text: This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we take a moment to review and reflect on the tumultuous events of the past weeks, digging deeper into both the problems we face and the heart of change. We cover the elections, hate crimes, movement building, and how to center the heart for positive action as we move forward to address these times.
  Rivera Sun has big things going on this Summer, and she asked Getch to sit in for her, for a bit. So, this week Sherri Mitchell and Getch share a conversation between Rivera’s former, and current co-hosts.
  For those of you who started listening after Occupy Radio, David Geitgey Sierralupe is Getch, and he's also Rivera’s former side kick from Occupy Radio. Sherri and Getch are going to explore the nature of heart-based activism, and the nature of reality, this week on Love (and revolution) Radio.

  This week on Love (and revolution) radio, we speak with Gus Speth of the next system project about a paper he wrote called “The Joyful Economy: A Next System Possibility.”
  James Gustave Speth, who goes by “Gus” and speaks with a soft South Carolina drawl, is nobody’s picture of a radical. His resume is as mainstream and establishment as it gets: environmental advisor to Presidents Carter and Clinton, founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council and World Resources Institute, administrator of the U.N. Development Program, dean of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, now a professor at Vermont Law School, and distinguished senior fellow at Demos. Time magazine has called him the “ultimate insider.” Gus Speth: ‘Ultimate insider’ goes radical

  War, Peace, and The Way Between: Activists, Educators, Organizers On the Role of Story in Waging Peace
  This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we speak with five amazing guests - Kathy Kelly, Tom Hastings, David Soumis, Gretchen Casey, Cindy Reinhardt - who are all working in the fields of peace and conflict resolution as we take a look at Rivera Sun's novel, The Way Between, as lens for the escalating conflicts in our real world.
  Kathy Kelly is a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence and a co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, which sent over 70 delegations to Iraq from 1996 to 2003, in open defiance of deadly U.S./UN economic sanctions. Her most recent travel has involved extensive work with community organizers in Kabul, Afghanistan. Kelly's nonviolent activism has incurred frequent arrests including several lengthy incarcerations in U.S. prisons against whose conditions she also campaigns.
  David Soumis is a member of Veterans For Peace. Along with Lars Prip and other local VFP members, he demonstrates for peace weekly in Madison, WI, as well as participates in numerous other nonviolent actions for peace and justice.
  Gretchen Casey is the Training and Outreach Director for the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding in Gainesville, Florida. She is the founder of Unshame, a social media platform breaking the stigma around sexual violence. She has been a Victim Advocate with the Florida State Attorney's Office and Attorney General's Office for thirty-two years.
  Cindy Reinhardt works with people in coaching and runs a bed and breakfast in Crestone, CO, offering multi-day retreats to help people harmonize with their self, others, and the planet.
  On this week's Love (and Revolution) Radio show, we speak with author Robert Atkinson about his new book "The Story of Our Time" and how the long arc of human history is bending from duality to interconnectedness to oneness . . . and what that means for each of us as we move through a time of great change.
  Robert Atkinson, Ph.D., is an internationally acknowledged authority in helping people tell their life stories. He is a pioneer in the development of the life story interview methodology and among the first to apply Joseph Campbell’s classic work on the mythological journey of the hero to contemporary personal mythmaking. His books in these areas, The Gift of Stories: Practical and Spiritual Applications of Autobiography, Life Stories, and Personal Mythmaking (1995) and The Life Story Interview (1998), have been translated into Japanese, Italian, and Romanian and are widely used in personal growth and life review settings.
  This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we speak with Anne Symens-Bucher about the powerful experiential trainings and worldview called "The Work That Reconnects" and the lessons that bring us back to our hearts and into action during this time of the Great Turning.
  Anne Symens-Bucher was first introduced to the work of Joanna Macy in 1984 and has served as her executive assistant since 2006. She is deeply immersed in Macy’s work and has been facilitating Work That Reconnects workshops for many years. In addition to Joanna Macy, Anne has learned directly from Dorothy Day, Richard Rohr, Marshall Rosenberg, and Bill Plotkin. Her teaching is woven from these mentors, from many years immersed in a nonviolent campaign to end nuclear weapons testing in the Nevada desert, and 25 years in the Franciscan Justice, Peace & Integrity Creation Office of the St. Barbara Province. The place of her deepest practice has been in her 30-year marriage and parenting of five children. She is deeply grateful for her Catholic Franciscan upbringing, which set her on the path of her soul work. Anne is a trained spiritual director and enjoys supporting people to embrace what is theirs to do.
