Christian Picciolini - From Neo-Nazi to Enlightened Leader Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

Includes a Passage from Christian's book - "White American Youth"

REBOOT EPISODE - this is one of our favorite episodes we've ever recorded! It was previously episode #2 so we decided to bring it back over the holiday season. It is a very powerful and important conversation - one that will inspire you in a multitude of ways and give you hope. Happy Holidays x DENtalks Podcast team

In this week’s episode we cover a controversial topic with Christian Picciolini – an author, public speaker, musician and former neo-Nazi leader. After leaving the white supremacist movement he helped create when he was just 16 years old, Christian started dedicating his career to helping others overcome their own hate. He is now co-founder of the nonprofit Life After Hate and founder of the Free Radicals Project, a network of people who are working to prevent extremism and help people leave extremist groups. Christian talks to us about his childhood and how he was recruited into the Neo-Nazi movement, which often targets vulnerable young men with broken promises of power and a sense of belonging. As we live in a society that’s quick to shame and condemn extremists as irredeemable, Christian shares with us why he finds this to be ineffective, and how extending compassion towards someone who may not deserve it might be the only way to create real change. We talk about the importance of community, identity and purpose as our most fundamental needs and how people are recruited into hate groups less because of ideology or dogma, but rather because of a broken search for identity. Stay tuned for the end of the episode, where Christian closes our discussion by reading an excerpt from his book, “White American Youth.”

Jedidiah Jenkins - 14,000 Mile Journey Within Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

Includes one of Jedidah's favorite poems.

We have a very special guest this week, travel writer, public speaker, and the author of “To Shake The Sleeping Self, Jedidah Jenkins, is with us on #DENtalksPodcast! This episode is a treat, we dig into Jedidah’s memoir of his 14,000 mile cycling trip from Oregon to Patagonia and the surprising (or not so surprising) lessons that came out of this brave adventure. Jedidah jumps right into some heavy topics such as the stages of enlightenment, dismantling the order we’ve been taught as children, questioning his strong Christian faith, navigating being a gay Christian, how the Discovery Channel was an outlet for his childhood curiosity, his internal experience in the Mexican desert alone with his bike, his perspective on social media and travel today, and even his theory on time. This episode has so many incredible takeaways, but one of the biggest lessons Jedidah shares is how a journey like the one he took, really do work in impacting and changing your life forever. It may not be on your expected timeline, but the journey is always working within you. He even shares a beautiful poem with us at the end of the episode for his Personal Practice - you don’t want to miss it!

Shannon Algeo - GRATITUDE Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Includes a Gratitude Meditation.

In this week’s episode, we welcome back the highly skilled life coach, motivational speaker, and yoga/meditation teacher, Shannon Algeo, to talk to us about the practice of gratitude just in time for the holiday season. In this episode, Shannon talks to us about using gratitude as both a spiritual and mental health practice. He shares daily rituals you can use to implement gratitude and shows us how these rituals can cause a shift in perspective that can empower you. This is a great episode especially for someone battling with a lack mentality or negative thoughts to start small to create a big shift! Instead of ignoring or skipping intense emotions, we talk about how letting go of resistance and finding something small that is working in your life can develop mental resilience so you can shift from one state to another. We also talk about how gratitude can connect us back to our spiritual practice by coming from a place of understanding that everything is happening the way it needs to for you to learn and become your highest self. Join us after the episode as Shannon leads us into a gratitude meditation practice!

Shaman Durek - DENtalks LIVE: Spirit Hacking Book Launch Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Includes meditation that will increase your power!

For our latest DENtalks LIVE event, we were very fortunate to have Shaman Durek join us to celebrate his Spirit Hacking Book Launch! We dive right into it with him, discussing topics such as realizing your own power and purpose, the more effective way to create social change, and the power behind our thoughts and words. We also talk about how being aware of our expectations and how things ‘should’ be can help us accept what is actually right in front of us - and how sometimes, the very things we want to change in people, we actually end up reinforcing by putting them into boxes and making negativity have an even more active response in their life. Shaman Durek shares with us some very specific, insightful ideas as to how we can create change in people and communities around us by instead setting up a space for love and growth. The underlying theme throughout our conversation is seeing things through the lens of love instead of fear. This talk will especially resonate for those looking to get out of a victim mentality and create positive change in both their own lives and the lives of others. Stay tuned for our Q&A and a meditation led by Shaman Durek to lift your spirits and increase your power.
