    Remembering Our Connection with Jacqueline Suskin [episode 104]

    Remembering Our Connection with Jacqueline Suskin [episode 104]

    Poet, adventure guide and ecstatic earth worshiper Jacqueline Suskin shares about poetry and cultivating relationships with the earth and all its inhabitants.
    You’ll also hear about:
    Using poetry as a channel for the earth
    How connected we all are even though we feel alone
    How the power of making things up is our strongest magic as humans
    *****
    Jacqueline Suskin is a self-proclaimed ecstatic earth worshiper, the author of eight published books, all of which center around the earth and its bounty. Currently, she’s focused on bringing her nature poetry curriculum into classrooms around the country and her new book “A Year in Practice – Seasonal Rituals and Prompts to Awaken Cycles of Creative Expression” is available at all major booksellers.  This episode was recorded in July 2021 during her time as artist in residence at Folklife farm in Bayside California. 
     
    In this episode, we talk about:
    Jacqueline’s calling to make poetry more accessible and help people open the door to its transformative possibilities
    How poetry’s ability to condense deep concepts and quickly take us to the heart of the matter is the perfect medium for our era’s shorter attention spans
    Reminding people that we are part of the earth and that to forget this connection is to forget ourselves
    The delight that is possible when we align with the senses
    How deep relationship with anyone or anything involves connecting and communicating on a sensory level beyond language
    The importance of releasing the pressure to have a certain outcome and just responding to whatever the moment requires
    How agenda, outcome and productivity are overvalued by our society at the expense of witnessing and spaciousness
    Magic not having to look a certain way 
    How establishing relationships with the natural elements can allow one to be more spontaneous and less prescribed with their rituals
    Jacqueline’s experience running an artist residency 
    How things can change overnight when we keep showing up in openness and presence, but the amount of time, space, and attention it takes to keep at it can be hard
    Stewarding a sense of self to become more connected with our stories, wounds and joy
    How healing yourself heals everything else – it’s literally all you can do
    Witnessing the shift as we return to more traditional ecological knowledge
    The importance of lying down and letting the earth hold you
    The power of vulnerability 
    Poetry as a mindset and not just written words on a page
    The institution of poetry vs the spirit of poetry
    The importance of continuing to be open and following the signs in your life
