Parenting can lead us to a threshold in life we hadn't known before. We're bringing into the parenting dynamic with our kids the momentum of our previous experiences - our resources and resilience, as well as our disconnection and disembodiment due to trauma (individual, familial, cultural, historical & intergenerational).  Beyond the challenges we face to parent in ways we may not have been parented, there is a deep love for our children that wants to be expressed and known in presence with them. There's also a yearning in us to experience that deep love ourselves; to feel our power and to live authentically, just as we yearn to protect that for our kids, too. The urgency to heal what's still alive within us might come up with a force because of them, and yet it's ultimately a reclamation of our life force, vitality, joy, connection and creativity we're most hungry for. It's sometimes a desire bold as love that fuels our courage to meet what we fear to face.Â

    The Cosmic Shift: On our relationship w/planets & stars

    Friends, this is the first episode for a new podcast called Tending the Roots, which is adjacent to what lives here. It reflects the conversations and explorations of the Rooted Global Village. We attempt to bridge the personal and collective in our reach towards healing (wholeness) and personal and collective liberation. We also have an exciting summer project we'd like to invite you to join! www.rootedglobalvillage.com  I grew up looking into the night sky and the heavens above me.  Without concepts that defined the movement of planets and stars, or the mathematics to describe them, I would orient my head and neck upwards, captivated by the beauty of this cosmic mystery stretched out above my head. So expansive that it would take my breath away.   For those of us who have been sold a narrative that there is only one way we can be in relationship with the heavens, only one way to make sense of it through Western scientific knowledge, we may have a disconnected sense of this vital connection. Much like a muscle that's atrophied; it's been neglected and underused for important reasons. Many of us have been force fed what scholar Arturo Escobar calls the "One World Story"; a story that has also attempted to eradicate other stories about who we are and our place in the web of life.   This episode reflects one point in a journey that we've been on for a while now in Rooted, tracing an arc of exploration as it relates to how we might begin to reimagine relationship and belonging.  Here we consider how we might begin to enliven the seen and unseen strands that connect us to a broader web of relationships.   This summer in Rooted, we're embarking on a project centered on rekindling a relationship that for many of us has been flattened; reduced to a specific thing that can only be known by experts with advanced degrees. We will reclaim the fullness of an experience of kinship. Let's infuse this muscle of kinship again through shared practice, storytelling, and art-making. We are bringing our full bodies to play with Venus this summer. Our friend, Bear Ryver, has referred to these celestial bodies as our cosmic ancestors. I am giddy with excitement for the journey and hope you might join us!

  2. Embodying the Soulful Chainbreaker - Part 4: Cycles of Fire: Imagination and our Maps

    Embodying the Soulful Chainbreaker - Part 4: Cycles of Fire: Imagination and our Maps

    On our own, the desire born from the challenges we've faced can be a powerfully transformative force in our lives.   Our personal embrace of the Soulful Chainbreaker becomes a cultural force when we gather together, commune, share stories, and support each other to commit to and sustain the journey.  We do not disrupt and re/orient within a vacuum, other beings dedicated to this process become our co-conspirators and co-creators of new experiences and new future(s).   Rooted in the experience of our non-separation we might find greater access to our creative life energy and imagination to become newly oriented in the world, to create new maps and pathways of belonging.

    Embodying the Soulful Chainbreaker - Part. 3: The Spirit and Science of Change Work

    Many experiences of trauma/oppression reveal where we've failed to belong authentically. The ways in which, as we navigate our social worlds, we come up against blocks and barriers to birthright dignity, authenticity, acceptance and belonging. That is, where we disappoint and fail to conform to the expectations of dominant cultural narratives. This rejection dampens our inner spark, disorients our desire, and erects borders and checkpoints in our interior world that prevents the wild rambling and roving that is our birthright and is necessary for wellbeing. This non-belonging is also a portal to a re/imagination of how else we might live.  Often unconscious to us, our experiences within culture shape the ways we're oriented in the world; influencing the neurophysiology of our bodies, our emotions, perceptions, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world.  On this shared journey the Chainbreaker illuminates the borders and checkpoints - the chains - that limit the free expression of our own unique hearts. The Chainbreaker archetype offers a way to embody fire-based courage so that we may see clearly the impacts of dominant familial and cultural narratives and a path to liberate ourselves and the generations that will come after us. What appears to us as evident in a field of infinite possibility is influenced by our early experiences embedded within family systems and culture.   This email explores the spirit and science behind change-making and chain-breaking. And it asks the question: What can we learn from our bodies that the broader culture tries to bury?  ‍In this email, we'll also offer guided reflection practice on what trauma has made way for in your life.

