In a gesture of incredible generosity, Serpente da Lua - por Sofia Batalha has made the full recordings of the 1st gathering on Eco-Mythology that she organized in March 2023, freely accessible online to all.
This was a wonderful and profoundly transformative weeklong event. I'm delighted to have participated with a talk on "Deep Time Wisdom."
I vividly recommend you watch the videos — 21 overall, in Portuguese and in English, with English subtitles in the Vimeo "transcript" section — and explore the additional materials.

Here we speak the languages of the earth, its ferocity, and subtlety. We challenge anthropocentric perception. We make ourselves available to listen and feel through the lens of radical and eco-systemic relationships. Furthermore, we allow other nuances to nourish us, like the voice of the wind, the stories of the mountains, or the whispers of the deep sea.

PRESENTATION THEME Embracing ways of thinking that pre-date Empire is a good starting point for all endeavors that revive the eco-self, and our re-connection to community bonded to the land. Shifting away from the patriarchy is possible, and from pre-colonial, Indigenous or egalitarian models, the worldview and values we need are just waiting to be re-kindled. Also known as “uncolonization,” we all have access to a well of deep knowing - or ancestral knowledge - that can be revived with immersion in nature, and by focusing on the Old Ways. Compiled from years of experience and research, Deep Time Wisdom will weave through a comparison chart that identifies the habits of modernity we take for granted, and the alternatives in holistic patterns of thought or action. As just one example, “modern thinking/western mind” regards humans as separate from nature, bounded by the ego, self-absorbed, material and having a sense of linear time, whereas “ancestral thinking /Indigenous mind” views humans as part of nature, connected, empathic, physically grounded and embodied. My talk will conclude with a statement on combining intelligences, or the “entwining of heart and mind” that fulfills our potential as true human beings. It may be a daunting task to read our own souls as people dwelling in an animist universe once again. But the outcome is clear, that by activating Deep Time Wisdom we align with the sacredness of the Earth, and the love and respect for nature that dwells at the heart of our lives.
