Editor's Pick in Kindred Media


Picture

Modern civilization has always had its rebels and resisters, but the movement toward living in balance with nature has exploded in recent years. Mother Earth herself is definitely speaking to us, and we are listening, as we seek new connections both to the land and our wildness within.  This must be the most important work of our time – to reject the toxicity of Empire – and regain our place within (not above) the Circle of all Life.  As techno-capitalism continues to attack the living world we are uncolonizing, and rejecting the western worldview that led to the crisis in the first place. Rejuvenating our bonds to Earth Community is happening through a rich complexity of paths and practices – genres such as ecopsychology, permaculture, rewilding, paganism, ecofeminism, animism, and other expressions of the ancestral arts.  And yet where does the initial impulse come from, to seek our own ancestral knowledge?  At some point in our collective history, the majority of us were separated from our root culture by imperialism and colonialism. With the trail so cold, what expressions feel authentic, as we revive spirit and culture today? One thing is for sure, we can be eternally grateful to the Indigenous Elders across Turtle Island for the wisdom they offer, and for the teachings we are being encouraged to embrace. And the primary directive arising from Indian Country right now, is that “all people need to return to their own Indigenous Knowledge.”[1]

For those of us in the Euro-diaspora who have been separated from pastoral, small village, or Indigenous systems for many eons, it can be extremely challenging to recover the earth-emergent worldview(s) that our ancestors held. By the time the explorers and settlers arrived on the shores of Turtle Island, honoring natural law and living in balance with Earth Community had already been outdated concepts for centuries in Europe. Our ancestors were part of a social organization based on hierarchy and control, and instead of taking their cues from the Indigenous civilizations already thriving in the “new world” they went on to repeat the colonial pattern. Today, the challenge of our generation is to address the disconnect from our homelands, locate and heal old traumas and habits of colonization, and find valid ways to reclaim our bonds to place, while at the same time approaching restitution and making amends to Indigenous peoples.

 Rejecting Empire & Re-centering Indigenous Values

“Decolonization is not a process which solely entails Indigenous nations. All people have been distorted by colonialism. It affects us all, not only those whom it most severely oppresses.”[1]  
(Nora Butler Burke)  
 
In the process to evoke a postcolonial cosmovision and make transformative change, we can turn to the work of Indigenous scholars and activists, the “best of the new generation’s anti, non, de and un colonial thinking”[2] for inspirational frameworks. Wisdom is readily available from First Nation intellectuals, leaders, visionaries and public figures who excel in every location of society, making their mark with distinction after decades of oppression and exclusion.  
 
In “What is Indigenous Knowledge?” Semali & Kincheloe suggest three goals for studying Indigenous Knowledge: 

1) To help western peoples relate to their habitat in ways that are more harmonious, 
2) to liberate peoples who have been conquered by a modernist nation state system, and 
3) to provide a perspective on human experience that differs from western empirical science.[3] 

Enlarging our own transitions, community-building, and social justice movements with Indigenous Knowledge (IK) is a valid approach, and it is also to our benefit, as Leanne Betasamosake Simpson writes,  to learn about “Indigenous solutions to the problems continued colonialism creates.”[4]     

 
Re-centering Indigenous ethics does not give us permission to appropriate the spiritual or cultural property of First Nations, but is a recommendation to embrace Indigenous values such as reciprocity, balance, and respect for natural law. Without romanticizing, misinterpreting or denying the holocaust that occurred from colonization, it has been suggested that we look to the original peoples to learn how to thrive, survive and flourish, interconnected with the land and all life. After all, as outlined by Gustavo Esteva, everything we need for the paradigm shift is “already in place as it has been for millennia, being lived by Indigenous Knowledge and Indigenous people.”[5] 
 
Decolonization is most certainly the challenge all of us face today, and Indigenous scholars such as Taiaike Alfred,  John Mohawk and Robert Lovelace agree.  “Indigenous peoples and Settlers have our own histories, where those histories have led us, and where the possible futures might lie for us together. Because guess what, we are here and now, we’re not going to change that fact, but what we can do is change the possible futures that we face.”[6]  As we take on the work of becoming deeply bonded to the land in our uncolonization process, we are being invited to learn from the First Peoples in whose territories we are now living. In my own case, the Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg have been my greatest teachers.

