We love how much understanding he has, how much compassion he has and how much wisdom he has. The second interviewee is a former client who then became a staff at farnum - and you get to hear from his journey through addiction, what he has seen about the mind, and how he now can help others learn what he did.

Interview: Overcoming addiction by realizing your mental health!

This is a the first interview we did with participants of the Farnum Center Program in Manchester NH. (To hear more about what this is about, listen to previous episode with Mara and Eirik) In this particular episode you hear from 4 of the clients who have gone through a period of learning about their own mind and their own innate resilience and health - and how that has helped them get sober and stay sober. We were so impressed by the wisdom these guys shared, and what they have learned and how they wanted to pay it forward and help other people struggling with Addiction. 

Hear them share both their personal stories, aswell as their hope for a better future for the world. We love how they shared that learning about their minds not only helps them with addiction but with a persons whole life. EVERYTHING gets better when we feel better. 

Enjoy! 

The cure to addiction and all other coping mechanisms

In this podcast, we(Eirik and Mara) are fresh of the boat at a 3 day visit at the Farnum center in Manchester,NH. Here is what they do:

The Farnum Center help people realize their own inner health by coming to an understanding that every human being has a healthy internal core that is fully accessible to them. Everyone has inner resiliency and the ability to bounce back and overcome adversity when we gain perspective of what gets in the way.

Their clients learn about your innate capacity for health, insight, and contentment. You will also learn how accessing a healthier perspective about your life will help you leave your past behind.

We will guide you through your journey from the day you enter our program until you are ready to leave. Working as a team, you will reclaim your life from addiction to alcohol and other drugs, and become a happier and more positive person.

Now, if that doesn't already convey how awesome this center is, we can vouch that it is! In this episode you will hear us dissect some of the insights we gained around addiction, and how that plays into all other "symptoms" we see in the world right now.

What we find especially hopeful about their approach to helping people with addiction is:
- They look for the health and wisdom in the person, not for what's wrong. 
- They teach them about how their mind creates their world, and therefore how they can go beyond the situation and circumstance around them. 
- They teach them how the mind works in such a way that they don't get put off by bad feelings, and therefore don't need to do the drugs or alcohol to help them deal with it. They are able to deal with it internally, by not being afraid of their experience. 

We feel like this nuggets are HUMAN nuggets, that any human can see more about, and will help everyone in the world. If we all just saw more of those points, we would live in a different world. 

We hope you enjoy this first introepisode from the two of us - and as we mention the next ones from Farnum Center will be from the staff and clients themselves!!

Women could't use credit cards! - A talk about thought and world change

This podcast is a throwback to the One Solution conference that was held in Oslo in may 2016. This is a short ted-style talk that Linda Pransky did, and we love it! She is a dear friend, collegeague and we love both the simplicity and profoundness she talks about how one person changes is the same way the whole world changes. 

About the talk:
Thought produces the apparent limitations of the mind, which are also the limitations of the world. There are deeper solutions within the mind that allow us to transcend these limitations. In this talk, Linda will discuss how an understanding of the nature of thought and our mind releases these resources into the world. Hear her make the connection between personal limitations, and global limitations, and how they are the same process!

EMOTIONS + GUNS = VIOLENCE with Dajohn and Raekwon

The rebels for peace are back in the studio - and this conversation is REAL. Dajohn and Reakwon share openly about their past, how it was growing up in Chicago, and the challenges that face the city they love so much. We asked them to hold nothing back, and got a great combination of the reality of the street and a hope for a new future.

Here are some of the thing you will hear about in the podcast.

You will hear how it was growing up Chicago, and how youth deal with that. 
How the taking guns off the street will NOT solve the problem of violence. 
What it takes to impact millions of people
How totally ending all types of violence might not be possible, but EVERYONE can do something to decrease it. 
Why looking at the MIND is the true gamechanger in changing communities 
How the Rebels are inspired to make the change that THEY want to do, without the agenda of schools, organizations or other adults. 
Hear them talk about a video-exchange the rebels had with incarcerated inmates in Portland that Anna Debenham(previous podcast) was leading - and what impacted them about learning from people who had seen first hand both going to prison, and finding a new path after prison.

People are not broken - with Anna Debenham

This podcast we have Anna Debenham, founder of the Insight Alliance with us - and this conversation will totally inspire you and give you hope for humanity and peoples potential to change!

