54. We are Building Bridges or We are Building Walls.

Welcome to American Fascism 2.0: The Totalitarian Redux.

What do we do?

When I get scared, I remind myself of what is. There are only 2 choices - we are choosing fear or we are choosing love.

It's that simple.

53. We Need Witches in the World

Healing the Witch Wound and encouraging the sharing of Witch Wisdom are (in my journey) the two most important and needed actions on the table for transforming the error in belief that the world is fragmented and hierarchical.

This healing and wisdom sharing hits all points of intersection that spark my joy: Land + Spirit, Ways of Knowing, Re-connection to Roots, Land + Ancestors and a general speaking of Earth and Spirit in tones of Presence and Warm Welcome.

This whole thing that I’m doing is called Beloved Presence for a reason. Because the Presence of Spirit is here. Right now. Not gone. Not separate. Not held apart for later. Here. In the World of Form. Land + Spirit together forever and WE ALL BELONG.

52. Let's Talk about Pretendians

Pretendians are European settlers who take on false Indigenous identity. It comes from wounding. It comes from being cut off from Land and source.

We are called by Land to Belong, but this is not the way.

47. Brandi: Surfing the Quantum Wave

Brandi kept lighting me up with hits on all the things that stoke my fire: Spirit in the World of Form, the Quantum Field, Authentic Soul Expression, Healing, Ancestors... it was a great chat - PLUS, she held space for me to connect to a MAJOR way that I have been sabotaging my own Creation.

43. Dr. Dave is Calling

Dr. Dave is continuing to teach from Spirit and is calling to those on the path of Landback. He has been a big influence on the direction of my learning and his guidance has deepened my understanding and experience of a life lived connected to Land.

Simple suggestions have lead to deep discovery about myself and what is important and true in my life.

If you’re here - you are called to Nii Gaani Aki Inini’s teaching circle.

42. Bogs + Good Native Plants II

What is the meaning of good native plants for a person who's on a spiritual journey?

I talk again today with Bogs, a Mi'kmaq student of Environmental Sociology at McGill University in Montreal. Bogs has started a non-profit in service of Mother Nature called Good Native Plants.

We covered a variety of topics and tangents on this podcast, including the supremacy of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, Animal and Plants as Nations, engaging with and connecting to Passion + Purpose, Native plants as a process to decolonize, plant systems as exemplars of good social systems and so much more.

I really enjoy speaking with Bogs and I hope you do too. Check out their non-profit if you’re looking to re-design your property/spaces to be more integrated and beneficial to the whole of Nature.

41. Bogs + Good Native Plants

Today we talk with Bogs, a Mi'kmaq student of Environmental Sociology at McGill University in Montreal. Bogs has started a non-profit in service of Mother Nature called Good Native Plants.

We talk the difference between Western science and Traditional Indigenous Knowledge and biodiversity as immunity, linguistics + language, and I almost cry because I love the Land so much. We had a lot to share an I interrupted too much.

Also, count how many times I said "interesting" in this podcast, it's ridiculous.

Part II should be up shortly.
