchal modern studies decolonizing  our deep patriarchal biases.  Links to previous episode  Audio https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-9d6ja-193f842 Ep 9 Sabina Santovetti & Maria Esperanza Carrasco on SHE-EDE in Colombia 2025   Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4PQqieEPdU Matriarchal Movement Connections https://www.dancing-goddess.org/ Dancing Goddess/SHE-EDE is Sabina Santovetti’s project, a part of Matriarchy Now!

Sunny Apocalypse is a civic educator, artist, and cultural commentator shaped by lived experience. Sunny has worked as a local civic leader, served on a Democratic 2024 campaign, and had a pretty decent career inside corporate systems for 25 years where power is concentrated and employees are gaslit. Those worlds taught her how institutions really function—and how easily people are trained to accept what feels wrong. Today, Sunny blends grassroots organizing, campaign experience, art, and adult education to make American politics understandable and human-scale. Her work uses plain language, retro social studies visuals, and practical actions to help people stay engaged. Sunny believes democracy survives through clarity, community, and care for one another.

Pragna Patel is an icon of the UK feminist movement, working in immigrant rights and violence and against women and girls. She’s the founder of Project Resist and a founding member of the Southall Black Sisters. Esmée interviewed Pragna for the keepsake magazine profiling conference speakers for this 10th anniversary gathering at FiLiA. This episode is the whole, we think important, conversation shared here because the magazine edit had to be around 1200 words. We talked about threats to immigrants and migrant people, the strengthening global far right movement, a fractured left that needs to focus on issues and values rather than identity, the joy and energy of FiLiA2025. Pragna reflects on the conference as a chance for feminists to sharpen each other's skills and beliefs, to seek alignments in our differences including generational ones. Feminists really can do a better job of  welcoming the next generation of feminists. She shares a little of how she learned to be the effective activists that she has been, about how none of us knew exactly or much of ‘how to do this’ when we started. Learning on the job is feminist tradition. We talked about feminists taking positions on the far right, on matters of war and genocide, how to have a feminist position on travesties like the destruction and genocide of Gaza because these positions help us build solidarity across differences. Pragna hopes feminists will find a deeper principled solidarity.    #MVAWG #Imigration #Immigrants #GlobalWomen #FarRight   FiLiA2025 happens in Brighton, UK in October. Tickets and Speakers here: https://www.filia.org.uk/tickets  This 10th anniversary conference is focused on Femicide, Male Violence Against Women, and women’s survival and thriving in the teeth of male supremacy. The line up of speakers and workshops includes renowned feminist elders like Max Dashu and Genevieve Vaughn, and younger activists and artists like Blessing Okoedion and Angela Wild. --- Like all our podcasts, this one is free to all.  We are a reader/listener supported project, women led, women run, for women.  Support without subscribing if you like :) Subscribe for more movement building and feminist awesomeness at medusarising.org.

Hey-so, here’s our first real episode!! I have stitched it together in the ways one does, and two things have become clear to me: 1) I need more practice at editing podcasts, and 2) I talk too much. Not in the ‘I’m a woman and I feel I talk too much’ way (please, have we met?), but in the ‘I have learning to do about Hosting As A Craft' way. Still, this was fun and A’Ja and I brought a lot of expertise and humor to this conversation. Like it?

Founder/Editor of ⁠Medusa Rising | World Building Women⁠, Esmée Streachailt, introduces the podcast's mission to deepen feminist movement. Medusa Rising aims to expand the radical materialist feminism established by The Radical Notion magazine into accessible digital formats. The podcast will cover feminist topics and promote intersectional collaboration and sisterhood. Team members will host episodes in their expertise or curiosities. Moving out of the patriarchal/dominance epoch into a matristic/partnership epoch will require improvisation and learning in public! Listeners will hear from diverse feminist voices on various subjects including embodied thriving, soul craft, politics, culture, and social movements in a RadMatFem perspective. The team embraces a slow, deliberate approach creating meaning more than content, and warmly invites contributions from the community.   Newsletter, website, ways to contribute your brilliance : ⁠medusarising.org⁠.

Together they share an intimate conversation about the magic of the ‘old' stories; – the ancient myths that can help re-enchant our lives and reawaken our power and authenticity.
