Season 2, Episode 1: Joy! (And other spiritual practices)
Enthusiastically cheesey. Incurably upbeat. Loquacious to a fault.
It’s “Life, The Universe, and Everything” Northwoods Witch style: an inspiring soliloquy of beliefs and practices with *most* tangents paying out in the end. None of these thoughts are exclusively mine; I’m inspired by the essays and Insta feeds of great thinkers, activists, and spiritual leaders. But I hope you find some value—some resonance or inspiration—in this expression of belief! What shapes your worldview? Are you ready to hold hands with me and step out of the box? Because I can’t claim to fully live up or in to the values espoused in this episode—but I am a wholly incurable optimist and I think that together we can.
I am currently raising donations for the Gaagige-Mikwendaagoziwag “They Are Remembered Forever” Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit (MMIWg2S) People Reward Fund. Please support if you are able by visiting paypal.com/paypalme/mmip2sfund
“This Indigenous-led and grassroots fund has been established to fill a really important gap to help us address injustices, and allowing law enforcement agencies to solve these violent crimes against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people, while bringing justice and healing to our region” Alicia Kozlowski, [Duluth] Community Relations Officer said. “This is not only an Indigenous issue. This is a community issue. This is a human issue. We don't want to be invisible anymore because that's how we disappear.”
