123. Grief is Collective

05/06/22 • 134 min

Kitty Sipple talks collective grief; multiplicity; the psychiatric industrial complex; synchronicities, magic & tarot; living in extreme states; & being Mad, Multiple and Autistic.

Kitty is Mad & multiple. they are a constellation of neuroqueer/Autistic polymath polymorphic storytellers. kitty exists in this timeline as a white, disabled, trans/non-binary femme creature.

We also talk: the collective self (many people within one person); Dissociative Identity Disorder; existing in different timelines; connecting through grief; grief & joy; grieving as CELEBRATING life; compassion, grace & forgiveness of self (and others); unlearning capitalism; the magic of "I'm not ALONE!"; the fool & the magician (tarot cards); making amends; disconnecting and reconnecting to community; banishing the self; witnessing animals grieve; non-hierarchical power; AUTHENTIC connection as a BALM for loneliness; trauma fundamentalism; and MORE.

Previous Episode

122. Creating More Connected Community (w/ Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza)

Dr. Robyn talks developing relationships with our bodies; sitting and BREATHING (coregulation) in nature; rejecting & reclaiming spirituality; autism (sensory overwhelm); & MORE.

Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza (TransQueer Latinx Activist Scholar & Politicized Theologian) joins me for a heart-felt conversation about co-creating & rebuilding heart-centered communities and connections (with ourselves, our bodies and our communities)!

We also talk: relationships as HEALING; proliferating love; a love-hate relationship with humanity; eating food together as powerful connection; the transactional nature of capitalism; needing better models to pattern ourselves after; fragmenting of self; spirituality as CONNECTION; reconnecting to our inner truth; having ideas, not answers; sitting in nature and remembering how to BE (SLOW down); defining 'god'; atheism & agnosticism; pantheism (god in everything); forest bathing & earthing; the slow road back to self; composting social media; the challenge of being around people; the paradox of being meaningfully very small and very big; and MORE!

AND Non Wels joins to talk about reconnecting with our inner-child. Pre-order his Dear Childhood Me journal.

Connect with Dr. Robyn.

Next Episode

Emotional Stewardship & Internal Community Belonging (Patreon Bonus ep 71)

In which I sit beside the river and share ideas about decolonizing the inner landscape, slowing down & shifting the Emotional Climate-Change (within every humyn on this planet).

Also discussed:

Grieving and celebrating as part of honouring life;

Carrying grief from ancestors;

Sensitivity as a gift to humyns;

Colonial mindset ("it only has value if I decide it has value") vs Community mindset ("everything has intrinsic value whether or not I understand it");

"I don’t own my emotions";

Climate change as humyns forgetting how to belong;

PEACE as a fluctuating state (like the seasons and emotions);

Welcoming my anxious parts;

Being a part of the earth system and the internal system;

Being PART of community;

Meditation & rest;

“I’m too busy to rest and slow down”;

The dominator/colonial mindset (the anthropocentric mindset);

Remembering how to belong (to self and community);

Remembering how to be apart of the non-humyn community;

Decolonization (starts within—how I treat my self, my body, my emotions);
