How can you be the medicine? How can you reject what the modern world has taught you and, instead, find what you need within yourself? Are you struggling to understand what this phrase even means or where to start? Then join me today for an exploration of this concept of medicine. Together, we'll consider how our modern society is attempting to extract it without acknowledgement and how you can start taking steps to be your own medicine as you begin your journey to radical self-love, acceptance, and healing. I invite you to pause, reconnect, and do the work to find your truth. Let's get started. I'm exploring: How the modern world's approach to finding medicine is missing the point and can lead to greater harm The perspective of an Indigenous woman with a special reading Colonization as a part of the human condition: Why must one conquer? Can there be another way?

Breath work to detach from trying to fix yourself or others, but instead learning about self as you begin your healing journey And more Asha Frost's book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676167/you-are-the-medicine-by-asha-frost/ Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

Each breath is a miracle, and if you seek wholeness, I have a technique for you to try.

As we change, grow and evolve, as we walk our medicine path we often encounter the waters of our trauma and grief. Some of these wounds run deep and need more time to heal but we sometimes cannot see the layers necessary for healing. Sometimes we speak from what we think is a fixed wound but what is underneath is still building up. The lesson here is that life is truly a journey of stages and therefore things take time. Recovering from a wound takes time. Today's plática is one that had been brewing for over six months.The energía that we invite to sit with us in the circle today has many names: awakening, trauma, grief but today we will simply call it a wound. Join me as we revisit this conversation where we talk about the work necessary to identify and heal our wounds. Tune in as I share a technique woven together in indigenous practice to help you: peel back the layers necessary for healing, stop taking on other people's waters and find a path to YOUR healing. I'm sharing: Why it's important to accept the stages of trauma and grief The importance of recognizing that others may be on a different path in their healing journey An indigenous diagnostic tool to help you look at your trauma and grief (even when it is overwhelming) How to use this tool to identify the layers of your wound (and how this can help you focus on your own healing first) Ways that we can learn to approach ourselves and others with mercy, compassion and grace as we walk our healing paths.

Where do you come from? If someone asks you this question, you probably answer with a city. But the indigenous mindset around this question is quite different, and today I want to invite you into a conversation around this way of thinking. Because the way indigenous people tend to relate to themselves—particularly when sharing where they come from— is to answer with what body of water, what mountain, what volcano, or what tree is around them. Not the city. Are you ready to explore your own “I am” consciousness? In this episode I'm exploring: How our family trees differ, as indigenous people The importance of poetry in telling the story of place and people The revolution of land and the largest reclamation that can happen Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

How do you meet life, with all its ebbs and flows? Are you constantly striving to master new things, but full of stress and feeling broken by the challenges that inevitably come your way? What if you approached life with a different lens instead? One of wisdom, of learning, and of wonder, where you could develop a good root system? How then would you be affected by the winds of life? In today's episode, I'm bringing back one of our most popular episodes where I take inspiration from the powerful winds around me to welcome you into another opportunity to sit in the circle together to explore these lessons. Join me as we explore the importance of having a strong root system in your life, crack open and shift the definition of mastery, and invite you to consider a new way of approaching learning, wisdom, and wonder. I'm sharing: A powerful lesson from my youth that has stuck with me to this day What you're missing if you focus always on mastery in life (and what to be careful of when looking to master something) The varying definitions of mastery from different cultures, nations, and people and a new way I invite you to look at it A meditation to help you step into a different way of being that will bring you less stress and more freedom Revisit episode 011: Remembering How to Ground Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

I find it curious that in conversations we are always trying to find common ground to relate. But why do we feel that we need to be relatable in order to be valued? In today's episode I invite you to explore this with me as we challenge the sameness mindset that is so prevalent in dominant society. Let us celebrate the beauty of our differences and discover the profound wisdom and growth that lie beyond dominant culture, instead of fearing it. Today I invite you to find the UNcommon ground around you and to embrace the richness it offers to our lives.

Circle holds everything. It holds differences of opinion and differences of definitions. It holds otherness. But it won't—and isn't meant to—save you. When (generally white) people come to these indigenous circles, in my experience they are wanting to be saved and hoping to be safe. But what are they hoping to be saved from? And what does hope really mean? Join me in today's episode as I bring to this circle some interesting conversations that I've had over the past week around this idea to break down what's REALLY underneath the desire to find safety in indigenous circles, why people look for saviors, and what it ACTUALLY means to be in Circle. I'm exploring: The misguided “great white hope” A lesson from the Lakota around hope that might surprise you What saving really means The #1 thing that I hear people wanting to be saved from What indigenous circles really are and are not The things you will need to redefine as you enter indigenous circles Why you see indigenous circles go to plant and animal kingdoms for inspiration and for healing And a silent meditation to help you acknowledge and face yourself—including the parts that you've been hiding If you'll be in Australia this month (May 2023), I'd love for you to join us for our in-person Ik' breathwork ceremony: https://www.cuatromanosycincovolcanesfarms.com/event-details/ik-breath-work-ceremony-practicing-liberating-connection-usd Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

How many times have you heard someone say they're giving something 110%? How many times have you tried to do that yourself? This is the story about our capacity that we are taught by the Western world; that you must give everything you have—and more—to keep up. But if you're giving your 110% to everything, what do you really have left? Do you want to continue living like you are; exhausted, tired, and overwhelmed? If you're ready to experience life differently, I invite you to join me in this episode as I invite you into Circle to really look at where you're at in the present moment and tap into your TRUE capacity.

