Root + Rise

How Collective Amnesia feeds Colonialism


Listen Later

Dive into an exploration of collective memory, and the ways in which its erasure feeds the roots of colonialism. What does it mean to forget as a collective? And what might it mean to remember, not just with the mind, but through the body, the land, and ancestry?

You’re invited to trace the lineage of collective amnesia, from the systemic silencing of Earth-honoring cosmologies to the colonization of time itself. Through presence and deep listening, it’s possible to connect ancestral grief, embodied memory, and the unprocessed trauma perpetrated by the psychologies of empire and colonialism. 

This episode is a call to remember as an act of revolution and evolution, an opportunity to reclaim what has been buried, and to step into a new paradigm anchored in reverence and reciprocity through remembering.
