      Grounded: Practicing Presence in Turbulent Times
      Jan 8 2026
      A new year and a new quarter means a new theme for Global Healing Response, and this quarter the focus is presence, and its critical importance in these trying times. We explore what being present really means, why it matters, and suggest some simple tips for staying present and grounded. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we consider the importance of presence for establishing our grounding for the year ahead (the Global Healing Response theme for this year and quarter), we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that we will receive deep insight into what it means to be present, and through such insight and our lived experience, resolve whenever we become distracted to anchor ourselves in the present. Please join us in holding this. Prayers and intentions begin at 32 minutes 7 seconds.

      A Year of Answered Prayer and Intention: Giving Thanks for 2025
      Dec 30 2025
      In our annual look back at intentions we've held through the year, we give thanks for the many miracles and remarkable turnarounds seen in government actions, community resilience and Mother Nature's grace in the wake of the varied emergencies, conflicts and social and political challenges that we've highlighted. Join with us in celebrating and giving thanks for a year of answered prayer. Yes, there's much more progress we'd like to see in many areas, and new fires are starting, but there's much to be grateful for, as this heart-warming round-up shows! Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on progress made in many areas that we’ve held intention for over the past year, we suggest holding as our main intention: We give thanks for the many intentions offered by our listeners that have been answered this year, and will that continued transformative energy will continue to flow to bring blessings for the many we held intention for during the year who are still suffering or who are responding to moments of profound change in their lives.

    • America First: A Strategy to Shape the World

      America First: A Strategy to Shape the World
      Dec 23 2025
      This week we turn our attention to one of the most important policy documents of recent years, the U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy, released earlier this month. As the USA approaches its 250th birthday, we unpack the MAGA worldview and its profound implications both for the US and the world, having influence in a wide range of areas, including the most pressing concerns of our times. The Strategy's America‑First, hemispheric focus, and the policy shifts on migration, trade, defence, and climate that have unsettled allies and highlighted what may really be in the minds of not only the power in the White House regarding geopolitics and the world order, but other major powers too. The likely global impacts are profound. As always, we look where our prayers and intentions may be most needed. Note: we do take an editorial approach for this episode, being ready to offer our own takes (though we keep these brief). Intentions and prayers begin at 31 minutes 15 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we digest the profound implications of the USA’s newly published National Security Strategy, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that, whatever the US believes about the importance of national sovereignty, its leadership, ambassadors and policy makers will be moved to value cooperation with, and remain open to proposals made by, international partners in those areas that require global agreement, including the ever-pressing issues relating to migration, combating crime and climate change. Please join us in holding this. Note: The Monroe Doctrine is a longstanding key pillar of U.S. foreign policy, first declared by President James Monroe in 1823 to warn European powers against further colonization or interference in the newly independent nations of the Western Hemisphere. It essentially declares the Americas as being a U.S. sphere of influence and pledges U.S. non-interference in European affairs. The policy evolved to justify U.S. intervention in Latin America with the so-called ‘Roosevelt Corollary,’ asserting U.S. leadership and opposing foreign dominance in the region.