The “lone wolf” is often idealized as representing an independent, a free spirit, or a nonconformist. But that is not the lesson that wolves teach us, and it's counterintuitive to many First Nation teachings. In this episode, I invite you to stay curious and playful as we explore this myth, and learn more about what it REALLY means to be a lone wolf. I'm sharing: The American love affair with the lone wolf, and why its westernized interpretation is missing the mark How this idea of the lone wolf has been used and how I use this myth instead My own experience literally getting to be a part of a wolf pack and the lessons that experience taught me Why the lone wolf shouldn't be idealized or be a badge of honor A meditation to help us open our hearts to more possibilities to accept ourselves and understand ourselves a little bit more Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

Many people are fascinated by their ancestry. This concept of ancestry is often defined by bloodlines and can be an opportunity to heal and connect with those that came before us. Many times, people want ancestry because they want to feel like they belong. But what if there was a less human centric way to approach our ancestry? A way to connect beyond the close familial stories that we do or do not have? What if we were to consider the elements as our ancestors? In today's episode I welcome into the circle an opportunity to acknowledge our elemental heritage, to connect with our nature, to heal and evolve. Join me for today's plática where I share more about how to connect with the elements as your ancestors so that you can connect to a greater sense of belonging, heal all these human centric stories and connect with the nature outside of you. I'm exploring: What it means to connect with the elements as your ancestors Why the energy of these elements allows us connect with our ancestors, their traditions and practices How we can learn to connect to the nature inside of us and the nature around us (and what this can teach us about family) Ways that we can access feelings of belonging and our stories of creation through our elemental heritage A nourishing meditation to unite us with our stories and our nature at an elemental level and help us heal Interested in learning more about the imagery mentioned today?

Today I invite you into the circle as we ask it to hold us in this beautiful, intriguing conversation on overcoming, seeking “normal”, and beginnings. But what is the REAL obstacle humans are always overcoming, and what are we losing in the process? Join me for today's episode as I unpack this question.

Humans are dying—both physically and emotionally—because of the state our planet and culture is in at this moment. You probably know this, and feel that change needs to happen. Many people want to heal. But do they REALLY want change? Will we have the courage to take advantage of the beautiful opportunity we have before us? In this episode I'm exploring: One of the greatest things that keeps us from change A reminder that lifestyle changes don't have to be drastic to be effective (even small steps add up!) One of the huge differences between Western culture and Indigenous culture you notice as you enter into this way of beingness The reason people don't want to change What's at stake for the current program and way of being in Western culture to survive The beautiful moment of remembering we are in right now A small meditation to acknowledge the undiscovered realms inside of us Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

It may sound obvious to say it, but: things. take. time. We know this, but at the same time our average attention span is now just 7-8 seconds. (Even shorter than that of a goldfish!) We're used to having things at our fingertips. We want things right now. So should we really be surprised that so many of us are missing out on the depth we crave? Today, I invite you to join me as we redefine what circleness means and reflect on how even Circle understands that things don't happen instantly. What are we forgoing in exchange for the instant gratification most of us now expect? I'm exploring: What makes delayed or deferred gratification so difficult Why people are often frustrated when coming to indigenous circles for the first time The things that have contributed to this culture of instant gratification Two silent meditations to demonstrate how short the human attention span has become Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

But what would happen if you actually invited the energy of overwhelm to speak to you and to be a mirror for where it shows up in your life? Join me for today's episode as I explore the subject, the emotion, and the verb of overwhelm. I'm breaking down where I've seen overwhelm show up in society and how to witness where overwhelm shows up in your life so that you can reframe it and bring in the energia of circle. I'm exploring: The energia of overwhelm: what it is and how it REALLY is being used in life What I learned when sat down with my competitiveness and named it ONE thing you need to do if you are trying to walk a new path or learn a new way Why acknowledging our overwhelm matters and where it can help us The sacred pause: what it is and why it's so important Some lessons I've learned how to be in relation to others in our society A guided meditation to help you witness when overwhelm shows up in your life so that you can name it, feel it, and observe it Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

