Episode 1: We've Always Been Dreaming

“We’ve always been dreaming our ancestors did it in prayer, in rhythm, in rest.” This episode opens the mini-series Dreaming Beyond Time: Meditation, Pop Culture, and Futurism by exploring the deep ancestral roots of Black dreaming, mindfulness, and rest as forms of resistance and memory. We honor spiritual practices like libations and prophetic dreaming as time travel and survival. Through cultural storytelling and reflections on works like Beyoncé’s Black Is King and Ryan Coogler's Sinners, we reframe meditation not as escape, but as a return to self, legacy, and liberation. Keep dreaming boldly, keep building justly, and keep living joyously! Find Me and Follow Me on Social Media IG: felicialrutledge Contact Me:  Email: hello@felicialrutledgeconsulting.com

Episode 6: Being + Living the Dream = Sustaining Collective Futures

"Rest is resistance." – Tricia Hersey, The Nap Ministry Dreaming of a just future is one thing—sustaining it is another. Movements don’t thrive on struggle alone; they require rest, joy, and long-term visioning. How do we move beyond survival and step into thriving, healing, and collective care? In this final episode of Collective Dreams: Innovating Together for a Just Future, we explore the radical power of rest, creativity, and community in sustaining liberation work. With wisdom from Tricia Hersey, Octavia Butler, and Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown, we reflect on what it means to build futures rooted in joy, ease, and care—not just resistance. Because dreaming is just the beginning. Living the dream? That’s the revolution.  Let’s close this series with rest, imagination, and liberation.

episode Episode 5: Collective Action x Collective Liberation + External Vigilance = Power artwork

Episode 5: Collective Action x Collective Liberation + External Vigilance = Power

"Strong people don’t need strong leaders." Ella Baker We’ve been told that power belongs to individuals...the visionary, the savior, the one who "fixes" everything. But history tells a different story. Real power is collective. It’s built in communities, sustained through relationships, and rooted in shared leadership. In this episode of Joyous Just Dreaming, we break down the myth of individual power and explore how movements—from the Civil Rights era to Disability Justice have thrived through collective action. Drawing from the wisdom of Ella Baker, Angela Davis, and Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown, we ask: How do we shift from "I" to "We" in our fight for justice? Let’s reimagine power together.  Let's Connect  Instagram: felicialrutledge  Website: felicialrutledgeconsulting.com  Email: hello@felicialrutledgeconsulting.com

"I deserve it all." – Kendrick Lamar, Man in the Garden What does it mean to claim the future we deserve? In this episode, we explore how collective action turns dreams into reality.

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.
