BROADCASTING FROM THE EDGE. FOR WOMEN ON THE EDGE.
An edgecast is a broadcast – as audio and/or video – of conversations, interviews, and other material from the edges of modern culture for Edgeworkers.
Radically Alive Women (RAW) Edgecast brings you conversations with courageous Women (and some Men) that are taking a stand for radical aliveness. We are broadcasting from and beyond the edge of patriarchy, mapping the way to regenerative cultures that emerge from initiated adult Women and Men collaborating.
This Edgecast is brought to you by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten and Hannah Abouzahrah, and is powered by Radically Alive Women, a context for empowering radical aliveness in Women (and also Men).

Lydia Violet Farshid-Harutoonian is the founder of The School for the Great Turning, and as such she pledged her life to The Work That Reconnects by Joanna Macy. Beyond that, she stands for Love, Grace, Honesty, and Music.
In this inter-view with Julia Neumann, Lydia Violet speaks about the stand that she is, about The Work That Reconnects, about her Love of being a Woman, her Yes to life and jumping in both feet, and her journey of gaining self-confidence, claiming her own, as well as her challenges in life with depression.
It is a lively conversation, from the larger body of The Work that Reconnects to Lydia Violet’s personal experiences, and everything in between.

INSPIRING. ENCOURAGING. EMPOWERING.
We broadcast these conversations to inspire, encourage and empower women to take courage, be their authentic selves, speak up and take bold action at and beyond the edges of mainstream cultures. When women do that, all life thrives.
Our interviews with women that are making an impact are designed to spark women’s innate power: “If she can do it, I can, too – in my own way”. A rising tide of radically alive women lifts the whole world.
The conversations are made available by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten and Hannah Abouzahrah mainly free-of-charge. The Edgecast is financially supported through a Membership option and donations.
