Show Notes
Receive teachings and inspiration from wisdom keeper Dr. Deborah Frances Dancing Crow on how to align with the flow of life. Dancing Crow begins by exploring how we are quite a complainy culture... and stresses the importance of giving thanks. She shares a gratitude ceremony involving water and the four directions, counseling us to greet the sun every morming, giving thanks to the rising sun and feeding the spirits.
Dancing Crow shares her story from 1999 when Spirit suddenly and insistently told her in a visionary state that "in the coming times it is absolutely critical to Dream the Good Dream. No matter how dire things may seem environmentally, politically, socially and personally... it is absolutely important to Dream Beauty." She shares how the plant hawthorn can help us open our hearts to relationship with Nature and All of Life.
For the world to heal, she says, we MUST connect to our hearts. Nature is the place to practice vulnerability and authenticity. It is the place our hearts will be healed. Any time in the presence of this beloved Earth elder is a precious gift, and this episode is no exception. Enjoy!

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.
