Islands of Coherence is a podcast for people who refuse to go numb.
The world is in freefall - politically, ecologically, spiritually - and most of us can feel it. But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Prigogine showed us something remarkable: when a system is in chaos, small pockets of coherence don’t just survive - they can shift the entire system toward a higher order.
This show is about building those pockets. Each episode draws from spiritual practice, somatic work, artmaking, ecology, and activism to explore a single question: how do we cultivate wholeness - in ourselves, in our communities - while everything around us fragments?

This weeks guest is author, Dismantling Racism Trainer, Yoga teacher, and licensed clinical social worker, Michelle C. Johnson. In this discussion we dive into her most recent book, 'Finding Refuge: Heart Work for Healing Collective Grief' to talk about how we can best embrace our grieving process and learn how to stop numbing out intense experiences. This is a powerful conversation perfect for this time of year when we are encouraged to let go of things that no longer serve us. If you want to keep in touch with Michelle's work the links will be down below, complete with her 'Finding Refuge' Podcast and links to her books.
