Sarah Drew - Gaia Codex - Y on Earth Podcast

The

Sarah Drew is the visionary author of the eco-feminist novel Gaia Codex. Her work catalyzes powerful blueprints for the future, deeply rooted in the gnosis of the past. With a global social media following of over 150,000, Sarah is a mentor and teacher to women world-wide and has been a featured speaker at the graduate level and at organizations such as Google, ABC, and Deepak Homebase. Sarah lives with her husband in Manhattan and on their lush, forested farm in the Hudson Valley (RhineValleyFarm.com).

In this beautiful, illuminated discussion, Sarah reveals how we can each cultivate the direct feelings of connectedness to Gaia – Mother Earth – and the sweetness of the the reality that we truly ARE Her, and are of Her. Her inspirational vision for our future is one marked by humanity experiencing rapid transformation and growing our garden together. With daily walks in the woods, a practice of cultivating the light body, daily meditations and prayers of gratitude, Sarah invites us to develop and practice the humble ways of living that connect us with life-force, and compel us to live in harmony with our living biosphere. She envisions a network emerging of intentional communities in localities world-wide, where increasing numbers of the human family engage directly in prayers and actions of co-creation with living landscapes to restore our world, our psyches, our culture and our species.

With a sweet, candid discussion of her journey as a woman, Sarah explores the arc from young maiden, to mature woman, and wise crone. Our term “Crone,” she shares, is etymologically related to “crown” – evoking the archetype of the wise woman, the Queen – the liberated, empowered, wizened feminine archetype. This journey invites conscious women to mark stages with rites of passage, to bring light in to the material form, to experience initiation, and to work closely with the Water and the Soil in service to life, peace, and well-being. Reminding us that “matter” is closely related to “Mater” (mother), Sarah invites us to heal and restore our relationship with the physical, living reality, to cultivate Light and Love, and to reconnect with the Great Mater – Great Matter – Great Mother – Gaia.

Three Sisters Sovereignty Project - at the Waterfall - Podcast

The Three Sisters Sovereignty Project, led by three Mohawk women, is based in the Schoharie Valley of central New York, the ancestral homelands of the Mohawk people. Tiffany Cook, Fallan Jacobs, and Kaweenniiosta Jock discuss how this profoundly important effort – in fulfillment of prophecy – is being launched with future generations in mind.

The Three Sisters Sovereignty Project focuses on three core objectives: Food Sovereignty, Energy Sovereignty, and Cultural Sovereignty. At the heart of the near-term plans is building an educational long house – mixing both traditional and modern techniques for sustainable design – teaching the Mohawk language, ceremonial and cultural traditions, and growing organic food and medicinal herbs using soil stewardship and regenerative agricultural practices. The project can be supported through their Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ThreeSistersSov.

Tiffany Cook is a grandmother and mother of three who runs a successful juicing and nutritional support initiative to bring healing through food to her tribe. She has a farm and indoor grow facility where she grows all of her own micro-greens for her business.

Fallan Jacobs is the mother of four children who has worked closely with the Ahkwesasne Mohawk reservation community on economic development, labor market information, and small business support initiatives. She works with indigenous youth and familiies to rekindle, restore and enhance their sense of cultural identity, land-based teachings, and community connections.

Kawenniiosta Jock is the mother of five children, who helps develop traditional support, cultural teachings, and cultural preservation of the Mohawk tribal ways. She works with women, children, and men who suffer from domestic violence and sexual assault. She is also a self-taught seamstress and has a small business making traditional dresses as well as her own clothing line.

Brian Czech, Executive Director of CASSE, on the insanity of unlimited economic growth, and advocates a Steady State Economy to ensure peace and prosperity.

Brian Czech is the Executive Director of the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE). He spent nearly 20 years at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service headquarters (the first conservation biologist ever hired by the agency) before resigning in 2017 to run CASSE. Brian is the author of several books, including: “Supply Shock”, “Shoveling Fuel for a Runaway Train”, and “The Endangered Species Act: History, Conservation Biology, and Public Policy”. He has a Ph.D. from teh University of Arizona and is a thought leader in ecological economics.

In this episode, Brian discusses the Trophic Theory of Money, and why the expectation of unlimited economic growth may be a grand delusion. At the CASSE website (steadystate.org), you’ll see images and figures explaining why we all need to understand the global-scale context and crisis. Teasing out the difference between Environmental and Ecological Economics, Brian implores the audience to consider the emerging Gross National Happiness (GNH) index of Bhutan, rather than Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as a much better indicator of quality of life, well-being, and ecological sustainability. Indeed, asserts Brian, GDP is much more accurate and useful as a measure of environmental impact than it is an indicator of health, well-being and quality of life. He identifies conspicuous consumption as a key flaw in the growth economies of developed countries, and recognizes the cultural pathos underlying it. Encouraging each of us to demonstrate “Steady Statesmanship,” Brian sees that establishing a steady state economy is critical to our shared future and to our: national security, international stability, economic sustainability, and environmental protection.

Brian is working on Full and Sustainable Employment Act amendments to the existing Employment Act, among many other key initiatives. Learn more at steadystate.org. #steadystate