Homecoming ~ Aurochs Underground Press


In this article, author and artist Pegi Eyers describes her experience of finding an authentic way of relating to the land as a person of Celtic descent in in her home of Ontario, Canada.  All illustrations are original mixed media artworks by Pegi Eyers.

Picture

Today, epic statements by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, James Dumont and other First Nations Elders, wisdom keepers and academics [3] are offering us a great blessing, with the implication that Indigeneity is the collective birthright of all humanity, and that we all have ancestral knowledge. Before the rise of monotheistic religions and techno-capitalism, all cultural groups were Indigenous, often matriarchal, and came from societies deeply connected to the land and the cycles of all life. At one time we all lived in tribal groups that acknowledged the sacred in every activity, and emphasized the bonds of the community over the cult of the individual. Our Indigenous world was perceived through our history, traditions and kinship groups, and we experienced deep relationships with the animals and the wild. We were comfortable in the natural world, and were in unity with the spirits, elementals, Ancestors and spiritual forces with whom we shared our lives. And yet, at some point in everyone’s history, Empire took hold and decimated our traditional, earth-connected way of life.

Today, we see that the drivers of manifest destiny and the myth of progress have created an illogical, unsustainable quagmire, destructive to all beings and ecosystems that share the planet. As societal problems worsen and environment degradation intensifies, we see that the dominant paradigm is unsustainable, and millions of us are waking up to the impossibility of continuing to believe in the imperialist lies of Empire. Our system of capitalism and endless growth is not compatible with the life-generating design and natural systems of the planet, and the sooner we come to terms with this, the better. The time has come to challenge the colonial legacy of domination, resource extraction, eco-fascism and corporatism, and to take responsibility for the fact that our society was created by an agenda of slavery, genocide and stolen land.

As we shake free of our colonial past, it is essential that we all become protectors of Mother Earth, to stop the destruction and plunder of what has become our ancestral lands as well. And as we actively move away from Empire and uncolonize, the original voices of First Nations – their history, narratives and experiences on the land – are of primary importance to us all. Beyond our urban cocoon we learn that Gaia is a four-season paradise, and that there are cultural groups who have lived on the land happily for millennia, and have survived and thrived and flourished. But more importantly, we learn that human beings are meant to honour the Earth in all we think, say and do, and that there is a better, more harmonious way for us to live, interconnected with the other-than-human world, and Earth Community.

Deep Times: A Journal of the Work that Reconnects


Picture
"Wild Companions" Nature Assemblage by Pegi Eyers

THE INTERBEING OF ANIMISM
Essay, Voice Recording & Illustrations by Pegi Eyers

This narrative shares a collection of “truth-tales” drawing on my encounters with the more-than-human world, and immersive experiences in nature. The embrace of the natural world, which welcomes us all back to the sacred circle, has been my greatest teacher. It is by sharing these stories that I found how my “conversations with the other” reflect the fourfold “Spiral” journey of The Work That Reconnects. Approaching the land with “Gratitude,” often seeking comfort from trauma or confusion, I’ve been blessed with the healing that nature provides. All of nature is speaking, and my explorations have gifted me with a receptivity to natural cycles, equanimity with the web of life, and an intrinsic sense of belonging. “Seeing with Ancient Eyes” and feeling a deep connection to the ancestors and primordial forces, I depart with new insights, and ways of being in the world. 
   

Truth-Tale  I wander far into the wilderness, to where it seems no human being could possibly have gone before. I wait quietly for something to happen.  And sure enough, although I can’t pinpoint the source, tiny bell-like notes rise up in a pure waterfall of sound, like seeds floating in an orbit, or circles of flowers chiming in bliss. Enchanted, and surrounded by harmonious bands of streaming blue and singing green, somehow I traverse bogs, meadows, and the antlers of branching trees, to find myself at my cabin door once again.