How many stories did you grow up with that literally were based on the ending of this earth? How many TV shows and movies have you watched where humans are searching for a new planet where they can begin again because Earth was no longer habitable? Humans have been trying to distance themselves from nature for a very long time. Today's podcast is an invitation to get really curious about the idea of beginning again. An invitation to return to storytelling; to get reconnected to mythology. Because I believe it's time we reconnect to the possibility that we are all creatures on this planet. I'm exploring: What we've lost as society has become more “civilized” The effects of humans being separated from nature Why I don't find the climate collapse we find ourselves in surprising The imagery of mythology and why it's so important in this reconnecting How what was taken away from the original people of the Americas upon colonization was so much more than their land What's possible if we connect to our creatureness again The lesson that we as a society have forgotten and how to remember A 2-part meditation to help you reconnect with nature and your creatureness Become a patron of Walking With our Shadow today.

Today, I bring you a conversation where I was interviewed on The Sanctuary, Shamanic Healing Center hosted by Angell Deer, where we went into a deep dive into some of the essence of the medicine path. Beyond and behind the visible or the heart-lifting steps, there are many steps that are much more difficult, heartbreaking, challenging, and humbling. From the deep daily connection to land, the sacred ancient practice of planting seeds, to the radical responsibility and vulnerability, we can find in this exploration we took together some immense and invaluable nuggets of wisdom. In this episode, we allowed ourselves the space to become the medicine, and remember our relationship to time, creation, and the cosmos through the Mayan calendar. We explore fascinating subjects like: Building relationships with the invisible world Learning authentically from the natural world Calling the teacher and what it takes to stay with the teacher Radical responsibility and humility The power of ancient calendars and their roles in our fate and destiny The difficult processes and steps into the Medicine Path The stories of cacao, corn & seeds and their role in our sacred work The deep teachings of Ancient Cosmology And the long process of remembering & forgetting... Our ancestors and who we are are not only in our dreams or in our remembering but we exist as well in the forgetting. Remembering takes time and vision and so all beings have found an example or a system or an observational language they have to relate to the passing of their journey. This spark inspired the creation of calendars as they relate to time, cycles, the cosmos, and creation as can be seen in the lineages of the Olmeca, Maya, Zapotec, Aztecs, and many more mesoamerican cultures. Join us in this exploration, let yourself receive and feel, and let those seeds Marita planted for us grow deep and slow... So you can remember how to forget.

We are here to learn our lessons and we are here to remember our purpose. But first, we must forget. Today's podcast is an exploration of the art of forgetting. Join me as I examine what it is we need to forget and what it is we get to remember. We've been trained to accumulate since birth. We collect knowledge, things, and experiences, but to what end? Why are we here and what are we called to do? I'm exploring: An acknowledgement of community & the greater whole that we are a part of Amnesia at birth: learning as remembering The desperation of a society & its influence to conquer, not steward How can we adjust how we view death & suffering in this world? A time of silence & reflection: What is it that you need to forget and let go of? What is no longer serving you and your purpose? For James, who lived his life unapologetically. May we do the same.

Do you know yourself? Are you using the tools you have to know yourself better? And can you love yourself for all that you are? Tensions are high in many places and there are storms abounding. So, let us surrender to nature and the times we are in as we enter into Circle today, taking time. I invite you to join me today for a look at loving ourselves. We are tasked with having intimacy with self, but what does that look like for you? Do you know what you're working with on an intimate level? Can you recognize and accept your limits? And can you love yourself to death? Let's see… I'm exploring: Giving ourselves time to integrate so that we can know more Death as an opportunity for relationship Questions to ask yourself when looking at your strengths and weaknesses Failure as an invitation to give love and receive love Accepting humanity for what it is and its potential for creation and destruction An introspective meditation: Sit in timelessness, call upon the void, allow breath to be, observe your unknown, and question your capacity to love yourself Sign up for Cacao & Cosmology, starting in March, here: https://www.cuatromanosycincovolcanesfarms.com/maize-cacao-cosmology Connect with me: Website: www.thepathofix.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepathofix/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/thepathofix Courses and Monthly Circles: https://www.thepathofix.com/offerings Learn more about Cuatro Manos y Cinco Volcanes Farms & our cacao here: https://www.cuatromanosycincovolcanesfarms.com/4manos Take the FREE Rainbow Warrior quiz here: https://bit.ly/RAINBOWQUIZ

What does it mean to live authentically? And how does your authenticity differ from mine? Or that of your neighbor's? Today's episode is inspired by and is a response to a recent discussion regarding the authentic life. This isn't about shame, but it is an invitation to look in the mirror and question how you are living your life. From there, you have a choice to continue on or make a shift. So, join me today as we explore with curiosity words and their meaning, the evolution of language over time, and how colonization has affected how we view traditions, people, and medicine, and how all these tie into living your own authentic life. I'm exploring: How to seek the gradient of culture, language & communities Letting go of our grip, embracing curiosity & allowing for a deeper connection within the confusion Authenticity as self-acceptance & self-reflection Colonized consumption & consumerism: What is the alternative?

