What gives you the courage to keep going? What do you do to remember the source of your care? How do you renew your commitment when you feel run down? When I reconnect to my lineage, and remember the long-line of mentors and teachers who inspire me, I find my center, once again. When I remember the initiations that I’ve endured, I find my commitment, once again. In this episode, I present the three stories of lineage, initiation & commitment: “Mogli” in the disney film, a book called CommonFire, an “Gather,” a documentary featuring Native American community leaders, who are reviving their communities through food sovereignty. What about you? What do words like “lineage” and “initiation” mean to you?
