Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman is a Plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner specializing in sacred plant medicines for communication and relationship. Believing strongly in the necessity of hybrid medicine to meet the unique challenges of modern life, Yaya is engaged in the continued study of Plant Medicine, Active Dreaming, and Goddess Traditions from around the world as gateways into the richness of direct personal experience of uncurated reality. A Devotee, Artist, and Mother of primarily Taino and Irish descent, Yaya offers multi-dimensional, plant medicine assisted, sex-positive prayer spaces, and healing experiences designed to help you integrate all that you have encountered on your soul's journey and come to live from a place of deep understanding of the way that each of your life experiences has contributed to the uniqueness and potency of your personal spirit medicine. In this episode, Yaya shares her experience of being of mixed descent and the braided blood of the Taino indigenous people. She shares how she's developed a relationship with the land she lives on and how she very much sees being in relationship with the land like being in a romantic relationship. We talk about the cyclical wheel of the year to foster reconnection to nature and how linear time is a tool that can facilitate a certain way of being, but that doesn't necessarily need to be adhered to. And finally, we talk about plant allies for a time of racial uprising and healing from white supremacy and how Yaya has found the medicine of kava to enable her to feel herself in a time when we lose ourselves.

Yaya is a rebirth doula, herbalist, creative director of Active Culture Family, and the co-facilliator of Medicine Mandala: A Green Magic Apprenticeship. Queen of Pentacles is the caretaker.

Medicine Priestess.  Even just saying those words feels so gentle and healing to me and I think gentle and healing is a perfect way to describe my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman.  Erin has been a true plant medicine woman since she was a child and as she explains to us in this episode she comes from a long cultural line of family who have done the same. Erin is particularly passionate about plant medicine as a healing tool for those who have experienced bullying or emotional trauma, and she shares with us the special magic of her off-grid modern mystery school and her hopes, dreams and desires for that for the future.

 In the Intro: Books to live by Mitochondrial meanderings The deep ancestry of all humans In the interview: The sound of the thing you are called by, and choosing a name with multilayered meaning From outcast to leader What being the daughter of an immigrant taught Yaya about communication & self expression When you realize you're magic Making the radical choice to express the way you really feel (that way, if people hate you, at least they hate the real you and not a false impression of who they assume you are) (also, that way, you attract the exact right people into your life) Why dreams are real, our favorite dream teacher/writer, & how to work with your dreams (and nightmares) Fear is never the truth Magic, nature, and layers & layers of ancestral depth ("I feel like I have an intact ancestral identity in a way I didn't even three years ago") Healing chronic pain Sensory overload and how "there's a lot of undeniably magical things happening all the time, but life is loud" Navigating the world as an empath/Highly Sensitive Person A lot of chronic conditions are due to long term nervous system overwhelm Herbal body oiling How a radical diet change healed Yaya's endocrine (hormonal) and nervous system It's good to do things that our ancestors would recognize from their time on earth Shapeshifting mythical archetypes & fields of consciousness Discovering your own relationship with the plant realm   Links: Yaya's website Active Culture Family The GAPS Diet My website MythicMedicine.love Podcast bonuses at Medicine Stories Patreon Medicine Stories Facebook group Take my fun Which Healing Herb is Your Spirit Medicine? quiz Mythic Medicine Instagram Music by Mariee Sioux (from her beautiful song Wild Eyes)

https://tantrapunk.com/natural-family-planning-and-the-nature-of-birth-with-erin-rivera-merriman-tpp133/ In this episode I’m joined again by one of the highest of high priestesses in my life and in the world, Shakta tantrika medicine woman oracle Erin Rivera Merriman. She graciously offers profound green witchy wisdom and insight into to the poorly understood complexities of natural family planning and the nature of birth. Drawing from a multidimensional array of information sources, she helps us to navigate the mystery school that is the sacred womb and yoni temple. We also discuss the often misunderstood iconography of Goddess Kali, and Erin offers a very well ordered interpretation of the fierce, loving, compassionate, and untamed wildness that is symbolized in her more gruesome depictions. A tragic and disturbing incident was also mentioned in the conversation, our prayers go out to the victim of baby monitor hacking.

Become a Patron Today. One of the things I loved most about sitting down to talk with Erin was when we touched on the topic of comparing ourselves to other women. I think one of the deepest wounds that can really be a challenge when stepping into true sisterhood and community is when we get stuck comparing ourselves to other people. It brings us right into the question of wondering, is there really enough for everyone? How can we be so similar to each other, carry a similar mission and still be special and unique? These are just some of the questions we explored in this week's episode. We also discussed our shared journeys of navigating chronic pain and how that relates to being an empath, Erin's definitions of a "starseed" and "priestess" and which plant spirits will guide you into a deeper embodied experience of abundance. "Are people healed? Are people hearing the cosmic song? Are people vibrant and thriving in their bodies? Are people moving joyfully, dancing through their day to the grocery store? No! The job is not done and we need more people on the team!" The universe would not give so many people the same mission unless it was a mission that was so big it couldn't be done by just one person... In this episode we discussed: Erin's journey with fibromyalgia and isolation to finding her place in connection with the land, plant spirits and community When surrender is the most powerful tool Ancestral ties & cycles of the inner Feminine and Masculine The medicine of connecting with sacred land Healing in community Comparison & the limiting unspoken agreements between women Plants as Spirit Guides and which plants will support you to have an embodied experience of abundance The gifts of Kava Erin's definition of "Starseed" & "Priestess" How to have spiritual devotion AND a family Stay in touch with Erin: http://www.activeculturefamily.com Starseed Survival Guide Podcast Follow on instagram @activeculturefamily Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman is a Plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner, Ritualist, Goddess Scholar, Mother and Artist.
