What is your sense of belonging? Do you feel graciously knitted within a family, a chosen family, or a community? Do you feel able to show up in your true essence and be deeply received in your nature? Do you feel supported to be whole by the community you desire to connect to?
In this episode of the Regenerative Mystic Podcast, I speak with Teo Montoya, a Human Design Analyst, a Metamodern Myth Mender, and Indigenous Futurist. His work focuses on the intersections of individual growth and healing, reconfiguring kinship and deep relationality for an emerging global collective in crisis.
He supports individuals in creating a personal myth that contextualizes their gifts, healing, ancestry, meaning, spirituality, and purpose in a land-based ecology of reciprocity.
In this episode, we discuss how it is natural to want to belong to a community and to connect to others even though the modern world isn’t very supportive of the complexities of what that means and the grace it requires. To step towards true relating, we have to get to the base of belonging, too. Belonging means that we get to honor our essence and show up as we are to community with all the complexity that comes with it.
“When we feel safe enough to be seen, that’s the only time that we actually feel safe enough to relate authentically.”
We discuss metamodernism and why it’s about being rooted deeply in Earth's story and the dissolving of black and white thinking. What we’re exploring with meta modernity is that there’s a meaning crisis and a meta crisis. The meta crisis is the collapse of the ecosystem and politics, while the meaning crisis is the collapse of the personal mythology and what it means to find belonging in place, people, symbology, and time.
“We need new meta-narratives for the world as it is to help bring us into context.”
We explore our skepticism with the “new paradigm” concept and explore a relationship with how we create a new earth where we are rooted in placehood and community, while also advancing technologically and medicinally. It is important that we socially support people to be healthy, whole, and healed so we can build a culture together.
Are you living your true essence? What is your sense of belonging like? Living your true essence is about being sincere in who you are. When we’re fully seen in our true essence in relationships, we get a different context of where we belong.
“When our essence is expressed, it’s sincerity.”

Carly Mountain, author of Descent & Rising: Women's Stories and Embodying the Inanna Myth, joins the podcast to discuss the psychospiritual descent to soul and the wildly misunderstood sacred rites of passage that many women secretly experience. She emphasizes the importance of calling this wisdom back into the lives of women and normalizing the nature of both descent and rising as part of the feminine path. Carly explores the concept of sacrifice and the need to let go of certain aspects of ourselves in order to rise and embody our true selves. She also highlights the role of desire and pleasure in the journey of descent and rising, and the importance of compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate these transformative processes.
There's something that happens when we walk through a soul-level initiation: we discover that we may have extrasensory gifts. These gifts don't often feel like "gifts" at first. Sometimes they feel intense, like the veil is a bit thinner than we thought before. If you're like many people, you take to google to try and figure out what's happening to you. Perhaps you have dreams or premonitions about things that haven't happened yet. Perhaps you feel more sensitive to other people and environments. These experience may sound cool and exciting, but they are not always pleasant. They come with a tax to the body. It doesn't always feel pleasant to perceive the mixing of many people's energetic cocktails through your one little body. It's not always fun to wake up from dreams that feel prophetic, but a have a tinge of fear or darkness that we may not feel comfortable holding or working with.
