Episodios

  • S3E16: Subjective Realities

    24/09/2018 Duración: 01h43min

    We speak about what we are looking for in relationships. Make some chai. Cut to talking about the ways in which meditation has changed us, our reality and way of navigating life. We speak about gaslighting vs. reality checking, and how to navigate receiving feedback when we are activated/triggered. We speak about the ways in which we may want to be called in/reality checked by our loved ones to help us notice when we are triggered. Oof, the trust that takes! We speak about social media addiction/dependency and the feelings that are so hard to be present with on a daily. We end with an epic tale from Dona about a time at burningman.

  • S3E15: Our Earth Our Bodies Part II

    14/08/2018 Duración: 01h26min

    In the second part of this conversation, Dona and Parneet go deep in speaking about feelings and experiences of contraction and expansion, how to discern whether something is in service to us growing or not, whether nature is always moving towards life or death and how this impacts us as people, communities, and systems of relating. We speak about our hopes and dreams and end with a body practice of expression expansion. It was beautiful and we blew our own minds. Apologies for the nature sounds including the hilariously loud cicada insect, wind chimes and the never ending renovations. Hope you enjoy it. Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/ChaiChats

  • S3E14: Our Earth Our Bodies Part I

    14/08/2018 Duración: 01h56s

    Dona and Parneet sit down for chai chats in Dona’s garden to go deep on the connect between relationships in nature and relationships between people and communities. We speak about the power of dreaming and curiosity for marginalized peoples. We speak about how difficult it is to access dreaming, joy and curiosity when we don’t feel safe. We speak about triggers and the ungodly order we put on one another in radical communities in trying to keep each other safe and responsibilize ourselves for each others emotions. Parneet shares her frustrations around the limitations and aggressions that happen when we believe we are responsible for not triggering each other and regulating each others emotions. Apologies for the nature sounds including the hilariously loud cicada insect, wind chimes and the never ending renovations. Hope you enjoy it.

  • S3E13: Shame Gremlin Part II

    31/07/2018 Duración: 01h22min

    Malek speaks about her depression. We discover what Parneet calls her shame gremlin, this recurring mental darkness that taints her everyday successes and impacts her life negatively. We discuss what it looks like to grow and accept our mental health at the same time. Parneet challenges the shame gremlins authority over Malek as it shows up during our chai chat. Dona and Parneet invite her to set boundaries and face this shame gremlin with courage. Metaphors for days as we exorcise the demons!

We hope our vulnerability is respected and acknowledged
