“I can’t bring peace in the world if I don’t have it.”  - Reggie Hubbard In this episode Eva lands with a kindred spirit and parallel partner in Peace. His name is Reggie Hubbard, founder of Active Peace Yoga [https://activepeaceyoga.com/]. Stepping up to offer calm and radical presence in the crises of Covid in 2020, Reggie has been sending out lifeboats of love through the language of gongs and bowls, to all the madness of the last 6 years, which there has plenty of..  From the moment we come in contact with Reggie’s radical presence and attunement, his  compassion shines.   It’s a multi-lane intersection of activism, spirituality, embodiment, social transformation, and nervous system regulation.

Hawah Kasat : Calling Men to Peace Series 2, Is Peace a Privilege?

What becomes possible when boys and men are offered safe, compassionate spaces to fully express their humanity? That's what we are setting out to discover in this series, Calling Men to Peace. In Part 2 of the Calling Men to Peace series, Eva sits down with global humanitarian, author, non-profit founder and community organizer Hawah Kasat [https://hawahkasat.com/], who is also creator and host of the stunningly powerful Everlutionary Podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everlutionary-healing-and-transforming-the-world/id1748119208]. Drawing from two decades of experience working with boys and young men, Hawah speaks about the range of challenges he has observed that boys and men are facing. Starting with his earliest work supporting boys in Southeast Washington DC over 20 years ago, he began articulating and responding to a broader framework of cultural, social and emotional developmental that education systems were failing to meet. This is fascinating conversation goes on to trace Hawah's journey co-founding the non-profit organization One Common Unity, [https://www.linkedin.com/company/one-common-unity] where he began initiating rites of passage into unchartered local landscapes as well as creating community plaforms for cultural and artistic expression. This conversation moves beyond looking at what's wrong and instead asks, What happens when men no longer have to perform their strength at the expense of vulnerability and connection? Together, Eva and Hawah reflect on their life expereinces - growing up navigating between different worlds - that helped inform their callings toward justice and serving peace.

Charles Eisenstein: Calling Men to Peace Series 1: Power in the State of Peace

Hosted by Eva Dalak Produced and Co-hosted with J'aime Rothbard What's the worst thing that can happen when recording a conversation with somebody who you hold in high esteem and admire greatly? Here's the answer: Listen to the entire conversation blossom, unfurl and come to close before you realize that you forgot to press record. That's precisely what happened in our first run sitting down with speaker and writer Charles Eisenstein [https://charleseisenstein.org/author/], and that's where we kick off this second conversation. We open with podcast producer J'aime retelling the story of the first conversation between Eva and Charles - key points including: * presencing the power of magic and miracles into spaces where all hope feels lost, where sheer reality would suggest faliure is inevitable. * Why we would be wise to become curious in spaces that at first glance may summon our defenses and judgement. * How the power of welcoming our triggered responses into the light with loving grace is the key to becoming wholly who we are. All of that sat well and wondrous until J'aime realized the conversation had gone on without ever having pressed the record button. Can you feel your stomach dropping out of your body with this realization? Stick around to find out what actually happened - how this mistake which J'aime expected would lead to her being casted into a state of exhile was met with something else: Peace. This is the first in a series we are exploring, Calling Men to Peace. Here, Charles reflects with us as we inquire into what men need to feel and believe about themselves to enter into arenas of service, peace and healing.

Peace Activation in the Midst of Moving Grief With Haneen Sabbah

In this deeply moving episode, Eva sits with Haneen who is a writer, mother, and activist originally from Gaza, to explore what it means to activate peace in the midst of unimaginable loss, displacement, and ongoing violence. This is not a conversation about abstract peace. It is a lived, embodied exploration of how we continue, how we grieve, resist, create, and remain human when everything around us is asking us to shut down. Haneen shares her personal journey of loss, including the death of her father, while holding the collective grief of her people. Through poetry, culture, and presence, she reveals how peace is not the absence of pain, but the capacity to stay connected to life within it. Eva expands on how Peace Activation offers tools for self-regulation, inner connection, and conscious action, now being made accessible globally in five languages, including a new Arabic offering co-created with Haneen. The episode closes with a powerful call forward: For all of us to become integrated in our masculine and feminine qualities, and to step into peace, responsibility, and wholeness.
