On Belonging
an audio series to connect us
Joyful Threads Presents:
On Belonging: an audio series to connect us, part conversation and part storytelling, hosts carla joy bergman and Jamie-Leigh Gonzales ask their guests to explore why so many of us are feeling called to find a deeper sense of belonging, whether with our ancestors or to the land where we live, and beyond. In the many landscapes across the world, each of us walk pathways that take us to the edges of possibility, finding belonging and collective thriving along the way.
On Belonging will explore finding belonging as a way of not only healing ourselves, but healing relationships with each other — of connecting with our lineages, but also connecting across difference, including at times beyond bloodlines.

Each episode is a dynamic blending of the guests’ story or conversation with music, soundscapes, and poetry.
This timely work is done in resistance to the pernicious and ever-present impacts of white supremacy and colonialism. With this show, we are having deep conversations about our personal journeys in a way that connects us — resisting the cult of individualism, and resisting nationalism and the way it feeds fascism.
Part of finding belonging is also about tuning into who we are with in this time and space, making kin across our differences, celebrating the now.
