JOIN SARA AND GILLIAN AS THEY DISCUSS THE ART OF VEGANISM
VIDEO
We are on 4 sites and 14 audio and 2 video platforms as seen here.
Gillian’s work experience includes working with women, children and diverse populations in residential addiction treatment, psychiatric settings, elementary schools and private practice.
My counselling psychotherapy practice is based on the idea that body, mind and spirit are interconnected. I believe that our bodies hold the wisdom for our healing and recovery. My approach to mental health and healing is person centered and trauma informed: which focuses on the strengths of the individual rather than the pathology. I use a holistic approach to therapy; one that supports and deepens body-mind-spirit integration, by nurturing the expression of all senses. I draw from Mindfulness practices, Life Span Development, Feminist Theories, Expressive Arts Therapy, Play Therapy, and Somatic Psychology.
Gillian is the creator and facilitator of two Body Mind Spirit Groups.
Peace Up!: Psychoeducational, movement group for Children with Developmental Differences
The Dance of Recovery, Embodying The Steps: A 16 week creative movement psychotherapeutic group for women in recovery.

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Pashta Marymoon, on air from October 2nd
Death Midwifery
CINDEA‘s definition of Death Midwifery
In the simplest sense, a modern-day death midwife is a facilitator, who offers a continuum of direct and integrated guidance and support to the death journeyer and their family throughout a personalized and participatory pan-death process.Although traditionally this role was considered women’s work, today men also serve as death midwives (as they also do as birth midwives).The CINDEA definition seeks to honour and parallel the role of a birth midwife — while acknowledging that the comparable aspects of a death midwife’s role to the medical side of a birth midwife’s responsibilities are presently offered by palliative care nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, etc.
JOIN SARA AND PASHTA AS WE DISCUSS OUR OPTIONS IN CROSSING OVER.
Have you ever had a friend or relative die, and wished you could have kept them at home for a day or two, to take care of the body yourself and say your farewells without pressure? In fact, you can.
Caring for your deceased loved one at home is simpler than it may seem, but certain tasks(including the filing of paperwork) do need to be done at specific times. Embalming is usually not necessary, and in most places there is no legal requirement to make use of a funeral home.
CINDEA is a Canadian-based organization, which respects the wisdom of ancient death traditions and encourages the renewal of older death practices that are appropriate to our modern-day life. In the past, communities cared for their own dying folk; and creatively adapted, that approach to death is still an option available to us. CINDEA ‘s perspective is one of a wide range of initiatives that are drawing our culture into a deeper relationship with nature and the cycles of life and death — the modern version of “a good death” for all involved in it.
We are committed to the unfolding development of the wholistic pan-death movement, including the roles and practices of alternative deathcare. Clarification of these roles, and what they are called, is in its infancy — therefore, we have offered definitions of several alternative deathcare roles, and we support the networking of various kinds of end-of-life practitioners. Our site also provides comprehensive dying and death resources — some conventional, though mostly focused on those that are less well-known.
Pashta MaryMoon is a mother and grandmother, living in Victoria, B.C. Canada. She spent her youth as a social activist and non-violence trainer, and teaching music in elementary schools. Later, she obtained a Honours degree in World Religions (Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), followed by a lay seminary degree (Unity Institute Spiritual Education and Enrichment in Missouri) — as well as training in sexual abuse and general counselling, and working in a Sexual Abuse centre as a volunteer counsellor (where she also dealt with incest and attempted murder cases). With a life-long special interest in the dying process, she visited Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s Shanti Nilaya center in the late 1970s; and as part of her university degree, wrote several essays on the effect of modern death practices on our attitudes towards life.
Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Huesing, on air October 2nd
Scott is back with us to share the overwhelming response to his book Echo in Ramadi where he shares his combat journey and in how it has impacted those that have heard him and read the book. Come hear my last show with Scott here.
Scott A. Huesing is a retired United States Marine Corps Infantry Major with 24 years of honorable service, both enlisted and as a commissioned officer. During his career spanning 10 deployments, he operated in over 60 countries worldwide. Throughout his numerous deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa he planned, led, and conducted hundreds of combat missions under some of the most austere and challenging conditions. Scott is a published author since 2005. His book, Echo in Ramadi, is a ten-month snapshot in time that changed the face of operations on the battlefield; a captivating story of Echo Company, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines during the Second Battle of Ramadi in support of the Multi National Forces (MNF) Surge Strategy in 2006. His true-life account provides keen insights into what may be an unfamiliar world to readers, but very familiar to those, like Scott, who lived it and endured this historic fight. Echo in Ramadi was written to honor the sacrifices and spirit of his Marines and the families they supported – it is his tribute to them and his honor to tell this great story. Readers will feel the pain, emotion, laughter, intensity, and friction that Scott describes in unvarnished detail.
JOIN SARA AND SCOTT AS WE DISCUSS THE IMPACT HIS BOOK HAS MADE.
Scott has written numerous articles and scholarly pieces for The Marine Corps Gazette and Military Times. He has been a technical writer and author to U.S. Marine Corps doctrine shaping the future of training within the world’s most elite branch of service. He is the creative author on writing the standard operating procedures for Marine Expeditionary Units, America’s first response force, with The Lightning Press. Scott is a formally trained instructor and public speaker with 25 years of experience teaching and getting his audiences to connect to the material he presents, both in the military and private sector. He has spoken to audiences as large as 2,000 conveying his thoughts, intent, and goals in order to motivate listeners. Scott’s natural, outgoing style makes him uniquely qualified and talented in communicating and translating his experiences to audiences to connect. With his willingness to share his unique story and experiences, Scott dedicates his time to travel to military bases, NROTC programs, Veterans hospitals, corporate leadership conferences, Gold Star Mothers events, and a multitude of venues to read and share the story of his epic journey and struggles. He is continually sought out to provide Professional Military Education to active duty units to speak on leadership and his combat experiences – and the importance of writing about them. Scott is the Executive Director for Save the Brave Foundation, a certified 501c3 that connects Veterans through outreach to build strength of character – their mission is staying proactive to the needs of the Veterans they serve. He is also the President of the 2d Battalion, 4th Marines Association, a non-profit that helps Veterans and active duty Marines and is the Vice President on the Board of the KD Poynter Legacy Foundation to provide funds and support to all Veterans. Scott currently lives in Southern California with his family.
On Friday July 22nd, Major Scott A. Huesing USMC (Ret), the Bestselling Author of Echo in Ramadiis riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle across the country again for Save the Brave (STB) to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. Huesing (51), the Executive Director of Save the Brave (501c3) began this ride in 2020 to honor his high school friend and veteran, David W. White (aged 48), who died from alcohol poisoning on Sunday, June 7, 2020, in Butte, Montana. Huesing will ride from Bastards Canteen in Temecula, California to Palmetto Brewing Company in Charleston, South Carolina.
During the 9-day journey, Huesing will make several stops to ask supporters to donate to STB and ride along with him on his journey to raise awareness for veteran suicide – emphasizing that these are not statistics anymore, they are friends and sons and brothers that we all know. He’ll be joined by fellow veterans and riders from every state he passes through amidst the heat of July. Their goal – $100,000.
When asked, “Why did you pick July to make this ride?” Huesing responded, “I didn’t pick the month – the month picked me. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to everyone who joins me along the way that maybe we need to suffer a little bit to be reminded exactly why we are riding.” Veterans dealing with depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD are especially impacted by the isolation this pandemic has caused in many cases.
This is a unique opportunity to stay connected as veterans and as communities while supporting a worthwhile charity.
