Episode 44 - Weaving Into Relationality: A conversation with Hilary Giovale

In this conversation, Sara Jolena Wolcott and Hilary Giovale explore the themes of interconnectedness and the healing journey of decolonization. Beginning with one of their shared Nordic/Anglo-Saxon heritage's understandings of the web of life, known alternatively as Orlog/Wyrd, they inquire into the purpose and nature of ReMembering as participating in the web of life. They then move into Hilary's journey, which often echoes Sara Jolena's journey and might resonate with many listeners, including the importance of facing ancestral truths and the role of discomfort in personal growth. Hilary shares her experiences in writing her book, 'Becoming a Good Relative,' and the significance of feedback from diverse voices. How do we go between the spiritual and the practical? How do we build community among philanthropists and help philanthropists do our own work? How do we see the decolonial movement growing? We end with celebrating the incredible importance of music and the revitalization of ancestral languages.; The episode ends with some music by Carolyn Hillyer.  Grab your copy of Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and RepairGood Relative WebsiteHillary's InstagramBook mentioned:For Indigenous Eyes Only: A Decolonization HandbookDecolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore BalanceOrgs mentioned:Decolonizing Wealth ProjectMagnolia Mother's TrustMusic played: Sago An SnijoArtist: Carolyn HillyerMore about Carolyn's musicPlease do share and like this episode!
