Show Notes
Grandmother Jyoti Ma is an internationally renowned spiritual teacher, grandmother vision keeper and one of my deepest inspirations. I first discovered her through the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, whom she was instrumental in helping to convene, as you will hear in the episode. You and I are very blessed to have this time with her. Grab a cup of tea, open the ears of your deeper heart, and soak in the medicine of Grandmother Jyoti Ma as shares with us:
The prophecy shared by the Kaggaba Nation in 2013 that can prepare and instruct us on how to be with these times.
The need to return to original principles based on reciprocity and collaboration guided by Nature and the Sacred.
How it is that we can truly listen to what the Mother is asking of us; how She is an alchemist and that timing is everything.
The importance of embracing the present moment.
How there's a grandmother that dreamt this world and is dreaming us, and it's this grandmother we need to have homage to and patience for.
How we are each made to be uniquely who we are in the herbal garden of life.
Grandmother Jyoti Ma has cultivated projects that demonstrate ways of life that honor the Earth and all Peoples. As the Grandmother Vision Keeper of the Center for Sacred Studies, she co-founded Kayumari with spiritual communities both in America and Europe. Other projects she has helped to convene are the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and the Unity Concert. She is the founder of The Fountain (https://thefountain.earth) Its mission is to restore an economic model that is based on reciprocity and collaboration guided by Nature and the Sacred. She serves as a delegate of the Mother Earth Delegation of United Original Nations. And it is through this current work in collaboration with the Fountain that a global Sacred Territories Initiative is evolving to protect Mother Earth’s sacred sites and Her Original Peoples. Jyoti has devoted her life to bringing unity to the planet by facilitating the development of alliances between individuals who are the guardians of indigenous culture and traditional medicine ways. Through this work, collaborative relationships with organizations that are focused on economic, social, and environmental solutions have developed, creatively addressing the global challenges of our times.

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.
