The Subconscious Doesn’t Hear Not
. . . . . . . .
Speaker: Mary Balkon, LMSW, MDiv, is a therapist; a student of psychology, culture and religion; a practicing pagan; and generally a curious citizen of the world. She received her Social Work degree from Western Michigan University in 2008 and her Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School in 2020. Mary taught at C3 once before, in May 2017.
Musician: Mike Ward: Psychosongs, Detroit singer-songwriter, is known for his lyrically-centric, vocally-charged folk songs. Growing up, he listened to the Irish music of his heritage and sang in several choirs before digesting the influential sounds of Simon & Garfunkel, Dylan, Springsteen and John Prine. These days, he finds inspiration in the works of Jason Isbell, Sarah Jarosz and John Paul White.

For the Sake of Yes
It all comes down to yes You’re either in or your’re out, willing or not,
Here or god knows where. It comes down to going out on a limb.
Give the world your name for the sake of yes, I’m coming,
yes, I’ll try that, yes, yes, that feels so good. Let the word no crawl back to its dark hole and starve.
I want yes, eat and drink, yes, breathe the cold mountain air, yes, make love to you under a full moon in autumn.
With yes, nothing is out of reach.
Like a poor god, fallen from the skies,
Conscious again, amazed at being in one piece,
I plan to yes my way back to a heaven of one kind or another.
