Host Rabbi Irwin Keller sits with Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen to explore the influences of her childhood and young life on her lifelong calling as a healer and teacher.

Join us for the third in a series of sacred music celebrations at Commonweal, this time with Manik Khan (sarod) and Nilan Chaudhuri (tabla). Held at the solstice and equinox, the concerts—and gatherings afterward—are designed to bring people together in a convivial setting around music which delights, inspires, and elevates the soul. 

Join Host Cassandra Lynn Ferrera with Rako Fabionar as they share about how they are personally and professionally engaging in place-based liberation work—and how the kinds of wayfinding and inhabited learning they are exploring to grow and deepen kinship might be of service to other place-based and bioregional projects.

Join us for writing, dreaming, and discussion about the earth around us in this culminating event with our 2025 summer visiting scholar Craig Chalquist.

In this conversation with 2025 Summer Visiting Scholar Craig Chalquist, Host Susan Grelock Yusem talks with Craig about how we can approach land with curiosity and how we can work with our imagination to re-envision our relationship with the land all around us. 

In this introductory lecture from Summer 2025 Visiting Scholar Craig Chalquist, meet him, and learn how imagination has been used in various traditions as a source of wisdom and change-making. To prepare for this lecture, bring an example of a dream with some aspect of nature in it. What about this dream inspires(d) you? How has that inspiration changed you?
