    02. tending the revolution


    I recorded this episode the day after the bombings in Rafah, a night that has stayed with me like so many of the nights we have witnessed over the last seven months.

    On this episode, I share my story of being a public health worker deployed to the COVID-19 pandemic response in 2020 and 2021 – like so many thousands of public health and health care workers.

    Tune in to hear about why I hate the word “burnout” and what I use instead. You'll hear about recovery, the return of a creative spark, and my dream for what comes next – including a little sneak peek of this summer's community of practice, THE PEOPLE’S HEALTH. Enrollment opens on June 20!

    May 16 2024

    What is a practice of intimacy?

    • how do we define practice, and intimacy? what are our intimate practices?
    • how is practice emergent? how is intimacy modulated by power?

  • 00. welcome to intimate practice
    May 15 2024

    Welcome to INTIMATE PRACTICE, a podcast about power, trauma, relational skills, and intersectional praxis. On this show, we'll explore the questions that are the foundation for equity and justice work:

    • How do we steward power well, when power has been wielded against us?
    • How do we mend what has been torn by conflict or trauma, and how do we repair what needs to be restored?
    • How do we imagine and create what could be, instead?

    Subscribe to join us in the exploration.
