The Essence of the Medicine Path with Angell Deer
03/11/23 • 86 min
Today, I bring you a conversation where I was interviewed on The Sanctuary, Shamanic Healing Center hosted by Angell Deer, where we went into a deep dive into some of the essence of the medicine path. Beyond and behind the visible or the heart-lifting steps, there are many steps that are much more difficult, heartbreaking, challenging, and humbling.
From the deep daily connection to land, the sacred ancient practice of planting seeds, to the radical responsibility and vulnerability, we can find in this exploration we took together some immense and invaluable nuggets of wisdom.
In this episode, we allowed ourselves the space to become the medicine, and remember our relationship to time, creation, and the cosmos through the Mayan calendar.
We explore fascinating subjects like:
- Building relationships with the invisible world
- Learning authentically from the natural world
- Calling the teacher and what it takes to stay with the teacher
- Radical responsibility and humility
- The power of ancient calendars and their roles in our fate and destiny
- The difficult processes and steps into the Medicine Path
- The stories of cacao, corn & seeds and their role in our sacred work
- The deep teachings of Ancient Cosmology
- And the long process of remembering & forgetting...
Our ancestors and who we are are not only in our dreams or in our remembering but we exist as well in the forgetting. Remembering takes time and vision and so all beings have found an example or a system or an observational language they have to relate to the passing of their journey.
This spark inspired the creation of calendars as they relate to time, cycles, the cosmos, and creation as can be seen in the lineages of the Olmeca, Maya, Zapotec, Aztecs, and many more mesoamerican cultures.
Join us in this exploration, let yourself receive and feel, and let those seeds Marita planted for us grow deep and slow... So you can remember how to forget.

The Art of Forgetting
We are here to learn our lessons and we are here to remember our purpose.
But first, we must forget.
Today’s podcast is an exploration of the art of forgetting. Join me as I examine what it is we need to forget and what it is we get to remember. We’ve been trained to accumulate since birth. We collect knowledge, things, and experiences, but to what end? Why are we here and what are we called to do?
I’m exploring:
- An acknowledgement of community & the greater whole that we are a part of
- Amnesia at birth: learning as remembering
- The desperation of a society & its influence to conquer, not steward
- How can we adjust how we view death & suffering in this world?
- A time of silence & reflection: What is it that you need to forget and let go of? What is no longer serving you and your purpose?
For James, who lived his life unapologetically. May we do the same.

The Mythology of Climate Collapse
How many stories did you grow up with that literally were based on the ending of this earth?
How many TV shows and movies have you watched where humans are searching for a new planet where they can begin again because Earth was no longer habitable?
Humans have been trying to distance themselves from nature for a very long time.
Today’s podcast is an invitation to get really curious about the idea of beginning again. An invitation to return to storytelling; to get reconnected to mythology. Because I believe it’s time we reconnect to the possibility that we are all creatures on this planet.
I’m exploring:
- What we’ve lost as society has become more “civilized”
- The effects of humans being separated from nature
- Why I don’t find the climate collapse we find ourselves in surprising
- The imagery of mythology and why it’s so important in this reconnecting
- How what was taken away from the original people of the Americas upon colonization was so much more than their land
- What’s possible if we connect to our creatureness again
- The lesson that we as a society have forgotten and how to remember
- A 2-part meditation to help you reconnect with nature and your creatureness
