  • A Hunger for Wholeness

    The results of the Cherrystone study describing the science of the effects of trauma on DNA passed on to the 14th generation has been known and mostly ignored. This podcast illustrated how the human body develops its unique sensitivities from the basic need for survival. These characteristics are encoded in the DNA. What this podcast does so clearly is to connect the dots from indigenous people and self healing to modern life that uses pseudoscience that deepens the trauma rather than healing it... more

  • Irresponsible Platforming

    My heart breaks noticing the title of this podcast and then witnessing the platforming of disinformation. This is not nonduality. This is not love and compassion and healing. This is spreading information that is leading to more death and destruction of indigenous people while wearing the costume of being awake. It’s sad to see.

  • Great speakers!

    I knew of some of the guests speakers, and now have learned of so many more. This is one of the only spaces that are doing “the work” without spiritual bypassing injustices and incorporating indigenous voices. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Medicine in Our Wounds: Liza Rankow
Q: Could you talk about soul care versus self care?
Soul care focuses on connecting with something larger than ourselves, while self care has become commodified and often focuses on individual pampering.
Medicine in Our Wounds: Liza Rankow
Q: What is the medicine in our wounds?
The wound represents the collective pain caused by societal issues, and the medicine is the healing responses that arise from it.
Consciousness: Tiokasin Ghosthorse
Q: Why does environmentalism not work?
Environmentalism often operates out of a mindset of control and extraction; true understanding comes from learning with the earth rather than about it.
Consciousness: Tiokasin Ghosthorse
Q: How do we stay in conversation with earth in our daily life?
There is no instructional manual, just allowing earth to show you and educate you through consciousness.
Indigenous Ways of Knowing: Dr. Leroy Little Bear
Q: What does well-being mean from a Blackfoot perspective?
Well-being is connected to relationships with the land and the community, framed within a larger understanding of time that is not dictated by the clock.
