"Suck me dry you uptight fakers...."

I look around at people who seem like husks, sucked dry, exhausted from following the rules created by power-hungry automatons. People who have lost their wildness, and are withering away. These lyrics from the song Better in the Morning by Birdtalker have perfectly captured that feeling of being sucked dry by people who are rigid, uptight, feigning perfection, while smouldering a dark shadowy longing for wildness inside themselves (and destroying it outside themselves).

In this week's podcast episode I am issuing a call to all wildlings to move against these forces. We musn't follow rules that destroy the world. There are rules that matter, rules that govern the turning of the seasons and the movement of energy through ecosystems. These are the rules we must understand and follow, not the ones created by uptight fakers. May we take up our wild green staffs and change the rules, together.

What is liberation? What does it mean to be free? What sustains the soul while we walk this Earth-life?

This week's podcast episode is my musings on these topics and more, and as always, enjoy the ambient birdsong as my feathered neighbors contribute to the conversation. 

From my heart,
Eryn

This week's podcast episode is a reflection on an encounter I recently had with Norway Spruce at the beautiful Rhoneymeade Arboretum in Centre Hall, PA. 

This is another powerful teaching from the trees on how to walk the old roads of wisdom that still lie under our feet, wherever we are.

Our current evolution of consciousness is asking us to examine and re-evaluate the importance we have given to the construct of currency.

Does money really reflect what we collectively value? Or has this human construct sort of run away with us? What is the true nature of currency, and how has it become misconstrued through our current trajectory of centralizing power?

Some more resources that I recommend in the episode: 

• Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein
• The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist
• The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer

In this week's podcast episode, I offer you a challenge. Can you begin to shift into a shamanic worldview? Can you begin to live into the experience of entering the Otherworld, even as you walk through this one? Can you awaken to the reality that you are surrounded by sentient beings who see you, know you, and interact with you in ways that we have forgotten how to participate with?

I hope you will take on my challenge this week, and enter the portals all around you. I would love to hear your experiences.

As humans we have many ways of knowing, some more celebrated than others. In this week's podcast episode, we explore what has been called "shamanic consciousness" which is a way of knowing that is universal to all people, ancient, essential to life, and rarely esteemed or celebrated in modern culture. 

The plants exist in this type of consciousness, and emit this field of consciousness, in ways that are very helpful to us as humans. Tune in this week for some tips and suggestions on working with plants and other technologies of spirit to deepen your own shamanic consciousness.

The culture we have developed in has shaped our resilience, our piorities, and our methods for coping. 

Has your culture promoted a life-giving resilience, or an insular, paranoid shelter against looming evil forces? 

In this episode I offer a reflection on my own culture, and the kind of culture I want to help birth with the help of the plants.

In this week's podcast episode, we explore the particular energetic and vibrational signature that is your "medicine" to carry into the world. Some medicine is bitter, and some is sweet, and both have their challenges and gifts. 

Whatever medicine you carry, may you embody it fully in service to the healing of the world.

I open this week's episode with a poem from Chelan Harkin. I also mention the books Dispelling Wetiko by Paul Levy, and Shakti Woman by Vicki Noble. 

I can see and feel that so many of us are doing this work of disarming the empire within and building resilience so that we can stay open, connected and generous. As we change our inner landscapes, the world outside of us changes too. 

Thank you for loving yourselves in this way, and in doing so, loving the world back into wholeness.

In this week's episode, we explore the core of our identity as humans. Who are you? What will you take with you when this life is over? What world are you creating with the power you have?
