Show Notes
It was truly my honor to sit down with Grandmother Robin Youngblood in the Dream Barn to discuss the upcoming Dance to Heal the Earth in Chimacum, WA on Sept 5-8th 2025.
Grandmother Robin shares how when she was under the mud and water in the Oso Mudslide of 2014 (the deadliest mudslide in human history) she heard Mother Earth scream that she didn't want this to happen, didn't want this mountain to come down, didn't want the animals and the people to be harmed. It was due to human error. Following the mudslide, Grandmother Robin was lead to bring forward Dance to Heal the Earth. The dance is for everyone and everything, for restoring the balance of the masculine and feminine and celebrating joy and gratitude for all life, and for enacting what Mother Earth needs from us now.
Grandmother Robin teaches us the importance of building community at the local level to support each other through the times that are here and and are coming. She speaks of how we need to listen to the land, be reverent to the land, to ask the land what it wants before acting, just as all native people have always known and practiced - we aren't different from the land, we are the land. Grandmother Robin talks about the Hopi prophecy and how "we are the ones we've been waiting for," stresses the importance of finding out what our role is to play on behalf of Mother Earth and All Our Relations.

More from Herbs and Dreams
Life is sooooo much more than the individual hero and heroine's journey... it's the journey of remembrance. Dreaming can help us shift out of the “myth of separation” towards a lived sense of interconnection with the whole web of life, spanning time and space. Which is, I believe, THE task of modern human beings at this time. The future of the planet just might even depend on it.
Humanity is standing in the threshold; that space in an initiation or rite of passage that is betwixt and between. The threshold time in a process of transformation is precisely the juncture when the self, as she has known herself to be, has shed her old skin, but does not yet know what form her new skin will take.
Dreaming does not exist in a vacuum, it's in no way separate from the rest of our lives and psyches. Dreaming is trying to help the waking life... but what do I mean by help?
Join Kimberly Gallagher and I as we share the origin story of our collaboration on the upcoming course Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism.
This episode is a love note to the inner feminine and a prayer to bring balance to the masculine and feminine within our selves, our communities and our world. Restoring this balance begins, as always, first within our own minds and hearts.
