Ep 126 Ella Noah Bancroft - Dispossession, living an ancestrally connected life & finding your feminine power

Summary"We’ve never been sicker as a species, we've never experienced such high levels of extinction and its time to look past the ‘machine that’s working’ and actively choose not to contribute to it. Instead, its time to share ancestral knowledge, naturopathy, movement & earth based skills with each other & the next generation and nod to our ancestors by learning the ways, diets and nutritional needs of our bodies.  Let us experience deep sorrow ahead of rejecting the mainstream colonised and capitalistic system and lets walk away from being a machine centred society so that it supports humans first" Show notesLife in a commune which is 60% indigenous and 60% queer Sharing her ancestorial voice given to her by her mother and her family lineageBuilding on generations prior to build fierceness yet peace in her Birthing an event called ‘the gathering’ to fulfil her own need to create a space that was not dominated by whiteness or privilegeThe biggest and greatest job we have on this planet is to raise well and connected childrenFocussing her efforts on marginalised communities We cannot be strong female leaders unless we are bringing everyone along with usStepping  into a woman centred worldWhy the current system is failing all of us to live long, strong, healthy existencesLiving in deep loving connection with each other & the natural world People have never seen intuitive spirituality as fact but its a feminine and necessary pathFeminine cycle of 28 days, men cycling on 28 hour cyclesCreating a feminine vision questWomen are the wisdom keepers, communicators, Shifting away from operating up and out from our body and actively coming back into our bodies which creates a down regulation of our nervous systemComing into ONE conscious moment each weekGrowing up with fragmented culture because of colonisationRewriting new paradigms with indigenous culture at the heart Actively desiring a small but mighty charitable organisation - without desire for becoming national or globalThe power of localisationComing to “rest” on countryRest in the knowing that she is walking on the same country that her blood has walked on in her ancestral linageEncouragement to take a pilgrimage to the “homeland” of your ancestorsOnce upon a time there was a well and connected ancestor living and thriving Finding our own indiginaityLore created by country and cultureWe are but a minuscule piece of a puzzle made up by the thousands of ancestors who came before usAllowing feminine power breathe by openly accepting pain and working through traumaRather than changing the way we work, live, and be in the world we are now relying on abstractions to be the catchallLet us return to a religion where water is our god againReferencesIt takes courage to tell the truth - BookThe returning - Annual eventReclaim your kin and decolonise your mind - CoursePodcast partners ROCK!Nutrisoil Wwoof Australia Buy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow mattersSupport the showCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonSupport the show
