Hope is ancestral
Plant connection & embodying our cycles as a form of resistance

Last week I read some quotes from Dr Rosales Mesa. 

She said, 

"The prophecy of a new ancient world isn't something we wait for. It's something we EMBODY TOGETHER... Your ancestors prayed for you to awaken the wisdom in your blood and bones. You were not born for colonial submission... Despair keeps us in the colonial story. Hope is ancestral."

And my goodness, they resonated.

I really feel the truth in how the colonial story (of which essentially all of us except maybe the billionaires and world leaders are impacted by) causes us to retract our own embodied power and sovereignty.

It's easy to feel small, and lose hope, when we are bombarded by deeply disturbing conditions and information.

So what then can we do?

It's not easy to find that inner fortitude, but we can't just give up. 

If you're reading this, my guess is that you are likely a person of the earth with a deep connection or interest in the generative potential within the womb. 

So, perhaps today's episode will offer a welcome invitation to reflect and connect on ways to deepen your relationship with your own ancestral resilience and hope.

This ancestral resilience is inside all of us. Every single one. It's in our blood. And our bones. 

I hope this one supports you.
