Unwind Rewind 89 Who’s gonna stand up?

Hi friends, Welcome to Unwind Rewind on IDC International Radio or on any other platform you found me and wherever you are in this world…I’m glad we are together today for an hour about speaking our truth, expressing our voice… Engaging and standing up for our beliefs… Also to express some anger… The oppositions between vaccinated and unvaccinated people and its link to upcoming elections in Israel… The impact on our children and the educational system… Political opinions and personal preferences without judging or changing our feelings and respect for the others… All of this musically accompanied by songs of protests, of change, of justice… And as always to end with Friendship, Awareness, Connection and Love… Shalom, Marilyn

Unwind Rewind 87 Healing is feeling

Healing doesn’t mean arriving at a place where you feel happy all the time. Healing means arriving at a place where you no longer judge your emotions and therefore you no longer resist them. Self mothering anchors you with the inner resources confidence and compassion to turn toward your emotions and feel safe to express them‘ Shaelyn Cataldo

Unwind Rewind 77 ‘The wind of my soul’

Today we listen to the wind of our soul. We express our anger, sadness and confusion ahead of Israel’s second lockdown. We feel the music of the south, of the gut, of the heart. We think and discuss Jewish Rosh Hashana and the high holidays ahead during this pandemic… May we all resume our routine as fast as possible… We love routine…. Routine is good….

Wishing you all a happy & healthy New Year 5781. Shalom
