The Peace Activation Podcast

Astrology, Inner Peace, and Navigating Times of Great Change

What if peace is not something we create, but something we remember? In this expansive conversation, Eva Dalak sits down with renowned and legendary astrologer, psychologist, and author Debra Silverman [https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/] to explore the intersection of astrology, psychology, leadership, and inner transformation. Drawing on nearly five decades of astrological practice and a background in clinical psychology, Debra shares how astrology can become a tool not for prediction, but for self-awareness, emotional maturity, and conscious evolution. Together, Eva and Debra explore the unconscious forces that drive human behavior, the role of the four elements in personal and collective healing, and how leaders can better understand themselves and their teams through an awareness of natural cycles and archetypes. The conversation also weaves in Eva's own journey through blindness and the emergence of Peace Activation as a methodology rooted in deep listening, heart-centered witnessing, and embodied transformation. At a time when the world is navigating profound uncertainty and change, this dialogue offers a powerful invitation to return inward, cultivate self-awareness, and become a more conscious participant in our collective future.

Calling Men to Peace Part 4: Reimagining Protection, Peace, and the Role of Men with Yael Patir

In this episode of the Peace Activation Podcast, recorded in the lead-up to the Calling Men to Peace initiative, Eva sits down with longtime Israeli peace activist Yael Patir for a deeply personal conversation about conflict, conditioning, protection, and the role men must play in building a more peaceful future. Drawing from decades of peace activism and lived experience within Israeli society, Yael reflects on the stories many Israeli men inherit about military service, heroism, duty, and protection. Together, she and Eva explore how violence is often normalized through culture and identity, and what it might take to create new models of masculinity rooted in awareness, regulation, and connection rather than fear and reactivity. The conversation becomes a powerful exploration of Peace Activation's core premise: peace is not something we achieve in the future. It is a capacity we can practice now. As Eva prepares to launch Calling Men to Peace, she asks a provocative question: Are we investing enough in helping men develop the capacities required for peace?

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.
