Por el Dolor Ep. 24 -Steven & Izze

We make CE-5 Contact with one thee best storytellers, an amazing teacher, a well knowledged historian, local and passionate documentarian, Steven J Walsh! Steven brings along a beautiful human, independent soul, and freelance artist, Izzy Ortiz! Together, we discuss our community upbringing, how our environmental factors play a huge role on our physical/mental health as individuals but also thee mental health of a community. Paralleling Plato's Cave, we discuss leaving our caves, educating ourselves, exploring earth, and returning to thee tribe to share that info with our shared circles. We discuss gender/identity, pronouns, trauma, ptsd, and navigating through today's times as an artist. Steve is one of thee pioneers and advocates of this new "Renaissance" and recalls thee fall of Rome and its similarities to our steel mills closing and thee tragic ripple effect left behind. He discusses how through tragedy, a beautiful story is currently being written and there is truly a new hope coming to fruition!!!!
