Peace is an Action Verb

We think of peace as an inner state of stillness, an indescribable quality that we all seek. But what if peace is actually comprised of action verbs? Join host Christine Boschen as she interviews everyday and not-so-everyday people about their "peace action verbs". A note from Christine: I started dreaming of this project in 2016. I became obsessed with the concept of peace verbs. They were coming into my mind one after another, and as they did, I carved them out of paper and put them up on a wall in our family home. My goals are to bring peace within reach by exploring the various peace action verbs at play in my guests' lives, and to inspire reflection in my listeners about their own peace action verbs.Christine is an intuitive channel, body-focused meditation teacher, facilitator, and communication coach.

2021 Senior Australian of the Year, Dr. Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr Baumann’s gift, Dadirri

I pronounced it wrong. (Da Di dee). The Aboriginal languages I know pronounce the rr as a rolled r but it is silent as used by this language group. It is quite fitting for your podcast – listening to people’s stories, which heals pain, anger, etc.

This video is narrated by Judy Atkinson who promoted a lot of Miriam’s work (I think it is through her book I found out about it).

DADIRRI (Official Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr Video, 3-minute promo)

This 3-minute video is awesome – narrated by Miriam

“To know me is to breathe with me, to breathe with me is to listen deeply”…”To listen deeply is to connect”… “Dadirri the deep inner spring inside us, we call on it and it calls on us”.

I also didn’t pronounce Makarrata properly (conflict resolution/treaty/to bring about peace) I said Madarraka.

Venue: Sacha Boodja, 2.5 hours east of Perth. This place is lovingly cared for by Mandakini and Rumi, experienced spiritual practitioners who were called to the land over a decade ago. A very special granite outcrop area, they took over the land from a farmer and are now overseeing its regeneration. It has a special feeling of a centre for healing of the land in this area.
