Is it possible to come to know Spirit better through engaging deeply with the Hebrew Bible? Certainly, the long traditions of students in Judaic and Christian traditions suggest so.

Rabbi Nahum Ward-Lev has long been a friend and teacher of mine. I am delighted to be able to bring his voice and wisdom to you. Our conversation is all about justice, love, and G*d's journey with his people, especially the Prophets, in the Old Testament.

He recently wrote a beautiful book, The Liberating Path of the Hebrew Prophets: Then and Now. I encourage folks to buy it, especially anyone who is actively engaging with Old or New Testament, but also those who want to better understand a way that social justice is continually revealed as critical to the G*d of the Old Testament's relationship with his beloved People.

This conversation starts with Rabbi Nahum's translation of the Hebrew word YHWH, (often translated into English as Jehovah) into "the Living Presence." This beautiful translation speaks to the continually becoming and dynamic nature of the Divine. We go from there into Genesis... and onwards. It is a rich conversation, shimmering with symbolic meaning for our times.

In this Storytelling Episode of The ReMembering and ReEnchanting Podcast, Sara Jolena shares how her father's death launched her into a convergence of different aspects of her spiritual, national, cultural and familial ancestry. This ancestral convergence transformed her, and led her to do the ReMembering work that she does today.

We dialogue with Professor Mark Wallace (Swarthmore College, PhD from U. Chicago) about his recent eco-theological book, "When God was a Bird: Christianity, Animism, and the ReEnchantment of the World."

It is a beautiful exploration of viewing the Bible not only through "green" eyes but through an "animist" lens.

We cover:

• God did not only "enflesh" (Him/Her)Self, but S/he "enfeathered" Themselves
• The queer, animist nature of the Genesis Creation story
• The Serpent God told the Hebrew People to look at for healing
• Jesus working in 'shamanistic' ways when he works with the highly potent dust/earth at his feet to perform his healings
• The Fluidity of the Divine

And wonder at the extent to which it is time to lay to rest some of the divisions between "animist" practices and the Judeo-Christian tradition that has caused so much riff over the years.

It's a bit long, but I hope you find it is worth the time it takes to listen to it!

Midwife Krystina Friedlander and Death Worker Michelle Acciavatti join hostess Sara Jolena for our first episode in this season to discuss the ways in which the most significant transitions of our lives, being born and dying, are shifting during COVID-19 and the subsequent global quarantine.

Their friendship and companionship as healers and doulas at opposite ends of the spectrum shines as they find many similarities in the way in which their intimate work with our bodies is changing. In what promises to be the first of several conversations around topics of birth, death, suffering and celebration, we here deepen our understanding of what their work actually entails, the importance of unspoken intimacy, and the communal importance of both entering and leaving this precious life we share together.

Yes, we are talking explicitly here about dead bodies, blood, and grief; all of which are topics we often rather leave to the murder mysteries on our television than to frank conversations amidst ourselves. If discussions of dead bodies makes you squeemish, you might want to leave this one aside, but I invite you to journey with us.

Please feel free to visit Krystina's website (www.barakabirth.com) and Michelle's website (ending-well.com); though their work keeps them closely bound to their place (New Jersey and New Hampshire, respectfully), they both welcome conversations. I'm confident we will be hearing more on these topics and from these two gracious, loving guides as we move forward together.
