Stay ConnectedJoin Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown, two sisters who share many identities, as writers, activists, facilitators, and inheritors of multiracial diasporic lineages, as well as a particular interest in the question of survival, as we embark on a podcast that delves into the practices we need as a community, to move through endings and to come out whole on the other side, whatever that might be.

We are Earthseed. We are flesh—self aware, questing, problem-solving flesh. We are that aspect of Earthlife best able to shape God knowingly. We are Earthlife maturing, Earthlife preparing to fall away from the parent world. We are Earthlife preparing to take root in new ground, Earthlife fulfilling its purpose, its promise, its Destiny. - Octavia Butler, Earthseed verses Our bodies, right now at this moment are both colonizers on this planet and our bodies are also colonized spaces on this planet. In this episode we get into talking about why getting in a right relationship with our bodies is key to getting in right relationship with the planet.

"To survive, let the past teach you. Past customs, struggles, leaders and thinkers. Let these help you. Let them inspire you, warn you, give you strength. But beware, God is change. Past is past. What was cannot come again. To survive, know the past, let it touch you, then let the past go." - Octavia Butler, Earthseed When we talk about the end of the world, we need to think about what is ending. This episode is about exploring endings large and small. Music by Tunde Olaniran and Blue Dot Sessions - https://www.endoftheworldshow.org/ https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow
