She also shares a channeled message for the energy of the next two weeks that reminds us of the courage to feast on all that we love in life and to be gracious with where you are, even (especially) if it's difficult.

Daniel Foor, Ph.D is the of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal + Family Healing. He is a ritualist and educator focused on helping others reclaim their innate capacity to relate with their ancestors and with the greater web of other-than-human kin.

In today's episode, we talk about cultural repair work, intergenerational accountability and how to become what he calls a “regular size person” through both accepting the gifts and the debts of our ancestry. Dr. Foor shares how this relational process can invite us out of extreme individualism and into a sense of belonging that helps us re-story our identities and kinships. 

We also discuss how western cultural conditioning that tells us “only humans are real or alive” isolates us and how we can begin to deal with the very real grief that comes from seeing the plight of the planet and the other beings with whom we share it

“It’s okay for us to be wrong...the question is: can we be in right relationship to ourselves and others so that when the moment arises we can see.” Rachelle Knowles and Mary Grace float through building relationships with integrity; the connection between creativity and resilience; introversion and sensitivity; the necessity of tenderness and non-hierarchical leadership; and interacting with the invisible and the erotic.

“Grief doesn’t have to eat us alive.” Today's guest Yarrow Magdalena shares practices of ritual, finding ways to be with grief, moments of forced stillness, getting off of Instagram, cocooning, embracing the idea of “enough” in a world that encourages constant production, and the gift of looking from the margins.

We also discuss

• (9:47)  How ritual doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be small, simple acts that remind you of what it means to be alive
• (10:23) A short summary of their book “Rituals - Simple & Radical Practices For Enchantment In Times Of Crisis”
• (12:08) Mary Grace on ritual as a way of honoring the embodiment of her experience
• (16:07) “Grief doesn’t have to eat us alive.” Yarrow offers a small grief practice
• (18:49) Water as another medium to work with grief
• (20:00) Maybe comparing our pain to other’s pain is not the most constructive way to interact with it in the moment
• (21:17) On how beautiful stillness can be; how ritual widens and deepens our capacity to deal with stillness
• (22:17) On their experience with Instagram
• (29:39) “Technology can sometimes facilitate consumption without digestion.”
• (34:42) Cocooning allows for sacred transformation
• (39:04) Yarrow on living cyclically, making space for contraction and stagnation and then the joyful spring of building
• (39:30) On cultivating the value of not knowing, taking breaks
• (39:51) To accept that endless growth is a capitalist illusion
• (40:00) “Human bodies are not made to be in endless growth.”
• (44:49) Queerness and seeing from the margins
