Here in the northern hemisphere, as the winter solstice approaches, the light is changing quickly, and the sun sits lower on the horizon with each passing day. By now, all the harvest celebrations have come to an end, but the practice of gratitude and acknowledgement for the rewards of summer’s hard work continues.
As we wrap up Season 3 of Seedcast, this very special final episode is dedicated to the hard work that has gone into this podcast. We revisit the diversity of nine productions created since last autumn by different producers. Through this journey, Executive Producer of Seedcast, Tracy Rector, shares her gratitude for how each of these creatives have played a vital role in the storytelling of Seedcast.
Storytelling is one of the most connective experiences people have with each other. Throughout the world during the coldest months, Indigenous Peoples wintertime traditions most often include sharing stories about who they are, their histories, and lessons of the season to offer wisdom and inspiration across the generations. Winter is a time to share what we have, to draw from what has been gathered to give us energy and offer lessons of survival through the coldest of seasons and it is through storytelling that the link between humans and all life on Earth – seen and unseen - is understood, maintained, and nurtured.
As our team settles in for the winter, we ask you, our listeners: How will you come together in kinship this winter? Wintertime is the perfect occasion to get to know one another better through storytelling, ceremony, and joy. Enjoy!
Special thanks to special artistic contributors Jennifer Kreisberg, Joel Schomberg and Mia Kami.
