Summary If we are going to lay the foundations of a world we are proud to leave as a legacy we need to be comfortable to move into elderhood - for Manda Scott this is about getting comfortable with emergence and asking the living web “what is mine to do”. We’ve created a world where separation, anxiety & powerlessness have become the underlying defaults instead of a world of security, belonging & agency. We are addicted to dopamine &exist in a world of trauma rather than initiation so how are we to rewrite these patterns? By listening to the heart-mind - its very shy & quiet but the head mind will whisper if it needs you to really listen.
We talked about: Learning to live as functioning members of the earth community Why she writes fiction not non fiction Receiving shamanic instruction How to be in connection with the web of life in all its complexity Being born into a trauma culture rather than an initiation culture Why seeing truth without self projection is hard. Her decades of shamanic teaching - still learning to discern the difference between what her ego is saying and what the energy is saying Returning to a sit spot to receive instructions to write a book “Skin Listening” - an ability to be felt with all your senses without pre conceived ideas Sit spots - what can I see, what can I feel, what does my heart say Why some languages say “I am other” and some say “I am intrinsically part of what is happening. Initiation culture is capable of holding contained encounters with death We live in a dopamine culture - addicted to turning oil into adrenaline Yearning for a serotonin mesh of connection of meaning & purpose The four stages of Adulthood Undoing our head mind dominance Offering yourself in service and waiting for your path. The chaos of our culture is that we think we can plan ahead We live in an insane world & ourselves its sane One of the key measures of adulthood is being prepared to walk against the tide
