Warning: This and the following three episodes of this series are potentially activating to your nervous system, so please make sure that you are in a good space to absorb the information and have a soothing practice at hand that you can turn to, should your nervous system be activated!

We live in systems that aren't set up for our benefit, but seek to separate us from ourselves, each other and the land we live on, so we extract from and exploit the Earth and our own bodies for other people's gain. Ixchel Lunar and I want to raise awareness about how these systems and structures have really impacted our experience and perspective of time, and how the pace of life is a social construct that works against us in so many different ways.

Follow us in this four-week series where we dive deep into the topic and practices of decolonization, especially how to decolonize time and the body, thereby opening opportunities for liberating and experiencing flow that brings healing to the individual as well as the collective.

In today's introductory episode, we dive into:

- Ixchel's background story of healing and recovering from burnout

- My background story of how learning about the cycles (the personal and the cycles around us) has helped me make peace with my anorexia and with my body

- Simple definitions of what colonization and decolonization actually mean and how they tie into the white supremacist capitalist narratives of our modern society

- Four core ways time has become colonized

- Tools to soothe and regulate your nervous system to help you move forward with this important work
