#80 Meeting Pachamamma; Shaman Ben and  Being a Guardian of the Land

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by Ben the Shaman, who opened this year’s La Beltane Festival in the middle of a thunderstorm.As torrential rain lashed the valley and festival-goers huddled beneath the gazebo, Ben stepped directly into the storm to bless the land, calling to Pachamama, spirit, the heavens and the directions. Slowly the rain softened, the skies cleared, and the festival unfolded in sunshine from that moment onward.We talk about ritual, healing, community, land connection, and why gatherings like La Beltane — and a deeper relationship with the land itself — feel so deeply needed in the modern world.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!
