Male Violence, Militarism and Mass Killings
What role does gender play and why is it so ignored by the media? How is empathy bred out of men, and how can we restore it? How can we make people feel the deaths of thousands of children in Afghanistan and Palestine, or in our own inner cities, as acutely as those in Newtown, Connecticut? Is this a "tipping point" moment for action on gun control? These and other questions are explored in this engaging half hour discussion.
A discussion with authors and activists Elana Dykewomon, Kathleen Barry and Judith Mirkinson about unexplored dimensions of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. Audio: 31:26

Interview with Meditation & Spirituality Teacher Spring Washam
Spring Washam is hosting two Great Turning events New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. She writes:
"The great turning is happening NOW as we turn towards a life sustaining model of community, generosity and interconnectedness. We have enormous power and our hearts songs are weaving a new tapestry in the collective consciousness of our human family. Gaia is our home. It’s time we reclaim the earth as our sacred altar."
In this interview with Syra Smith, she talks about her philosophy, her work in mediatation and spirituality, the purpose of the events and how they came together. The Great Turning is a benefit for The Sujata Project, which will provide accessible retreats for low-income Bay Area women.
