“Flourishing Kin: Loving the World in Complex Times”
with Dr. Yuria Celidwen
Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time
Our world faces crises that require a focus on community and planetary health and well-being. Still, the Western emphasis on individual self-improvement has resulted in mental health struggles leading to isolation and environmental exploitation. How can Western and Indigenous sciences work together to recalibrate current practices in the service of global well-being? Dr. Yuria Celidwen shares insights from her recent book Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Wisdom for Collective Well-Being to cultivate sustainable collective well-being. Through poetic expression and authentic truth-telling, Celidwen invites a path that meets the world’s complexity with reverence and joyous participation in the flourishing of all living beings.
“From Indigenous scholar Yuria Celidwen comes a first-of-its-kind book about our aspiration for sustainable, collective flourishing through Indigenous wisdom, traditions, and practices that bridge Indigenous and Western knowledges and ways.”
Yuria Celidwen, PhD: I am a native of the Indigenous Nahua and Maya Bats’il K’op lineages from the cloud forests of Chiapas, Mexico. I am of Earth; my heart is on fire. My family comprises mystics, healers, poets, and explorers of the soil and the soul, embodying life’s strength, tenderness, and fragility. I grew up with one wing in the wilderness and another in the magical realism of Indigenous dreamlands and stories. My elders’ songs enthralled my childhood, enhancing my mythic imagination and emotional intuition: the fertile Lands where the seeds of reverence, play, and wonder dig their roots. I am a Truth-bearer, trickster dreamer, and culture-shifter. As a scholar, I research Indigenous forms of contemplation and the transcendent experience embodied in prosocial behavior (reverence, ethics, compassion, and a sense of awe, love, and sacredness). I refer to my broader research statement as the “Ethics of Belonging,” which encourages awareness, intention, and relational actions toward planetary flourishing and a path of meaning and participation rooted in honoring Life.

Finding Ourselves “In Our Right Minds”
with Dale Allen
Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time
Facebook Live Promo Interview on 5/22/25:
“The way Dale educates is entertaining and so evocative that it bypasses the left-brain, over-thinking part of ourselves, and instead, we are touched in a very direct, very impactful way.” –Vicki Noble
Dale Allen has for 25 years shared the healing energy of the sacred feminine through her work: “In Our Right Minds,” which has been widely acclaimed at universities, conferences, corporations, theaters, and expos across the US, Canada, from Kauai to Dubai, the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and the Parliament of World Religions. Her new book of the same name, is an Amazon International Bestseller, and the film version has been awarded in 19 Independent Film Festivals worldwide.
“In Our Right Minds,” the film, is”a sweeping journey covered efficiently and clearly,” that in short order judiciously illuminates the history and relevance of the Goddess archetype, as well as its connection to our right-brain intelligence. “In Our Right Minds” garners praise for being well-researched, organized, clear, level, balanced, without blame, and inclusive of all the human family. Dale also presents “In Our Right Minds,” for book clubs, film screening events and as a 6-week course. The Dale Allen Podcast ranks in the top 10% globally. Learn more here!
In this Scholar Salon with Dale, we talk about the many creative ways in which Dale has shared the sacred feminine and the wisdom of the right brain via theater, film, songs, art, humor, and poetry. Be inspired on your own creative journey with this fun and informative salon!
While this Salon is not a film screening event, you can see the film anytime at https://www.inourrightminds.net/
“In Our Right Minds,” lovingly lifts-up the feminine to restore humanity’s natural balance… coherently and elegantly synthesizing psychology, history, myth, anthropology, sociology, art and poetry into an eye-opening and life-changing alteration of our perspective and path forward. Dale is honored to share and promote the many seminal scholars listed in the bibliography of her book “In Our Right Minds” through her creative offerings that uniquely bring powerful information and energy to audiences worldwide.
“After watching your ‘Mom’ character, I can’t stop laughing. This is 100% my life. I have been told that a boss needed ‘more of [my] time. Don’t I have someone to watch [my] child.’ Funny enough, that person had lived with me for several months and saw firsthand what I went through.” (Kirsten)
“So inspiring!!!!”(Tamis)
“I love the idea of Someday Isle! I think I have spent a lot of time there.” (Sid)
Dale Allen is a veteran of corporate, commercial, and creative communications. Her extensive resume includes hundreds of voice-over, on- camera, theater and live presentation projects. Described as having the energy of “a Cape Canaveral lift-off,” Dale thoroughly engages and inspires her audience, which ranges from highly educated corporate leaders to teenage girls seeking their place in the world. “Dale’s warmth, empathy and knowledge inspires the wisdom within each of us. That seed is encoded with an intelligence, and we are each its sacred gardener, necessary to futurize our world.”
