Conversations with (mostly) Women that are taking a stand for regenerative cultures. As an Edgecast, we are broadcasting from and beyond the edge of patriarchy, mapping the way to Archiarchy: next culture of initiated adult Women and Men collaborating.
This Edgecast is brought to you by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten, Millicent Haughey and Hannah Abouzahrah, and is powered by Radically Alive Women Gameworld and distinctions from Possibility Management.
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 body of The Work that Reconnects to Lydia Violet's personal experiences, and everything in between.
You can join a course with Lydia Violet through her website https://schoolforthegreatturning.com/.
