Invoking the Indigenous Mind —Amidst a Battlefield of Narratives, Political Polarization & War

Today in our world, we are finding ourselves surrounded by political polarization, ongoing wars, and the destruction of our environment. The media is presenting us with a minefield of narratives where they have either figured it out or they know who to blame, and frankly, many of us, including myself, are fatigued with this approach. This episode offers a different way - a mature way, a way of the heart that my guest today is calling "the indigenous mind." By indigenous mind, he doesn't mean a regression or romanticization of the past, but points to something crucial that we might have forgotten in our modern-day rush. My guest, Jens Jarvie, is a seasoned shaman who lives a life at the intersection of spiritual transformation and music. Over the past three decades, Jens has been a scholar and practitioner of multiple wisdom traditions, but in recent years, he has been serving as a guide and practitioner of the Shipibo-Konibo tradition of the Amazon. This is a timely conversation that I hope gives you some faith in a way forward. If it resonates with you, please share it with your friends, and I'll see you soon. Thank you.
