Cracks in the Cement

As an antidote to white supremacy, let's ride the waves of what the dark season has to offer us. What does it feel like in your body to imagine settling and surrendering into the dark, rich, liminal void of self-reflection with the intention of letting go of white supremacy? In the dark shadows of You, what aspects of your Self no longer serve you, and what parts of you that got squashed by domina...

This Cracks in the Cement episode explores the ways in which white colonizer settler culture insists we ignore context (relationships, multi-dimensionality, who we are, how are our day is going, the weather, the place we sit/stand, what happened on our walk over, how well we slept last night, our astrological tendencies, ... and on and on) and pretend we are individuals, and that aspects of Earth...

For episode 6 of Cracks, we'll talk about how colonizer/settler/white supremacy culture seeks to contain and control our minds, bodies, and souls. We'll get energized about our relationship to color and gender and how they intersect and offer endless opportunities to sprout our soul selves from the cracks in the cement. Woohoo~!!! Queerness in this context, for me, is my dwelling outside of the bi...

So fricking awesome!  Book referenced: "Sand Talk," by Tyson Yunkaporta You can share your thoughts here . Thank you!

Episode 3 offers some historic background on what makes colonizer (AKA white supremacy) culture a unique system of oppression. [Please note--> I talk a few times about how certain groups were/are left out of accessing resources-- in retrospect, I wish I had added it goes way beyond that-- it is a system of dehumanization, separation, and abuse.] Starting with the ancient Greeks and ending with...

In episode 1, listeners are invited to reflect on aspects of white culture within the U.S. (rugged individualism, the King's English rules, compete to prove our worth, stuck in the head and locked out of the body, etc.). Episode 2 adds some layers to that invitation:  --> instead of hot potato-ing these aspects into a good vs. bad category, let's get them out on the table so we can look at...

In this episode, we start the ball rolling on the conversation around aspects of colonizer culture that show up in each of our own personal values (join the conversation!), and I (Robin) share where I'm at on the journey of getting out of my head and into my heart (while encouraging multidimensional communication-- oh, yeah, I go there).  Episode materials: Aspects of white culture -- go here...
