Begin a dialogue on racial justice, reconciliation, and transformation.
In April of 2017, the Joan and Ralph Lane Center for Catholic Studies and Social Thought at the University of San Francisco sponsored a roundtable discussion on race and incarceration. The event brought together the wisdom of formerly incarcerated activists and leaders with artists, ministers and scholars of various disciplines--law, sociology, theology, critical race theory, and pastoral ministry. Participants investigated the historical, legal, and political structures behind the mass incarceration of people of color in the United States. It also explored the impact of the criminal justice system on individuals and families while identifying the ethical and theological dimensions of this reality. The intent of the roundtable was to use the Jesuit tradition of consciousness-raising to bridge the resources of the university with those of the community.
The roundtable created a space for all participants to begin a dialogue on racial justice, reconciliation, and transformation. The discussion not only exposed the historical, social, legal, and ethical dimensions of racial injustice in our prisons; it highlighted the resilience and strategies of resistance among incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. In particular, the conversation and resulting essays lifted up the role of spirituality and creative expression as essential to the survival and transformation of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people. This book is an expression and expansion of that conversation.

Описание:
How does a conversation begin about a topic that we can't talk about--that no one really talks about? Where is the jumping off point to cut through the intellectual definitions and the sterile antiseptic medical terminology to reach a place in which real words, experiences and feelings can be used to speak about the unspeakable? Who has the capability, the depth of experience, the sensitivity, knowledge, or even more, the audacity to give themselves license to discuss our universally shared last act on the planet?
All of our respective cultures acknowledge the magnitude of death as the major event it is with structured behaviors and traditions. Afterlives, reincarnation, heaven and hell are all constructs that may help us deal with the consuming emotions of loss and humanly unanswerable questions surrounding the permanence of our souls. We would like to present for consideration, from a perspective of our own personal experience and that as healthcare workers, the idea that since death is inevitable, reasonable and appropriate we should embrace the concept and give ourselves and our loved ones the opportunity to die in a well-planned, dignified manner.
Without any pomp or ceremony, and with considerable humility, the authors of this volume attempt to advance the conversation that we've all never had about death--not someone else's death--not the stages of dealing with death--not the objective chemical reactions associated with death--and certainly not the legal definitions or issues of outside agencies' involvement in death--but of our own, not be denied, impending exit from this life.
We, who live with death each day of our professional careers, want to reach and speak out. Beyond our own individual indoctrinations, we, who have seen untold unnecessary suffering of patients and their families, want an opportunity to contribute to changing the conversation from life at all emotional, physical, spiritual and financial costs toward a release from fear and guilt and acceptance and celebration of life's natural conclusion. We offer: Permission to Die.

Описание: Before Jim Grant became The Resurrection Man he was just a Yorkshire cop with a short fuse... Yorkshire, Los Angeles, Boston, Texas, Mexico and much more. Helping an old lady get her stolen glasses back and dangling the thief over a cliff is just the start of a tarnished career and these stories fill in some of the gaps between his more widely published adventures. From the "Heavy Petting Chasing Tail Zen Dog Pet Boutique" to a bar at "Boquillas Crossing," Grant just can't let injustice go unpunished. But he's not the only Yorkshireman in America. These stories also introduce Vince McNulty, a Yorkshire ex-cop now working for a tinpot movie company in Boston. It would be a strange coincidence if these two men didn't know each other. Cops don't believe in coincidence. Neither should you.

Описание: Permission is a playful book with serious intent. In a series of light-hearted short sections, integrated with lively graphics, this book guides all who believe in the value of creativity how to give themselves and others permission to go beyond lip-service to actual service. Permission is filled with examples and ideas for giving (and, in turn, getting and taking) permission. It is a simple, clear, and delightful take on the serious subject of innovation, learning and engagement. It is playful because it opens up more space for people to play with possibilities, play new roles and experience more play in the system(s) in which they work. It is serious because when people have permission to innovate, learn and engage significant business results follow. You will discover new ways to: -Energize your team -Generate more ideas -Improve employee engagement -Have more fun at work -Create space for acceptance and inclusion Most individuals and organizations espouse wonderful ideals. They advocate for innovation, questioning old assumptions, change, flexibility, responsiveness, empowerment, engagement and leadership. Making these ideals a reality is something else entirely. In author Pamela Meyer's research on innovative organizations and the space people create for innovating, learning and changing she made a new discovery: While people understand the espoused values of innovation, learning and change, those that actually change, innovate and learn each day do so because they get, take, and most important-give permission. The permission-giver is one of the most important roles anyone can play to encourage innovative thinking, significant learning and engagement at work. Read this book to learn how you and your friends, colleagues and collaborators can generate more ideas, be more of yourself, and have more fun at work

Описание: Are you ready to make your "mess" your masterpiece? Accomplished publicist, journalist, award-winning podcaster, and speaker Ashley Bernardi opens up about losing her dad as an eleven-year-old and trying to save his life alongside her mother and sister as he suffered from a sudden death heart attack. She ignored the trauma, grief, and guilt from the horrifying experience for years after being told she was "so strong" in trying to save her dads life and attempting to move on. In her 30s, she suffered from a debilitating mystery illness that left her bedridden and unable to care for her three children. It was then, in a state of despair and hopelessness, that she began to feel the pain and "mess" she had been ignoring - her illness, grief, and trauma - and found the true healing and growth that she had been searching for her entire life. For years, she had pushed her trauma aside to maintain a "mask" of strength for others, yet her feelings came out in other ways -- in people-pleasing, alcohol use, in destructive relationships, and eventually, making the devastating effects of her mystery illness even worse. Not So Strong teaches us that our darkest hours are disguised as an opportunity to uncover and process, feel, heal, and grow from our mess, even when society doesnt allow it. In this first book, Bernardi teaches that by taking off the mask of strength and honoring our feelings we will awaken the power within and potentially turn our stories and life experiences into a masterpiece and heal. She interviews the worlds leading experts in health and wellness who offer her healing and hope in her personal journey, and to others in their journeys—a rich collection of top doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, coaches, spiritualists, and others. Readers will learn: Why acknowledging, feeling, and processing your life adversities, aka your "mess", is the ultimate path to authentic and empowered living How to strip the mask of strength that society has told us to wear, and how the powerful act of removing the mask allows us to feel and express our true emotions in order to heal Why we need to ride the waves of emotions, and how to express them in primal ways Why self-care alone wont heal your life How to use the power of hope as a life affirmation Techniques to feel and process your "mess", including breathwork, meditation, sacred writing, art, nature, movement, and Ashleys FEEL Framework This inspirational guide features insights and practical healing techniques from luminaries such as Dr. Habib Sadeghi, author of The Clarity Cleanse, Stanfords Dr. Jamil Zaki, 31-Day Food Revolution founder Ocean Robbins, transformational life coaches Julie Reisler and Malena Crawford, ER physician and renowned climate activist Dr. Courtney Howard, pediatrician Dr. Anisha Abraham, and a special Foreword by Dr. Emma Seppala, Science Director of Stanfords Center for Compassion and Altruism Research Education.
So many children, teens and their families are experiencing painful failures in their relationships as a result of following several generations of bad parenting advice. For far too long parents have tried to innovate and create a new, softer kinder way of parenting their children, only to find that they have created self absorbed, entitled, disrespectful children, who fail to launch into adulthood because they don't have the grit and resilience to make it in the world today. Mia advocates a return to traditional teachings about parenting that we learned from our grandparents and parents, many of which are rooted in Biblical teachings. This is a culmination of her observations about what makes kids successful, and resilient, even in the face of overwhelming obstacles.
