81. We Belong to What We Long For: Reclaiming Lost Lifeways in the Age of Loneliness - Becca Piastrelli Medicine Stories
-
- Society & Culture
It is through land that we find ourselves. It is through lineage that we return to ourselves. It is through community that we expand ourselves. In this age of disorienting change and fracture, let us wander within our daydreams of another way of being.
TOPICS:
A Western suburban childhood- television, processed food, malls, and fear of nature’s dangers
Evolutionary Mismatch Theory: our human bodies were not made for these times
We are living in the Eremocene: The Age of Loneliness
The medicine of women’s circles and the two questions that should be central to each gathering
The collective yearning for ritual and embracing the awkwardness of not knowing what you’re doing
Repercussions of the Burning Times
We do this reclaiming work for our descendents, knowing we may not reap the fruit of our labors in this lifetime
Listening to what the soul of your home wants
Connecting to lineage with food and folklore
How an offering of food from a stranger saved Becca’s ancestors’ lives
Connecting with our ancestors in Mythic Time: what stories from your lineage are ever happening?
The echoes of the electroshock therapy Becca’s grandmother underwent & how writing Root and Ritual completed an ancestral storyline
Musings on women in the 1960s, twilight births, the rise of consumerism and isolated living
The world we were born into is gone: the end of the Pax Americana and the unraveling of culture and collapse of institutions
We need to grieve as a culture so that we can be responsive to what’s next
Your body is sacred land
Parenthood and postpartum in the modern age
Mothering as ancestral reverence
Calling in energy from unexpected sources
