Living Your Gifts Radio with Susan Hough: Ancient Applications for Modern Times

With the advent of a new year, we move from the Earth element into the Water element of the Dagara cosmology. And they overlap with each during the transition. During this show, we will reflect on the expressions of both the Earth and Water elements as they show up in our psyches and our experiences. How we can make sense of the past year, and what we can set as our intention for the coming year.

Joining me in today’s topic is Jen Hutchinson, PhD and a dear friend.

When I think about community it's when you make a decision that being individual isn’t working. We're in our little individual boxes pretending everything is ok and it's not. This isolation is causing us to be unable to see each other. What’s separated us in life is separating us from one another.

In Western culture, people grieve in private and in isolation. We are expected to “get over” grief and “move on”. Only grief doesn’t work that way. In the Dagara tradition of Burkina Faso, grief is observed in community. They hold grief rituals in which people come from far away to support each other to move through and release individual and communal grief.

In our culture we grieve alone and hold it inside. We are fixers in our culture; we fix it and move on. Only grief doesn’t really work that way. In the Dagara tradition they grieve in community, in fact during a grief ritual people will come from far away to be a part of helping you move through and release your grief.
