In the inaugural episode of "A Word to the Wise," hosts Quynn and Rebecca delve into the origins of the podcast's name and openly discuss their initial hesitations and the importance of holding space for each other's concerns.

They explore the interconnectedness of all things and share mindsets for a hopeful future. Speaking directly to the audience, they emphasize focusing energy on what is working and maintaining hope for the possibility of a wonderful Animist future.

Join us in this enlightening conversation that encourages resilience and optimism in the face of uncertainty.

Today we will hear an offering of wisdom from one of our spirit bridges Elisabeth.

Elisabeth shared this journey in 2017 during a series called “Restoring your Animist Ancestry”. Her vision contains challenging imagery, with a potent message at the end that can have deep meaning for us now, in 2024, and beyond.

As you listen - do your best to keep some awareness on the words being spoken, and to allow the imagery to play out in your mind. You might even close your eyes - if it is safe to do so for you at this time.

The scene and sentiment described by Elisabeth is difficult, and has been within human cultures since the beginning of human time. This sense of separation is one of our greatest challenges, and our ability to find commonality is one of our greatest gifts.

Notice how you feel in your body as certain words are spoken. Notice any thoughts or feelings that come up for you in response to the things being said and the imagery that is being illustrated here.

Journeying is a powerful practice where the Journeyer is receiving and interpreting - or translating, an abstract form of wisdom. This Journey is offered in the spirit of gratitude, trust, and connection with all beings of the Earth and beyond.

You’re invited to feel into the symbols presented, take whatever resonates with you, and leave the rest as it is. Blessings to you as we enter into this Journey.

This episode is hosted by Spirit Bridge Quynn Red Mountain.
