Ep 24. Tapping Into Dreams, Symbols, and Rivers of Wisdom for Joyful Living (w/ Kari Hohne)

  • Summary

  • One aspect of being human is toggling back and forth between the stories and experiences of our personality self or our smaller, 3D, human self… and our Soul self, or the parts of us who can zoom way out and be open to (even if we can’t grasp completely) a vaster understanding of the larger Cosmos and web of life. This conversation with Kari Hohne - a dream analyst, artist, and expert on the eastern and western archetypes that inspire our dreams and oracles; including ancient astrology, Tarot's archetypes, and the Tao te Ching and I Ching - explores what it means to live joyfully through zooming out and tapping into a deeper, broader, and more universal wisdom and story.  All that Kari has studied and experienced leads her to consider this wider, ‘second’ vision the more objective of the visions and perspectives available to us as we seek to navigate being one of many organisms alive on this planet. And from the lens of this river of wisdom and the language of symbolism, we explore: what shamanism means to Kari;the idea that our world is not worse, but rather the best possible expression available at this moment;the ‘24-hr mind’ and dreams (including nightmares) as tools for awakening;how ancient wisdom traditions like Daoism and the I Ching guide us to Nature as a teacher;non-linear time;the role of wonder in living joyfully;technology and expanded consciousness;fear and creativity;the language of symbolism… and much more. Author Robin Wall Kimmerer says in her book, Braiding Sweetgrass, that “even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the Earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”  Kari, too, chooses joy. And she invites us to step into wonder and joy, and give it back. Gather with us? Step into the Great River with us? Choose joy with us? I hope you will. _______________ You can find Kari -  Website http://www.cafeausoul.com Wellness Videos http://youtube.com/natureisaguru Books https://www.amazon.com/Kari-Hohne/e/B0030V73B0 Music https://open.spotify.com/artist/1pX44YkVsIQ1JesGyUKyMV And if you've come for Kari, I hope you'll stick around for more conversations to access, repair, inspire, and evolve our humanity and serve the wild, tender aliveness of our personal and collective hearts. P.S. The Velveteen rabbit quote I butcher in this episode: “Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.' 'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit. 'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.' 'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?' 'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.” ― Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit _________________ To further support the podcast and conversations that awaken, inspire, repair, and evolve something deep within us and serve as good medicine for our wild, tender personal and collective hearts: 1.
