Destiny Lines: Sacred Activism for Peacemaking and Ending Violence with Rachel Mann PhD
Join Rachel Mann, PhD, sacred activist, social scientist, healer and spiritual mentor and her amazing guests on her podcast, Destiny Lines: Sacred Activism for Peacemaking and Ending Violence as they explore the multidimensional sources and impacts of violence and how we can end the cycle for future generations into an enduring peace. In these tumultuous times, it is critically important to continue to build a Great Wave of Peace on a planetary level. Destiny lines are energetic pathways of light along which humanity and the planet travels from the dimension of the soul at the moment of birth and on into this physical time-space continuum, and from there, into the present and towards the future. We stand at a critical turning point in which violence in all its forms, from subtle to overt, unfolds and escalates in every corner of the world. To heal and end transgenerational cycles of violence and build a sustainable world, we must expand on and even change political, societal, psychological, and medical solutions to include spiritual practices, tools, and wisdom. Building the fires of compassion into practical actions will have an exponential impact on all the challenges we face, including war, genocide, racism, oppression, climate change, poverty, and economic justice.Tune into interviews with: Chris Saade, a psychological and philosophical teacher, trainer, life coach, and author of Rebellion of the Heart: Deep Authenticity, Bold Love, Passion, Strength, & Global Solidarity, and a new 6th book with co author Mandy Bird, Tears Are the Source of Your Passion: The Power of Authenticity & Grief(facebook.com/ChrisSaadeAuthor) .Mandy Bird, LCMHC Mandy Bird, LCMHC, licensed clinical mental health counselor, grief coach and specialist, speaker, and author of co author with Chris Saade, Tears Are the Source of Your Passion: The Power of Authenticity & Grief (mandybird.com/about).Chelan Harkin, Mystic Poet and author of Let Us Dance!

Activism for Change in the Prison System through Healing Trauma with Jesse Crosson, Former Inmate, Writer and Activist
Jesse Crosson speaks with Rachel about his experiences as an inmate for 22 years in Virginia prisons and his perspectives on how there is better way to address criminal justice, a way that respects victims and prioritizes both public safety and genuine rehabilitation for offenders. He also shares how learning meditation and a spiritual experience when hitting bottom as an alcoholic radically changed the trajectory of his life and how such resources should be made available to all inmates. As he and his friend and colleague for the project, journalist, Courtney Stewart puts it, there's a better way to address criminal justice in a way that respects victims and prioritizes both public safety and genuine rehabilitation for offenders. He discusses why he believes we can be part of the solution.
Jesse Crosson is a former inmate in Virginia correctional facilities, a writer and activist on behalf of reforming the way the justice system works and the way inmates are treated. While in prison, he received a degree in psychology from Ohio University. He volunteered as a mentor in the mental health treatment unit, he learned job skills taught programs, connected with other people, and as he puts it, passed on the love and support that was so steadily given to him by so many. Jesse was released after nearly 19 years in August of 2021, with a conditional pardon by the Virginia Governor, citing the fact that he had committed the crimes before the age of 18, was sentenced to twice the high point of the sentencing guidelines, and had made great strides to improve himself and help others while inside. jessecrosson.com
