  • GRIT: When you Walk Through a Storm in a Chaotic World (Global Healing Response)
    2025/04/10
    As Global Healing Response turns its attention to a new aspect of this year's theme of authenticity, in this episode, we explore the topic of GRIT and its importance for staying true to ourselves in today's chaotic world. We consider understanding grit not just as determination, but a blend of passion, perseverance, and the courage to stay true to our core values despite the various challenges we may face. We explore how grit aligns with groundedness, guiding us to sustain our efforts, nurture our inner drive, and foster a stable sense of self and resilience. As always, we invite you to join us in holding intention, and suggest practices for cultivating grit, nurturing authenticity, and remaining steadfast amidst life's adversities. Intentions and prayers start at 17 minutes 11 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we enter a new quarter and focus for Global Healing Response, focusing on the theme of grit and its importance for remaining authentic, we suggest holding as our main intention: I will to endure and keep walking, not because my journey may always be simple, but because I know I am never alone.

  • Welcoming Silence with Andō (Part 2)
    2025/04/08
    Clive continues his conversation with spiritual teacher and director Andō, whose remarkable ministry focuses on the true nature and power of silence. In this episode, we explore the notion of nothingness, and also turn attention to understanding the role and value of spiritual direction. Andō draws on her deep experience of surrender, trust and dwelling in silence, following her many years of living in retreat and spiritual community, together with being out in the world, and through several major health crises. She talks about how she has been inspired by faith and practice in the Zen and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, along with Advaita Vedanta, Christian mysticism, non-denominational Christianity and contemporary nonduality, among others. As a spiritual director and contemplative mentor she serves those of all faiths and none. Andō offers a safe space for entering awareness of the movement of the divine in your life. You can subscribe to Silentium, a journal on themes of interior silence — of meditation, contemplation, silent prayer, stillness, and quiet moments, for all faiths. Shared from a tiny hermitage in Cornwall, England by writer, spiritual director, and retreat facilitator Andō. Find and subscribe to Silentium at http://silentium.substack.com/welcome.

  • Myanmar's Earthquake: Intentions and Prayers for Healing and Hope
    2025/04/03
    Join hosts Ellen Bintz and Clive Johnson as they attempt to build a picture of the aftermath of the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake that recently struck Myanmar, causing widespread destruction and despair. With over 2,700 confirmed dead and thousands more injured, this episode sheds light on the immense challenges facing rescue teams amidst ongoing civil conflict and infrastructural collapse. Reflecting on the broader impacts, we focus on the power of collective intention, meditation, and prayers in supporting those affected, looking at specific areas where our focus is needed both immediately and for the longer term.
