Resetting The TableRest as Rhythm, Rest as ResistanceThis is a special episode we recorded on a summer podcast retreat on Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) territory, Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. While resting ourselves, we explore how we can embody rest as a radical and reciprocal practice. We discuss rest as a form of resistance to capitalism and white supremacy, essential to community care and advocating for systemic change, and our own understanding and experiences of rest as a rhythm of life—whether it be napping, building boundaries, connecting to the land, and sacred attentiveness. As we touch on lessons from Black feminism and Jewish shabbat, precursor to the...

Resetting The TableMe, You, and Media RepresentationIn this episode, Céline, Maria and Trixie talk about the importance of representation, the pervasiveness of whiteness in books and stories we read growing up, and the powerful recognition that comes with seeing ourselves in the media. We takedown some tropes and discuss the emergence of Asian experiences and storytelling, including Turning Red, Never Have I Ever, and Scarborough (no spoilers!).

2022-05-2440 minResetting The TableGet Behind Me, White FeminismIn this fiery episode, which builds off our Gender Troublemaking episode, Maria, Céline, and Trixie have a candid conversation about white feminism 101. What is white feminism, how does it show up in everyday interactions and norms as well as society and culture more broadly? How have we experienced and witnessed the harm done by white feminism, historically, and today? In this salty, laughter-filled discussion, we cover the history of white feminism as in league with white supremacy, pop culture examples, and TERFism as a form of white feminism.

In this informal and playful conversation, we cover a range of topics related to gender: basic terminology, gender as a social construct, the gender binary and how it relates to capitalism and colonialism, troubling gender, and the significance (and practice) of using pronouns. We touch on feminism and gender, heteronormativity in the church, and showing up for trans siblings and trans women. Also, Maria comes o...

We talk about embodied learning, blurring Western academic categories, and the role of art & creativity in being-as-knowing. We’re all learners, so even if you’re not in an academic context, we hope you take away something from our conversation.

2021-12-1457 minResetting The TableCan We Talk About Consent?In this exploratory conversation about consent, Céline, Maria and Trixie discuss how consent connects with bodily autonomy, especially in our interactions with one another, and how the lack of consent (societal as well as interpersonal) leads to distrust and disconnection from our bodies. We talk about teaching and modelling consent with kids, choice, communication, and unpack the problematic use of “consent” by anti-vaxxers and the right.

In our first episode, Trixie, Maria and Céline nerd out on music: who we’re listening to, how we can be intentional in our music choices, and paying attention to the songs and messages that musical artists are putting out in the world. We talk about conscious consumption, representation and subjectivity in music, and explore how music can de-centre whiteness and build political consciousness. In our journey to a liberatory faith practice, we also unpack (and rant about) Christian worship music and how it is entwined in bad theology and white eva...

Maria, Trixie, and Céline discuss the necessity of abolition (of prisons, police, and other carceral systems) and the imaginative alternatives gifted to us by the transformative justice tradition.

2021-04-2745 minResetting The TableOn Church, Embodiment & The Gift of Queerness (with Kathy Kwon)In this far-ranging and fluid conversation, Céline, Maria and Trixie speak with Kathy Kwon about church, hybrid identities, living in multiple tensions, the prophetic gift of queerness, and embodied social justice. They touch on many things including the fraught process of finding and making community, looking to the living world to learn change and transformation, and tuning into the work of liberation and justice on the margins of institutional power. We talk a lot about our Christian faith in this episode, so some of the language might get jargony for some listeners. Keeping this in mind, we’ve add...
2021-04-131h 04Resetting The TableOn Anger (After Atlanta)Trixie, Céline, and Maria respond to the Atlanta shootings, especially in embracing anger as a just and generative force “in the teeth,” in Audre Lorde’s words, of racism, misogyny, and white supremacy. We didn’t plan this episode extensively, so the conversation is free-flowing and organic, with some raw emotion. We conclude with a guided grounding practice for our listeners.

2021-03-301h 11Resetting The TableOn Expansive Friendship & Platonic IntimacyIn this episode, Céline, Trixie and Maria discuss the beauty and complexity of friendships, including their own, and explore ways of elevating and celebrating friendships and platonic intimacy. They discuss how we can move away from a relationship hierarchy built on romantic partnership and the nuclear family, and expand our practices of friendship and affection to be more generous, creative, subversive, and abundant. A lot of this conversation was inspired by Mia Birdsong’s book, How We Show Up, but you don’t need to have read the book to dial in (although we hope you eventually do!).
2021-03-161h 13Resetting The TableOn Body Hair & Beauty StandardsIn this episode, Maria, Trixie, and Céline discuss their relationships to their own bodies, and talk body hair, body shaming, beauty standards, white feminism, and problematic definitions of womanhood. They explore how the policing of bodies' presentation is connected to the upholding of the gender binary and colonial racial categories—and how marginal expressions of beauty, culture, and gender can be a form of resistance. Also, there's ranting about purity culture. This episode is a JOURNEY; buckle in!

They also discuss problematic white saviourism as apparent in colonialism (both historic and contemporary iterations), missions, and development work, and re-envision liberatory ways to represent God, Christ, and the sacred, as well as to reclaim cultural practices in decolonizing their spiritual journeys.