    Embodying the Soulful Chain Breaker - Part 2: Unlocked: When We Access a Desire Greater than Fear

    Unlocked: When We Access a Desire Greater than Fear The Chainbreaker as archetype invites critical questioning and reclaiming. We are invited to consider disappointing our families of origin, and the cultural influences at large by rejecting narratives and dictates that reproduce harms.It's risky, even, for those most marginalized in these narratives. Yet in this risk we open to a vital rebirth: the opportunity to access desire long hidden or dampened by chains and obstacles.  If we imagine our inner and outer worlds as a map; not one shaped by imposed borders but rather a map that authentically reveals the contours we trace in our daily living and loving. What would we see? What is shaped by inheritance? How does desire move in this geography? Where are you located in this story of change that is both personal and collective?  Desire as creative impulse roots in the energy and action of fire: warming, illuminating, consuming, and transforming. There is a font of desire - distinguished from forms of desire shaped by culture - rooted in a deeper order of life, residing within each of us, that is the fire that propels deeper-level transformation.

    Embodying the Soulful Chain Breaker - Part I: Who is the Soulful Chainbreaker?

    Transmuting Intergenerational Trauma Through The Creative Principles of Fire  This is a story about what it means to be the one who steps out of line. The one willing to be the weak link in the chain.  The one willing to disrupt and disobey; to embrace disruption as a portal and disappoint some of the expectations held for us (and the people associated with them) in the service of another future. And how a shift in imagination turns our deviance into a dedication to life, love, and liberation. This requires courage, fierce love and a fire (in the belly) that sustains our commitment.  In this email, we'll include reflections on becoming the soulful chainbreaker, and what it might mean to and for you.

    Rooted - It takes a village to shape our lives and world anew.

    Today I have something precious and beautiful to share with you. It's a shared learning community called Rooted - A Global Village, Healing the Human Family, and Co-Imagining New Ways of Being.  In a popular article for the Financial Times, Indian novelist Arundahti Roy, wrote about the time we're in as a portal, she says:   "Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next."   What happens at that crossroads of experience for us matter, and I want to contribute intentionally to the world that comes after this.   I'm sharing all about this opportunity in the podcast today  - I hope you'll listen in, and if you'd love to join us, we'd love to have you.   Learn more about our global village, Rooted, here.

  7. Coronavirus, Chaos & Radical Change

    Coronavirus, Chaos & Radical Change

    There's a lot happening in the world right now, and in this episode I want to explore some interesting and emergent threads related to the spread of a virus we're collectively experiencing as a threat.  While this episode is relevant to the spread of this virus and some of the dysfunctions it exposes, it's relevant as well to all our moments of crises, the dysfunction they reveal, the chaos they introduce, and the potent opportunity those moments present to take pause, reorient, and make moves in a new direction.  Chaos is often where we birth new perspectives and experiences.   After you listen to the episode, be sure you're signed up to receive emails from me, as I'll share some free resources this weekend that I hope can support you during this time. You can be added by heading here and registering to receive news and information for the Embodied Trauma Conference!

    The Critical Missing Link in Our Healing and Well-Being

    Events that can lead to trauma, especially in childhood, can impact upon mental and physical health outcomes across our lifetimes. Trauma is a loaded word often reserved for severe abuse, neglect and violence, but trauma touches all our lives in some way and to varying degrees (it touches us or those we love, or the culture around us) and we need to understand how. Understanding the link between what causes us to suffer today and trauma in our histories is a CRITICAL missing piece to so many of our mental and physical health conditions - like syndromes, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain conditions, anxiety, depression and more - and to our experiences of unnecessary suffering.  The critical missing piece is in how some common and some not-so-common experiences we had continue to be held in our bodies, creating pervasive feelings of danger that influence our thoughts, perception and behavior.  There are some fascinating links to explore in this episode that I hope you'll get a sense for, but I'm also introducing you to a FREE educational resource around trauma and its healing towards the end of the episode, that will delve a lot deeper into this fascinating link, so stay tuned for that!  You can find today's show notes HERE, including the link to the free resource!
