Brainwashed: Fighting Against A Toxic Culture With Nina Menkes

She joins Debra Graugnard to shed light on how A-list directors have been using the film industry to perpetuate a toxic environment where women are harassed, assaulted, and discriminated against, directly attacking their selfhood.

Emotional Readiness for the Holidays
Holidays are upon us. Are you emotionally prepared?According to the results of a [2023] poll by the American Psychological Association:Nearly nine in 10 (89%) [US adults] say that concerns such as not having enough money, missing loved ones and anticipating family conflict cause them stress at this time of year.While stress appears to be common at this time of year, 43% said that the stress of the holidays interferes with their ability to enjoy them and 36% said the holidays feel like a competition. Even if you are the one in 10 who does not stress during the holidays, chances are you will spend time with others who do. Either way, there are tools to help you navigate whatever may come up at this time of year.

Lean into Your Inner Feminine to Commune with Source
Last week’s meditation focused on ascension and recognizing ourselves as light beings in bodies being light in the physical realm, rather than physical beings in a dense world trying to find the light. One key to this is leaning into your inner feminine, which is the receptor of light and connector with the subtle realms. Living from the feminine is key to living in communion with Source – and then the inner feminine and masculine can synchronize to bring the light into the world through your actions. (We’ll focus on the masculine side next week.) Listen to this healing meditation to tap into the channel of your inner feminine to commune with source energy, receiving divine light and whatever is waiting to infuse into your conscious body. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.

We. Must. Ascend.
This earth plane is a place of great beauty and light, and it also contains immense darkness. The human body is also a vessel of great beauty and light, and it can be dense and contain shadows and blind spots.  As the consciousness of our world rapidly evolves, we are faced with an overwhelming number of choices to make on a daily basis - not just about day-to-day activities, but about where our values and loyalties truly lie.  What do you believe in? Who are you? How do you want to align your consciousness to ascend to a state of unity?  Living in a state of unity means you identify more as a soul/light being with a body than a body that might have a soul or spiritual connection somewhere. It means living with a deep inner knowing of your core light connection with Source above all else.  Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a transformative experience.  We must ascend.You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT.
