- (1888PressRelease) November 11, 2012 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, November 13, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tells listeners that we must engage intimately with our wild heart to participate in shaping a new direction for humanity on Earth. Only through an intimate relationship with nature can we come to know our own true wild-hearted nature.
Pratt talks to renowned author and leading edge thinker, Will Taegel, who calls us to open our wild hearts and take the next step, to establish a new relationship with the Earth and our local environments. In his new book, The Mother Tongue: Intimacy in the Eco-field, Taegel lays out the necessary path of return to the Earth's primordial wisdom.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Return to the Mother Tongue with Will Taegel", Pratt encourages Taegel to challenge listeners to enter into deep reflection and question our current beliefs. Taegel shows us how today's science reveals that all life communicates, and that our intimate relationship with nature can guide us through these turbulent times. Taegel shares tools to communicate with and learn from the more-than-human world so that we are able to step up and participate in the fullness of our role in the manifestation of a new era: "The Era of Natural Birth". Pratt and Taegel explore the Mother Tongue Hypothesis and Taegel's intimate path for successfully navigating our shared global crisis.
