Ep. 19. The Wildish Nature ~ following what is sane, wild & creative in us ~                                                         Winter Solstice, Sacred Dreaming

Text: Winter solstice and the time of long dark nights is an important time to feed our inner life with meaningful stories. If we are just even a bit in tune with how nature withdraws and regenerates deep within, then that is what we too can do and find meaning in our ancient and new stories that make us appreciate the dark, the light, the deep and the sacred. Polar bear is a messenger here for all who want to perceive the mystical, magical, profound dreaming that a creature like this carries for us, since ancient times.

ep.18  The Wildish Nature ~ following what is sane, wild & creative in us ~ 
            Active Imagination, Jaguar                                            

 Active Imagination, a term coined by the famous Swiss psychiatrist C.G.Jung, is not an invention of his. It is an ancient shamanic technique to travel to our unconscious. Yet Jung helped to bring it back into our society, so that we might get a grip on our inner world, angels and demons, archetypes and symbolism that is trying to speak to us from our unconscious, if we only made use of it in a productive and healing way….. In this episode, our character Golondrina takes us on such a journey. Learn here how Active Imagination can give us deep insight.

ep. 17   The Wildish Nature ~ following what is sane, wild and creative in us ~ The Scribe                                    

It seems completely natural to us that everything in our societies and the world is being witnessed, studied and recorded. It seems so. And yet it isn’t so everywhere in the world. There is still such a thing as oral traditions. That’s a wonderful way to train memory into a lineage of people! Yet, now more than ever, the witnessing and recording of everything is rampant and intense. Here , I go into a historic perspective and then presenting the witness, the scribe, as an archetype that we can use as our ally on our path. Follow my tracks and see how even that is connected to the Wildish Nature in us.

Ep. 16, The Wildish Nature ~ following what is sane, wild and creative in us~ The Creative Twin

The concept, that we might be drawing from an unknown source when we are in our creative mode, is not a new idea. Many possibilities can be presented as true when we experience being flooded by a source that is not our daily ego or self. What is it then that inspires us? Why do we long as human kind to be in that creative flow? It can be described as being in communion, in dialogue with some inner force, imagery, figures, memories or focus of interest. It is an infinite source.
Here, I am being personal about my own path and ways to tap into creative source. Maybe this inspires or resonnates with you.

Ep. 15,  The Wildish Nature ~ following what is sane, wild and creative in us ~ The Lover                                                
Love is a wild child, unpredictable and taking us on many roller coaster rides,  to highest flights and lowest moments of emotional pain and everything in between.  The Wildish Nature in us knows all about that and wants to know the infinite shades of loving, as we are here on this planet and have a body and heart to love with. We are in the web of it , as we are part of creation. And yet, each of us has their own life long journey with the theme of loving. So here are two versions of the infinite version.

The Wildish Nature ~ Grief
~ following what is sane, wild & creative in us ~ 
Grief is a wild force, taking us down and deeper into the mystery of the powerful forces that govern life and death. Nobody can escape it. Everyone has their own ways to deal with it , when it comes and overwhelms us, when it transforms us and the spiral of ever returning grief keeps challenging our very essence . But then there are the healing voices that bring us hope, a light in the dark, a helping hand when we have sunk; warmth, shelter and kindness in the darkest times. This is what we will be talking and singing about here.

The Wildish Nature ~ The Tribe
~ following what is sane, wild & creative in us

Golondrina, our character and travel guide through the adventures we take, is 
leading us into her own world of family and tribe in Southern Spain. We get 
a sense of what it means to have one's own people, neighborhood and events
that bring joy, restoration and healing because all who are present drop into a way
of expression that accesses a possible sanity and creativity that connects to our
birthright as humans, which means, to belong.

The Wildish Nature
                                                      The Mother         
                      ~ Following what is sane, wild & creative in us ~                                      

Most of us have been very marked by our childhood. Yes we can reinvent ourselves, but some things are super deep. One of these aspects is our connection to nature, creatures, memories of land, places, where we played, how that formed us and how our mother and other family members taught us to relate to nature. Has your mother taught you that you have a mother within a bigger mother? That nurturance, healing, joy, adventure, learning about the cycles of life, birth and death is passed on to us through our mother and also Mother Earth?
