Under the Ginkgo Tree is a project of the Deignan Institute for Earth and Spirit. Rooted at Iona University, our aim is to cultivate conversations with eco-justice minded scholars and faith-based activists who are engaged in embodying integral ecology. In each episode, co-hosts Jim Robinson and Liam Myers facilitate reflection on our place in the wider web of life through conversations with guest speakers, embodied spiritual practices, and by identifying a particular plant on campus. Join us, Under the Ginkgo Tree!

episode Learning the Rhythms of the Land and Growing Food to Give It Away, with Edgar Hayes and Ann Rader cover

Learning the Rhythms of the Land and Growing Food to Give It Away, with Edgar Hayes and Ann Rader

Edgar Hayes and Ann Rader join us to speak about Freedom Farm, the community that they co-founded in 2006. Freedom Farm is “a faith-based organization based in Mount Hope, New York, that grows food to share with people who don’t have access to or can’t afford fresh produce.” They identify as a “gathering place for learning, healing, and reconnecting to this sacred earth, each other, and God.” Throughout our conversation, we get a sense of Edgar and Ann’s journey into this work. We discuss the spiritual and ethical commitments that inspire Freedom Farm. We also discuss the place of Freedom Farm in a wider web of communities and initiatives committed to spirituality, sustainability, and social justice. Learn more about Freedom Farm at their website: https://www.freedomfarmcommunity.org/ [https://www.freedomfarmcommunity.org/]

episode Tracing the Black Mystical Tradition from Tubman to Thurman, with Jordan Jones cover

Tracing the Black Mystical Tradition from Tubman to Thurman, with Jordan Jones

Join us for another conversation, Under the Ginkgo Tree, this time with Jordan Jones. Jordan is a minister, theologian, and community organizer. After he completes his Masters of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary this spring, he will continue his faith based organizing and his ministry at Metro Hope Church, a congregation in East Harlem. In this episode, Jordan shares the wisdom of both Harriet Tubman and Howard Thurman. After escaping slavery, Tubman went on to save over 70 enslaved people on her "trips of mercy.” A leader and a mentor in the civil rights movement, Thurman was a visionary theologian, author, minister, and professor. Jordan considers both Tubman and Thurman to be mystics, and reflects on their crucial contributions to the movement for Black liberation. We also discuss the ways that both figures had an intimate relationship with the land, and we ponder how their witness can guide us in our current reality of ecological catastrophe.

episode Telling the Story of the Universe, with Sam King. cover

Telling the Story of the Universe, with Sam King.

On our first episode of Under the Ginkgo Tree, we are joined by Sam King. A graduate of Yale Divinity School, Sam serves as Director of Sustainability for the U.S. Marist school network and as Project Manager for the Journey of the Universe film and multimedia project. In his work, Sam engages with both the scientific story of the universe as well as the eco-spiritual wisdom of a range of religious traditions. Sam speaks with us about his alarm at the gravity of our eco-crisis as well as his commitment to working for a more just and sustainable future. He speaks of the wisdom that he finds in the 13.8-billion-year story of the universe, as well as his efforts to invite others into this story. Throughout our conversation, we sense Sam’s capacity for holding together an awareness of the vastness of the universe with a deep attunement to that which is particular, local, and immediately present.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
