In this episode, I talk with my co-teacher, Hiinahcit, Petrina Dezali, where she shares her work with plant medicines and the concept of Future Ancestors. Hiinahcit is of the Hesquiaht Band, of the Nuu Chah Nulth Nation, and in this conversation, she offers important teachings, insights, and lessons from her work with O.U.R Ecovillage… inviting us to consider our roles, presence, and consciousness, in a world where every action contributes to what we leave for future generations.
Thank you, Hiinahcit, for so generously sharing your time and wisdom with this community.
A post with pictures will follow later at starhawk.substack.com/
