In this post I reflect on my personal experience. It describes the journey into the dance through special encounters with people and animals and dreams and then what it was like to dance to the tree of life while supporting the Sundancers who were fasting and making offerings.

I close with some reflections on living life as ceremony.

Fascinating. Although they don’t mention it, might organoids allow scientists to reduce the testing they do on the brains of animals?

I am fascinated by a number of things in this piece including that it supports the idea of looking at brains as networks and challenges the current “outside-in paradigm,” i.e., taking some stimulus or experience in the world and trying to find the neural correlates for it inside the brain. Of course, I am now very curious about exploring the inside out approach that looks at the patterns of activity across the brain (i.e., networks) and how they generate multiple aspects of human experience. An evocative thought in this piece: “Brains do not process information, they create it!” So much to learn and so much not known. Thanks again!

They are talking about figuring out how those billions of neurons facilitate all manner of stuff like “reasoning” (whatever that means 😉 and movement and so on. Still might be relevant here…

It explores the theme of forgiveness without approval in the face of misuse of power and authority.

Here is the link to the first post. Or you can cut and paste the link as well: http://giselawendling.com/recovering-an-indigenous-view-of-the-world-reflections-on-a-cree-sundance-post-1/.

One question for us to consider is how might this relate to our exploration of leading as sacred practice or leading with a sacred intend?

Please share your reflection

The Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark) originated the social-democratic nation-state in contemporary times. Part of the idea was that happiness overall increases when there is less inequality in a society. And there is research and statistics, by now, to bear that out.

This overall happiness (“well-being,” really) was seen as a desirable social outcome, desirable enough to be encoded in politics and policy, in cultural norms (this is who we are, this is what we do).

This was a choice intentionally made, among many possible choices, which shows that it is possible for large social groups (far larger than any in aboriginal times that is) to choose common well-being as a high priority social outcome.

https://elemental.medium.com/why-calmness-can-be-contagious-17d6c36f4012

…about calmness being contagious and concepts and theories around co-regulation.

Even if fear and anger are more virulent, just knowing that other emotional-somatic states are also “contagious” is helpful, to me anyhow.

I share these articles with you in the hope that it may lead to some interesting thinking and conversation.
Love
Helen
