In this podcast, our intention is to amplify Native voices that are essential, and largely muted. Indigenous leaders from every part of the world – the east, west, north, and south, share their life experiences, unleash their knowledge, wisdom and expand our perspective: to inspire us to dream a different dream. They light the way from a dream of separation and illusions to one of connections and relationships, highlighting the “original knowledge” that provides an essential path to ensuring our (and the planet’s) survival. When we allow ourselves to be quiet enough to listen to the wisdom from within, from Elders, and from Mother Earth, we give ourselves the opportunity to experience unity and oneness with all life.
