A new facet of RAW Edgecast has emerged: RAW music!
LISTEN, a song performed by Juliana Griese, originally by Meredith Buck.
Juliana shared this song with the note that she learned about it through a workshop with Lydia Violet Harutoonian, who was a guest at RAW only recently.
We are all connected, and the mycelium network amongst us is strong and growing.

"Do not doubt yourself a single second."

This interview of Ingrid Schmithüsen by Hannah Abouzaharah and Annika Korsten is special in many ways:
Ingrid was found to have ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, almost 2 years ago. Ingrid is dying from this disease, which is a neurodegenerative disorder that results in the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons that normally control voluntary muscle contraction.
Due to the loss of her speech, Ingrid is using a text to speech technology, hence her speech in the recording is an automated voice. The process of writing takes some time, and we have intentionally left some of...

Patricia Anzini and Alexandra Lopes are speaking with Julia Neumann about their project to create a regenerative culture in Academia through conscious relating, communication, and integral learning. Coming from quite different backgrounds, these Women are taking a stand for:  
- empowering students and step out of old hierarchies and modes of thinking and operating, 
- shifting from teaching to spaceholding,
- radically reinventing communication in the classroom,
- shifting from content-based to experience-based learning, 
- bringing Relating and conscious feeling into the academic world,
- shifting culture.

Lydia Violet Farshid-Harutoonian is the founder of The School for the Great Turning, and as such she pledged her life to The Work That Reconnects by Joanna Macy. Beyond that, she stands for Love, Grace, Honesty, and Music.
In this inter-view with Julia Neumann, Lydia Violet speaks about the stand that she is, about The Work That Reconnects, about her Love of being a Woman, her Yes to life and jumping in both feet, and her journey of gaining self-confidence, claiming her own, as well as her challenges in life with depression.
It is a lively conversation, from the larger...

Julia Neumann was interviewed by Millicent Haughey⁠ for this episode, as a special journey is taking form for her.
Julia speaks about her latest project of travelling, researching and documenting the indigeneity of Women: Indigenous Woman Documentary. It is a collective project emerging from Julia's Question of what it means to be indigenous as a Western Woman. Part of the journey is to radically trust that this initially personal journey is deeply relevant to many other women, and life on the planet.
The research is conducted by several Women and touches upon the pain of how the severing of Western...

RAW Voices brings you written words, read out loud by the author. This article is "Do not follow" by Millicent Haughey.

"Do not follow her when you see her walking ahead. Do not think that you are walking there too.
Do not follow. Like a dog lonely in the night.
Then again do not stop walking because you are scared. Lean into that. Lean towards. Lean forward into.
Do not give up.
Do not give in.
Don’t let go.
Do not let go of something that is not yet here.
Do not decide that your life is over.
Do not...

In the late 1970s, at the age of 17, Olive Jones joined a communal living experiment in Nelson, living in a kind of Anarchy with each other and off the land. Later, that Community purchased a piece of land in Motueka Valley that came to be known as Graham Downs.
There, they experimented radically with communal living: anybody could join whenever they wanted for as long as they wanted. They farmed the land with horses, milked cows, butchered their own meat, built their own houses, made their own clothing, all without any governance structure.

Annika Möller-Nilsson opens a vast space to explore being Women. Annika Korsten takes this doorway with passion, courage and fierce Love. What follows is part transmission, part recount and part research fresh from Annika Korsten's discoveries of choosing to radically rely on Women for her Healing and Evolution. What emerges when Women choose to radically rely on each other? Well, a totally new culture is possible.Topics covered include:New Map of sisterhood, speaking before knowing, letting healing happen. Going through the underworld to find something other than gossiping and resenting and competing with other women.Calling through the wisdom and intuition of...

Ana Norambuena held space for the Women of Earth Laboratory from 13-17 March 2024 in Kina, New Zealand.
She speaks about what happened, the shifts that occurred, the Sisterhood that was awakened, the fierce Love that Women reclaimed for moving forward, the radical commitment to following impulses and the Nothingness required to hold space for the emergence of an Unfolding of Everything in chaos.
She reveals especially the lie in patriarchy that Women are alone. Without that lie, with Women collaborating, being together, patriarchy stands no chance.
In one of the processes that Ana shares about, all the Women declared,...

"I think the authority of us Women to authorize ourselves to be that fierceness, unpredictability of Everything is something that in our heart we are deeply longing for. And no one can give this authorization for us to be Everything."
You may remember Gabriela Fagundes from one of our earlier episodes (Listen in here).
