The Path of IX - Walking With our Shadow

In today's episode, we welcome Erin to the circle and she shares her rich and diverse creation story.
 
We explore:
 
Erin traces her roots as a first-generation Montanan, describing her childhood experiences growing up at the end of a dirt road and her early connections with Indigenous culture.
The impactful revelation of her family's heritage and the internal conflicts arising from cultural assimilation and survival tactics.
Her journey through city life, mentorship, and immersion into community work in places like Boston and Minneapolis.
Erin's musings on intuition, its power, how her environment has shaped it, and its significance in her life choices.
Nonprofit work, volunteer management, and her commitment to justice, offering a nuanced view of cultural exchanges and community integration.
Personal shifts Erin experienced upon returning to rural life and how practices like yoga have facilitated a deeper reconnection with her inner self.
 
This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of cultural reconnection, justice, slow medicine, and the continuous journey of self-discovery and belonging.

In a world where instant gratification often overshadows the slow and sacred process of spiritual growth, the notion of being an "Instant Shamman" challenges us to confront our desire for quick fixes and superficial understanding.
Today, step into the circle with me and Grandmother Láné Saán Moonwalker as we journey through the depths of indigenous wisdom and ancestral knowledge.
 
We explore:
 
Grandmother's personal journey through the deserts and her profound connection to the sacred beings of the land.
Experiences of transformation and awakening. Grandmother's reflections on deprogramming from colonization.
The concept of the "Instant Shaman" and the process of achieving spiritual growth through multiple levels.
The parallels between resistance from loved ones and life in the desert. Fostering a deep communion with divine energies amidst discomfort.
Embracing discomfort as a catalyst for self-discovery and radical self-love.
