Two Sonic Boom Awards

I completely forgot to post about the two Sonic Boom awards I received for "Stumbling Upon Moksha".

The first was for "Best Early Morning Show" which is cool considering CKMS now has the 6 a.m. shift completely covered during the week.

The second was for "Most Reliable Volunteer" which I suspect goes to those who are forced to call campus police to let them into the station when the key wouldn't work. (I only lost 22 minutes due to the ordeal!)

So thanks to everyone who either threw in a good word, invented one or both of these award categories, or supported me in SOME way. And thanks also to those noble souls out there who have inspired me to explore more broadly and dig that much deeper into music. Your gift is what keeps me breathing, I swear :)

Attention "Stumbling Upon Moksha" Listeners... including everyone who has even thought about tuning in, but for technical, logistic or psycho-emotive reasons have been unable to:

CKMS-FM --also known as "Radio Waterloo"-- is holding their annual Pledge Drive from Wed. Oct. 24 to Tue. Oct. 30!

All of us volunteer programmers are encouraged to earn a minimum of $100 each for the station, which can come from just about anyone, including:

• People who actually tune in my show Tuesdays from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.. (Ya... all five of you!)

• People who at least support the spirit of community radio, and want to see it thrive. (There must be TONS of you out there!)

• Friends or family members who are sympathetic to my mid-life excursion into community radio and want to say something like: "you go girl..." (?)

Here's how YOU can show your support:

a) by calling CKMS during my show on Tuesday October 30 with your pledge of support. 519-884-2567. (There are incentives and I will mention your name!)

b) by emailing me before the show so you can sleep in, ignore the show, but still feel good about yourself. (I will still pretend you are listening and mention your name on the air.)

Here's how you can actually pay:

The best way is to donate online, by visiting this link: http://www.ckmsfm.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192&Itemid=137

If you do donate online, PLEASE let me know so I can keep track of things and mention your name. And PLEASE mention my program (Stumbling Upon Moksha) in the "message section" so I get credited with the funds. Since mine is a new show (not to mention an early morning show) it's a bit of a challenge making quota. But I have faith. Even if you can slip five bucks sometime, I and everyone at CKMS would appreciate it. :))

Oh! And since CKMS is a registered charity, you can get tax receipt :))

Also, in lieu of a receipt you can qualify for any number of cool incentives!. Just ask and I shall let you know what's available. :))

Finally, don't forget to check out a complete listing of special Pledge Drive Events during the campaign by visiting this link:

On behalf of CKMS, I thank you in advance for supporting Campus and Community radio here in Kitchener-Waterloo!

Be real, choose true and give everything you've got:

Consider for a moment, the place
Where idealism and realism meet,
Where our bold and shameless desire for the "good"
Is no longer separate from the realism
Of accepting what is immediately before us.

This place is now,
And now is the time to get real,
Choose true
And give everything we've got.

If we are only idealistic
And give no thought to what's real and possible here and now
Then we're only dreamers with our heads in the clouds.
But what's even worse is to abandon our ideals,
In the name of "getting real",
For this leaves us cynical, bitter, and reluctant to do anything.

Nowadays, it may seem cool to be cynical,
But this attitude ends up killing our passion and thus
Our power, to live freely and effect change in our world.
After all, our desire for goodness, wholeness, and truth
Is actually an evolutionary pull
Towards a fuller expression of what-is
Not a different one.

Accepting MORE of what-is
Is actually freedom itself,
The freedom to be fully, here and now.

So be real, choose true and to give fully
From this truth NOW.
This is what creativity is all about.
It's also what life is all about
Should we choose to live it consciously.

~Katie

Personal Introduction: Coming Out "Integral"

Seeing as my "E-blogger" profile needs to be contained to 1200 characters or less, I thought I would indulge myself by posting the expanded form as a blog.

I am the owner/manager of a Kitchener based recording studio and media replication house called Studio A-Mirador. I am also a new host a community radio program on CKMS FM 100.3 in Waterloo called "Stumbling Upon Moksha". For me, it's become an exciting extension of something I have always loved to do: share the music I love and celebrate its powers to inspire and transform people's lives. It never ceases to amaze me how many people use music to dislodge themselves from the patterns of their workaday mind and surrender to something deeper, something personal, but also transpersonal; and therein, lies music's real power, I feel anyway.

In the mid eighties, I began my undergraduate studies at the University of Waterloo and was lucky enough to be able to study music within a context of other arts disciplines, including my other passions: philosophy, psychology and religious studies. In my final year I was introduced to music expression theory and later went on to study it more deeply through a graduate program in Music Criticism at McMaster. My thesis topic was-- get this-- was "A Critical Examination of Expressive Content in Mahler's Ninth Symphony." Yes... I was one of those intense sorts that would groove to Mahler for hours at a time, searching for ways to explain how profound his music was to me, especially his ninth symphony. To me it pointed to a reconciliation of life amidst the inevitably death, not surprising words about a composer described in the 20th Century as the first musical existentialist. (A-hem.... Did I mention I was intense?)

Unfortunately, the longer I chased my understanding of these truths academically, the more the magic began to allude me. I mean, the mere fact that I had to propose an actual defense of expressive content points to how deprived the Humanities in the early 90s were of a way to inter-relate the inner and outer dimensions of any discipline. Music was just one of them.

Fortunately, about a decade later, I stumbled upon the work of Ken Wilber whose "Integral" model does just that: it proposes a way to reconcile the interior dimensions of being with their exterior or manifest counterparts. It also addresses other seemingly opposing perspectives (like singular versus plural), along with the often neglected perspectives of first, second and third person. In a nutshell, Wilber provides us with the first truly integral model of reality-- in other words, a really good map of the manifest world. And think about it: if you want to explore reality, or escape from its prison, what you first need is a really good map.

So I encourage everyone to explore his work and his Integral model as deeply as they can. But don't worry; the pursuit need not remain purely theoretical. In fact, things get particularly exciting when Integral thinking is applied to expressive and practical disciplines, like culture and politics. There's no limit to where an intelligent, purposeful study of reality will take us. All I know is you don't have to believe anything. Just check it out and try it on first hand. You'll know the truth when you feel it and your beliefs will be little more than temporary containers for your fading doubts.