Anna works with the incarcerated or previously incarcerated to help them with their current situation and find a new better future. She does that in a new and sustainable way: By looking at the mind. In a very human, common sense way she helps facilitate  the unlocking of peoples minds and point towards the resilience within them. The result is they increase their wellbeing, mental health, and make different choices either while still in prison or when they get out. She explains that the only thing that truly can make somebody change is an internal shift - and that is what all her work is about. To check out more from what she is talking about, check out this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv7lMMdBCYE

In this podcast you will hear stories about her own journey of doing this work, aswell as examples from her students in prison. This is the solution to truly rehabilitating and preventing, and looks for peoples mental health. 

About Insight Alliance 
The Insight Alliance uncovers the natural resilience and innate mental health all human beings already have inside them. It teaches a simple understanding of how our feelings, experience and state of mind works; an understanding that enables people to thrive in any circumstances.

Prospective outcomes of programs include a decrease in stress and depression; improved relationships, increased feelings of connection and trust, reduced levels of obsessive and judgmental thinking; increased desire to access education/jobs; a decrease in the probability of recidivism and/ or relapse and generally feeling more of their natural wellbeing.

About Anna Debenham:

My passion for nurturing health, wellbeing and resilience in myself and my clients reflects my own expanding grasp of the infinite possibilities of life that supports a peaceful and balanced state of mind.

The depth and breadth of my experience ranges from being part of a multi-disciplinary healing and support team for at-risk boys at the London organization, StreetWise Youth; establishing an outpatient program for a drug and alcohol recovery centre in Melbourne, Australia; to working as a coach and facilitator for Westminster council in London.

My career shifted when I came across this groundbreaking way of helping people understand the principles behind our state of mind. My experience working in a UK prison with Beyond Recovery ignited a love of helping those incarcerated and those transitioning to their freedom. Now I bring all my experience together as Director of The Insight Alliance.

The Insight Alliance is partnered with the YWCA as we expand to Coffee Creek woman’s prison and SCI in Salem. The programs continue to grow by word of mouth and by post-release individuals that stay connected to and work with the Alliance. The organic evolution of The Insight Alliance demonstrates the boundless potential and creative possibility of inspired people, and the wonderful power of fresh thought.

 

Creating the Impossible with Michael Neill

We are REALLY excited about this one!(I know, we always say that, but seriously, we are!!)

We have our dear friend and colleague Michael Neill as our guest and the theme for the interview is:
How do we make the invisible visible, and the impossible possible. It’s filled with insights and reflections about how the process of creating something happens(or as the tagline of Michaels book says: taking stuff out of your head and putting it into the world) and how something that seems impossible can switch into something do-able.

We experience this process all the time, and constantly learn to see beyond our imagined limitations and through the walls of what is «possible» for us personally, as One Solution, and as the world. The good news for us all, however, is what Michael shared in the conversation: «You don’t need special skills to go through an imaginary wall»

That means that we are literally a blink away from new opportunity. Because although we know that the mind creates imaginary LIMITS, we also have first hand experience in the magic, or dare we say miracles, that can happen when those limits evaporate.

Here are some highlights of what we talk about:
- How to create something when we don’t see how. (Hint: it turns out looking for HOW is not where «it’s at» when it comes to STARTING.)
- How do we move forward when we do see what  we want to do and how, but we’re still stuck even before we start.
- How progress looks WAY different than the way we think it will look.
- Maneuvering failure, plateaus, doubt, fear, obstacles.
- How global solutions is not going to come from doing MORE or working harder, it’s going to come from something NEW.
- And much much more!

If you enjoyed this, we would REALLY appreciate it if you rate and review our podcast, it really helps us fool the Itunes algorithm and get infront of more people! :)

The link between Thongs and Global Change(Q&A-session)

We looove Q&A. 

It let's us rethink what we think we know and even what humanity knows, and try to get closer to something valuable and true. If you ever wondered what the link between capitalism and thongs, this is the podcast for you. We dive into how much of the world really is just thoughts we have made up, and made real over time. And how the only way to have a new world is to dramitically RETHINK the world we have created. 

We live in an ocean of assumptions, stories, collective imagination and with all the moving parts of the world, it's hard to navigate what's real and what's not, what's helpful and not helpful, whats seems good for us NOW vs whats whats good for the planet for the next 500 years and beyond. And we live in the effect of our thinking wether we like it or not. 

These are some of the questions we use to fuel the discussion in this podcast  

1. How can you say there is ONE solution when there is so many complex problems?

2. Whats the link between the personal problems and global problems

3. How do we make people care about the world? It seems people just care about themselves and whats around them and have trouble looking at the big picture and whats best for the planet and the people of the world as a whole.

We really get into these questions and hopefully can point to something new for you as a listener. So grab a cup of tea, or put your headphones into your ears on the tube and enjoy!
