We Belong to What We Long For: Reclaiming Lost Lifeways in the Age of Loneliness - Becca Piastrelli

It is through land that we find ourselves. It is through lineage that we return to ourselves. It is through community that we expand ourselves. In this age of disorienting change and fracture, let us wander within our daydreams of another way of being.

TOPICS:

  • A Western suburban childhood- television, processed food, malls, and fear of nature’s dangers

  • Evolutionary Mismatch Theory: our human bodies were not made for these times

  • We are living in the Eremocene: The Age of Loneliness

  • The medicine of women’s circles and the two questions that should be central to each gathering

  • The collective yearning for ritual and embracing the awkwardness of not knowing what you’re doing

  • Repercussions of the Burning Times

  • We do this reclaiming work for our descendents, knowing we may not reap the fruit of our labors in this lifetime

  • Listening to what the soul of your home wants

  • Connecting to lineage with food and folklore

  • How an offering of food from a stranger saved Becca’s ancestors’ lives

  • Connecting with our ancestors in Mythic Time: what stories from your lineage are ever happening?

  • The echoes of the electroshock therapy Becca’s grandmother underwent & how writing Root and Ritual completed an ancestral storyline

  • Musings on women in the 1960s, twilight births, the rise of consumerism and isolated living

  • The world we were born into is gone: the end of the Pax Americana and the unraveling of culture and collapse of institutions

  • We need to grieve as a culture so that we can be responsive to what’s next

  • Your body is sacred land

  • Parenthood and postpartum in the modern age

  • Mothering as ancestral reverence

  • Calling in energy from unexpected sources

Lost Lineages & Ever Evolving Lore - Milla Prince

Lost Lineages & Ever Evolving Lore - Milla Prince

As people and communities move and change with time, stories evolve and lineages are lost. But information always goes where it needs to in order to survive and resurface again when needed. Ancestral stories can guide us on our paths, and lost lineages can be remembered. Milla Prince is an herbalist, writer, and teacher who moved from Finland, where she had been deeply immersed since childhood in ancestral plant lore from that intact tradition, to the west coast of America about 10 years ago. Her blog, newsletter, Instagram account, Fireweed & Nettle herbal medicines, and The Cauldron zine reach tens of thousands of people each month. But I knew her when... and we talk about how funny that when was, as well as touching on a large range of other topics. We talk about: The unexpected internet subculture that first brought us together Bear lore and the myth that spans the northern lands and shapes Milla’s online identity Baba Yaga arising in the collective consciousness right now The dream that guided Milla to change her work in the world The circuitous paths we take when finding ourselves Ancestral medicine & being indigenous to a place Cultural appropriation as a symptom of spiritual longing #witch #ancestry #medicine and mimetic expression online (evolving lore!) The trauma of the burning times Working with ancestral lines that are lost to you Links: Milla's website The Woman Who Married a Bear Eve Bradford Max Dashu The Seven Daughters of Eve book  Giving Voice to Bear book The Spirit Weavers Gathering The Good Medicine Confluence Palestine on a Plate book Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles book Music by Mariee Siou (from the song Wild Eyes) Mythic Medicinals herbals Take our fun quiz Which Healing Herb Matches Your Energy?
