We are entitled to a (re)membership with the holy, the never-ending and ever-evolving wisdom of dreams, and guidance on the path of remembering ourselves home.
I forgot to mention this episode's Patreon offering in the intro, but check out the Links section below to access Toko-pa's Dream Recovery Kit ebook, designed for the individual who is feeling estranged from their dreams, this guide will help you cultivate a rich dream life. This kit contains guidance for dream recall, tips for overcoming blocks, exercises for deepening your practice, and ideas for ritual and dream incubation.
IN THE INTRO:
Ancestral Voices, Women's Weariness, & the Illusion of Linear Time
Chronic pain
Dreamwalking
IN THE INTERVIEW:
A childhood in exile, a lost community, and finding belonging again
Being grabbed by the hair and dragged into the bottomless underworld
An incredible story about physical pain, a powerful dream, the grandfather who jumped from a train on the way to Auschwitz, and ancestral healing
Healing is open ended
When a family must keep their stories secret in order to survive, and how that silence affects the lineage- "Nothing influences children more than the silent facts in the background" -C.G. Jung
The dreaming channel is always open- being in reciprocity with the world behind the world
We are literally made of story, and dreams are the original stories
Why we should not be down with OPI- Other People's Information
Dreams are nature pulsing through us, and incline us toward our unique medicine
The multiplicity of our coherence
Not all dreams carry equal weight, but there is no such thing as a throwaway dream either
Approaching a dream as if it were a wild animal in a forest
Heirlooms, the storying of objects, and what we reclaim when we make things by hand
To feed the holy that sustains us, give in a way that doesn't require any more taking
