Jyoti talks about how the root of undervalued women started when the Vatican sent out letters, or the papal bull, to people across all continents and saying that the people living outside of western civilization were less than human and needed to be brought into the Church, foregoing their cultures. If they disobeyed, they would be killed, and their land would be taken. That was when land started to become possessed and the strand with Mother Earth herself cut. This forced colonized states to form over centuries and eventually led to land being objectified and commodified.   Nature has intelligence and has sent her protocols into the original caretakers of the planet, which are indigenous peoples and cultures. According to the mothers, the key to the magic kingdom is “just show up”. This allows people to sit with indigenous people and elders and learn from them instead of adopting a Western mindset of figuring out what to take from these people. Jyoti has come to appreciate the diversity of the different lines that the original people hold with these protocols and the value this has into understanding how to better care for the planet. Jyoti Ma is a spiritual teacher and has devoted her life to taking care of Mother Earth by bringing together guardians of indigenous culture and traditional medicine ways. She is the Founder of The Fountain, Grandmother Vision Keeper at Center for Sacred Studies, and a Faculty Member of The Esalen          Institute.   What we discuss: 02:25 – Introducing Jyoti 10:16 – Transmuting energies 17:11 – Reframing our cultural values towards women 23:40 – Experience with other cultures 30:14 – Smoking mirrors illusion 36:27 – Faith in dark moments 41:03 – The Divine Mother’s message   Learn more from Jyoti: Website: https://thefountain.earth/ To learn more about Global Sisterhood go to www.globalsisterhood.org To join a virtual circle with us go to http://www.globalsisterhood.org/virtual-circles To follow us on Instagram @theglobalsisterhood @Lauren Elizabeth @shainaconners   Global Sisterhood Virtual Circles | Global Sisterhood Connect and nourish yourself in the sacred space of sisterhood—anywhere.
