21 episoderSince we’ve just completed the release of our 10-part series, We Are the Great Turning, we wanted to introduce you to another podcast with a spirit similar to ours: Outrage + Optimism [https://www.outrageandoptimism.org/]. The episode we’re going to play for you is called “Our Story of Nature: From Rupture to Reconnection.” It’s the first in a miniseries that shines a light on our relationship to the rest of nature. Remembering our place in the web of life is an essential part of building the Great Turning. Be sure to subscribe to their podcast, and give them a follow on social media @outrageoptimism. Now that this season of We Are the Great Turning is over, naturally, the question that’s emerging is … “What’s next?” As we consider whether to do a second season, we’d love to hear more about what you got from the first. What impact has it had in your life, and what might you love to hear from us next? Send us an email or a voice note at greatturning@soundstrue.com [greatturning@soundstrue.com] or send Jess a DM on Instagram @jess_serrante.
In Episode 10, “We Are the Great Turning,” [https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/s1-ep-10-we-are-the-great-turning] Joanna shares a story called the “Shambala Warrior Prophecy,” which was told to her by her friend, Tibetan Monk Chogyal Rinpoche. Joanna was tasked with teaching this prophecy in the West, and it’s one of her most famous teachings. We wanted to separate the story from Episode 10 so that you can come back to the story again and again, whenever you need the inspiration and wisdom it offers. Here is Joanna telling the Shambhala Warrior Prophecy. We recommend starting a podcast club [https://resources.soundstrue.com/we-are-the-great-turning-toolkit/] with friends or family to do these practices together. Links and assets to help prompt reflection and build community can be found with every episode on WeAreTheGreatTurning.com [http://wearethegreatturning.com].
This bonus episode will support you to take the main insights from Episode 10, “We Are the Great Turning,” [https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/s1-ep-10-we-are-the-great-turning] deeper into your life. Jess will guide you through an adaptation of the Work That Reconnects exercise called “Callings and Resources.” In it, you and a friend will take turns interviewing each other. You’ll name a contribution you’d like to make in service of the Great Turning, take inventory of the resources you have and need to achieve your goal, and clarify the small next steps you can take. All you’ll need for this bonus exercise is paper and pen, or a digital notes app, and a place where you can get comfortable, share freely, and listen carefully.

As this journey around the spiral comes to a close, Jess brings us back to the table with Joanna for one last profound conversation. Joanna shares an ancient Tibetan prophecy, “The Coming of the Kingdom of Shambhala,” which shows us that the way we build the Great Turning is through compassion and insight into the radical interdependence of all things. Jess reflects on the transformative experience of making this podcast, and Joanna expresses deep love and belief in Jess and her generation, urging us to draw upon ancestral wisdom and “the web of connections” to sustain them through the challenges ahead. In this episode: * The Shambhala Prophecy tells us to act with compassion and insight into the radical interdependence of all things * Joanna’s teachings, love, and mentorship will remain an enduring source of strength and guidance for Jess and so many others * As the spiral of the Work That Reconnects comes to a close, the greater work of the Great Turning continues, carried forward by each person who has been touched by these conversations * Bonus Exercise: The Shambala Warrior Prophecy [https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/ep-10-bonus-the-shambala-warrior-prophecy] * Bonus Exercise: Callings and Resources [https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/ep-10-bonus-callings-and-resources] We recommend starting a podcast club [https://resources.soundstrue.com/we-are-the-great-turning-toolkit/] with friends or family to do these practices together.

This bonus episode will support you to take the main insights from Episode 9: “Live the Questions Now” [https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/s1-ep-9-live-the-questions-now] deeper into your life. Jess will guide you through an adaptation of the Work That Reconnects exercise called “The Bodhisattva Check-In.” In Buddhism, the bodhisattva is the archetype of the compassionate person who devotes themself to collective well-being. In this exercise, you will be invited to use your imagination to “step in” to each of the circumstances of your life in order to make the contribution to the Great Turning that is yours to make. All you’ll need for this bonus exercise is enough space to take slow meditative steps in a straight line or in a circle. A living room or a yard are great. If you don’t want to or can’t walk, there will be instructions on how to do this without moving. You’ll need a total of 20 minutes, including time after the recording has ended.
