Becoming EarthWise

The Brujeria of Mexico call it the River Beneath the River... The Old Norse call it the Well of Memory... The Navajo call these the Original Instructions given to us by Creator. 

We lean into how we can draw from the Indigenous Psychology and restore a more indigenous and Old World way of learning...  An indigenous psychology opens us to a way of listening and tuning in that weaves us back into relationship with the hidden influences of life.  We remember how to be that part of the song that's missing and in doing so bring wholeness back to the Earth... to the people. 

Join us for our upcoming immersion... Earth Speech... following the traditional trail to what the Navajo call the Original Instructions given to us by Creator.

This episode we lean into the Mystic and Monk Meister Ekhart as he offers a poem that give us clues how to restore our own sense of wholeness and togetherness with the Great Mystery and how we've fallen into amnesia of our own birthright.  We are entering the stories and myths that awaken forgotten knowledge and endangered rememberings.. 

This is an introduction to our immersive journey shared in the Oral Tradition and facilitated in the traditional ways of connecting into the land the Earth's Dreaming.   We''re breaking the enchantments of colonization and remembering ourselves home.

This is an episode from our other podcast called Medicine Story where we lean into what called Soul-Speech... our original language that weaves us back into the landscape and how we're being dreamt by the Earth.... It's an ancestral perspective that informs us of the deeper meanings in our life experiences , why we're here, and where we're heading.

When we can look at our life path through an indigenous lens, we see our life as a journey of initiation, rites of passage, and discovering hidden gifts.  We break free from the colonized psychology that traps us in a self-depreciating loop that binds.  We're breaking enchantments and reclaiming our life.

This is an episode shared in our other podcasts called Medicine Story and felt it relevant for here.

Through the Oral Tradition, we share the story of the Half Girl and lean into how we lose parts of ourselves and the mythic path of retrieving our lost parts and becoming whole.  We touch upon the base of Rites of Passage, Initiation and blossoming into the medicine we can then contribute back to the village. 

This is an episode from our other podcast called Medicine Story and felt called to share it here with you. 

Here we explore what many indigenous elders share "Seek what we seek but don't mimic our practices."  What is it that they seek?  How do we adopt an Earth Psychology to become receptive to these ancestral teachings?

In this first episode we adopt an ancestral and indigenous lens and explore what does it mean to Become EarthWise and live in sacred Belonging with the cyclic movement of life. We're adopting a mythic lens that draws out the hidden meanings within our Earth Walk. 

From traditions around the world and across time, the Spring Equinox was a time to cleanse, to gather together, to focus in on the sacred things and align with how we're being invited to be dreamt into the new hoop cycle of the year.  In this short podcast, we reveal what it's all about and why.

In this podcast Chivito offers a powerful sharing of significant ancestral perspectives of remembering our togetherness within the great web of life.  We explore the mythic language which spirit and nature speaks with and how we may remember how to be in sacred relationship with the greater web of life that's often invisible because we have forgotten how to see, how to listen, and to receive the stories. 

It is said the world is held together by stories and here we explore how to listen into the stories of the forest, ancestors, and the stories speaking in our day to day lives.  Listen in and stir the remembrances within you. 

In Part 2, we explore the etiquette of going into your shadows, how to give offerings, and enter a more receptive state of receiving all they have to offer you.  Be sure to listen to Part one as it reveals the right mindsets to adopt before entering. OM!

In part one, we explore how to approach your shadows in a sacred way.  We explore the right mindsets and etiquette of moving through them and beginning to harvest them so they become a profound new textual layer of you.  

In this episode, we explore an ancestral perspective and cultural mindset of how to ask questions that offers us greater depth, understanding and wisdom. We explore the mind of the Shamanic Scout or Tracker and how they adopt a way of asking questions that can offer us greater incite into our own lives.

This is an introduction to The Dark Descent of Soul and What Shadow work entails. Gather with us at the fire side and through reflective storytelling and deep inquiry we reveal how the story of Persephone, the Queen of The Underworld, may reveal the hidden symbology, stages, and meanings in your own journey.
