Palmer and Carrie Newcomer explore May Sarton’s poem, “An Observation.” Gardening is rich with metaphors for a well-lived life. Amend and prepare the soil. Plant the seeds, tend them, and weed out whatever impedes growth. Marvel at the process and share the harvest: we’re here to feed one another as well as ourselves. “An Observation” offers a less obvious metaphor: a well-lived life needs to be both gentle and strong, tender and fierce. We hope you’ll join us for this rich conversation! | — | ||||||

| 9/30/23 | ![]() Episode 53: The Inner Roots of Democracy - Holding Difference & Prophetic Voice | In this podcast Parker and Carrie wrestle with when and how we creatively hold the tension of our differences, and when differences are to grievous and do not yield to creative tension holding.

For more about generative spaces for democracy and the common good check out Parker’s book "Healing The Heart of Democracy" | — | ||||||

We explore together Shelli’s history and vocation in passionate public service, as well as reclaiming the word politics and politician, holding difference and finding common ground. In a time when the most extreme and strident voices are more likely to get media sound bytes, it was deeply moving and encouraging to be in conversation with someone doing faithful and thoughtful daily work in public service. For more about creating generative spaces for democracy and the common good, check out Parker’s book Healing The Heart of Democracy | — | ||||||
| 6/1/23 | ![]() Episode 51: All Real Living Is Meeting: Is Community Possible | In this podcast, Carrie and Parker talk about our individual and collective longing for safe and generative community. We’ve always been tugged between our western culture’s drive toward individuality and our desire for a meaningful life together. In this Post-covid time, people are a little rusty at being in community. We are also reassessing what meaningful community looks like and how we choose to participate. Carrie and Parker explore how meeting happens in the space between us, and how critical it is to be mindful about how we hold that space. Gathering in circles is an ancient practice that is being revived in our time. But not all circles are designed to welcome the soul, and so how we intentionally create those safe and generative spaces? | — | ||||||
| 3/31/23 | ![]() Episode 50: A Conversation with Scott Russell Sanders, author of “Small Marvels” | In this podcast, Carrie and Parker talk with author Scott Russell Sanders about his new book Small Marvels.

I hope you’ll join us for this heart-opening conversation. | — | ||||||
| 1/31/23 | ![]() Episode 49 An Exploration of The poem "Thanks, Robert Frost" | Parker and Carrie hope you'll join us as we explore the poem "Thanks, Robert Frost" by David Ray.

| 9/30/22 | ![]() Episode 47: Reunion—A Conversation with Jerry Colonna | In this conversation with Jerry Colonna—co-founder and CEO of Reboot, an international executive coaching and leadership development firm—we range from childhood wounds and the way they can distort our adult roles, to race in America and role leaders can play in helping to build the Beloved Community. Jerry’s new book “Reunion: Leadership and the Journey to Belonging,” explores how being a better human means the ability to brave the truth and then actively engage in debunking myths of sameness, dismantling “othering" systems, and working directly for the wellbeing of the dispossessed and disinherited. Please join us for this timely, fascinating, and urgent conversation. | — | ||||||
| 7/31/22 | ![]() Episode 46: Reforming What Was Deformed | Parker and Carrie talk about the challenges of staying in dialogue during divisive times, how to claim agency and the courage to stay engaged. Many of us were raised with a household rule to never talk about religion or politics in polite company. In this episode we unpack and reframe the true meaning of the words "religion" and "politics". We explore defining politics as not a listing of current events, but as a conversation about the holding of power and religion as not being about the particulars of theology, but as the quest for meaning. By redefining these terms, we might be able to get to places where we can talk about our most deeply held values and beliefs, find common ground and a way forward together. It’s worth a try! | — | ||||||
| 5/31/22 | ![]() Episode 45 Podcast The Promise of Loving Kindness, The Problem of Evil | In this episode Parker & Carrie explore how to hold and acknowledge the presence of evil and great goodness in our world.