Today, I invite you into Circle today as we consider and question grief, loss, and grace. We're often told we can do anything, defy aging, and conquer death only to be left with anger when we reach capacity. But the human vessel is not something to escape, conquer, or perfect. Death cannot be evolved beyond. So, how can we approach living and dying with grace and gratitude and with acceptance of the limitations that we, and those we love, hold? I'm exploring: Anger as activation of grief & the pain of misalignment Grief as a misunderstanding of capacity Death as a practice & the use of somatic practices for those preparing to die Silence & stillness for those passing and those who have passed A daily prayer for those entering and leaving this world And more This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Heidi.

Do you feel connected within? Do the separate parts of your being see each other, hear each other, and know each other? Are they working together as one? Or are they in conflict, fighting for attention and independence? In continuing the conversation of biodiversity and regeneration, this week we turn to collaboration. Within this meditative episode, there is time to pause and connect to self. We'll question self-sufficiency and sustainability. We'll discuss the biodiversity within you and each of your parts as well as the biodiversity within nature. Join me for this exploration of self. Let's see how we can live as one whole being, not disjointed nor disconnected. And from that, let's learn how we can collaborate with other beings, with nature, leaving wisdom at the door, and opening ourselves to opportunity, creativity, and wholeness. I'm exploring: The disconnect with sustainability: What has this come to mean? A visual exercise with you at center, examining the ecosystems within The purity & rawness of nature & the reflection it gifts us Practices to deepen your relationship with Mother Earth & where to start If crisis in the world reflects an inner crisis within us A co-creative meditation: noticing & observing what comes, acknowledging the biodiversity of experiences, connecting each of your parts while honoring singularity to create an environment of collaboration, moving from co-existence to co-creating Listen to the latest episodes on Biodiversity here: An Introduction to Biodiversity: https://www.thepathofix.com/podcast/episode/2b92ca6c/an-introduction-to-biodiversity Remembering Relationship: Regenerative Biodiversity: https://www.thepathofix.com/podcast/episode/1f5c759a/remembering-relationship-regenerative-biodiversity Connect with me: Website: www.thepathofix.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepathofix/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/thepathofix Courses and Monthly Circles: https://www.thepathofix.com/offerings Learn more about Cuatro Manos y Cinco Volcanes Farms & our cacao here: https://www.cuatromanosycincovolcanesfarms.com/4manos Take the FREE Rainbow Warrior quiz here: https://bit.ly/RAINBOWQUIZ

Can you actually live in relationship with the land you live on? Today, I come to you as a steward of the land and I welcome you into a continuation of the conversation on biodiversity. In this episode, I'll take a closer look at regenerative agriculture. This is not a TED Talk, my friend. It's an invitation. It's an opportunity. It's a call for something more, something deeper. Join me for this enlightening exploration of this highly relevant topic and discover how you can become a co-creator of biodiversity. I'm exploring: Regenerative agriculture: What is it? What does it involve and require? Who does it support? Why regenerative farming is an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions How we have created economies that support the death of soil What it means to take responsibility for your impact on all that is around you Why this topic is relevant now, yet is far from a new discovery How regenerative agriculture relates to climate change A guided meditation: sit with the land and the soil inside of you, connect to the ancestors, access the great intelligence within, connect mind and body, bring in the breath of life Listen to last week's episode, An Introduction to Biodiversity here: https://www.thepathofix.com/podcast/episode/2b92ca6c/an-introduction-to-biodiversity Check out Kiss the Ground documentary here: https://kissthegroundmovie.com/ Read Eleanor Greene's article, “Native Growers Decolonize Regenerative Agriculture” here: https://www.greenamerica.org/native-growers-decolonize-regenerative-agriculture Connect with me: Website: www.thepathofix.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepathofix/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/thepathofix Courses and Monthly Circles: https://www.thepathofix.com/offerings Learn more about Cuatro Manos y Cinco Volcanes Farms & our cacao here: https://www.cuatromanosycincovolcanesfarms.com/4manos Take the FREE Rainbow Warrior quiz here: https://bit.ly/RAINBOWQUIZ
Has our desire for safety and predictability left us without creativity, without wildness, and without a taste for diversity? If so, how did we get here and what can be done about it? What steps can you take in your own life to embrace diversity? On today's episode I invite you into a conversation around biodiversity in the world, in nature, and in yourself. I'll look at how systems and rules are created to control and limit people and their cultures, and where that's left us. It's an important discussion, one that has been building for weeks, years even. So, let's get into it. Let's see where we're lacking biodiversity, why we need it, and how you can use your impact, your observations, and your own wildness to build it up.