Picture
Many excellent definitions for “animism” exist today, as a key term for activating our most primal and authentic eco-selves in the wild. As we “return to the garden,” exploring narratives on animism are important for societies disconnected from the land.  But nothing can replace the wonder of direct experience!  Whether our starting point is curiosity and a willingness to seek encounters, or grief and deep despair, animism is as natural as the flowering of our senses. Simple, direct, immediate and profound, animism is as close to us as the green space, seasonal cycles, and other-than-human-world that surrounds us.
Experiencing the wonders of nature first-hand allows us to bypass linear thinking, and interpretations come easily with an undeniable “knowing,” or become clear over time.  Deeply personal messages and affinities are all around us, and the appearance and timing of phenomena like a rainbow, the cawing of a raven, patterns etched in sand, or the visitation of a snake can have great individual purpose and meaning.  As a companion to wild nature, I continue to feel, sense, observe and speak with other presences out on the land – creatures, deities, plant allies and archetypes. These encounters can be one-of-a-kind, or depending on the place, evolve over time with great care and devotion. As it was in ancient times, the other-than-human world embraces a host of endlessly expressive and individualistic living entities whose actions we may adore, emulate, decipher, or even influence! Our relationships with all energetic beings, whether spiritual or physical, indicates an acceptance of multiple realities in the world.

"Nesting" Nature Assemblage by Pegi Eyers

                    WELCOME TO THE MARCH 2023 ISSUE
                                        by Molly Brown


The theme for
 Deep Times March 2023 is "Emergence" which seems to be in the air these days, as humans grapple with ever more challenging crises –climate disruption and pollution of air, water, and soil; racism, oppression, and caste systems; financial/economic inequality and breakdown; species extinction, and so much more.  We obviously can’t resolve these crises with our current worldviews and institutions, so we must look beyond the known to what is trying to emerge from the living system of Earth.  That’s how living systems evolve: through creative and unpredictable emergence. 

Can we open ourselves to mystery and make ourselves available to support healthy emergence?  Many of the practices of Work That Reconnects help people do just that, often through the exercise of what Joanna calls our “moral imagination.”   Even though the poems and articles in this issue may not speak directly to emergence as a theme, they all have emerged from the creative life of the authors in response to themes, concepts, and practices of the Work That Reconnects.


The Spiral begins with gratitude, with poems by Kent Wittenburg and Patricia Samper celebrating trees and gardens, and Rebecca Selove describes how she sees our editorial team working with emergent strategy in our meetings. 

In Honoring Our Pain for the World, Leo Murray offers a “Dirge for the Ocean.”  Michael Wellman shares his understanding of the necessity of grieving that came through his graduate work and dissertation.  Kirsi Jansa eloquently describes her process in honoring her pain for the world, followed by Will Falk’s poem “Gaia’s got a lot to do.” 

Three poems by Andrea Bradney, Sophie Hayat, and Danielle Vogel invite us to See with New and Ancient Eyes.  Jessica Zeller challenges us to expand the boundaries of our identity and Pegi Eyers shares her “truth-tales” of immersive experiences in nature.  

Our Going Forth section shows how the Work That Reconnects can inspire and support: climate activism (by Kirsty Heron and Tom Deacon), sustainability researchers in academia (by Eileen Laurie),  and musical expression (by Linda Chase).  Poems by Cheryl Pallant and Susi Moser grace this theme as well. 

Michael Wellman explores identity and community in Evolving Edge.  Resources include a review of a new book by Debora Eden Tull and short reviews of books and magazines in “Our Editors Are Reading.”  The Network section features news of a Gaian Gathering, new website, and new Weavers.

May we support one another as we grapple with the Great Unraveling and work for the Great Turning, knowing that we can neither predict nor control what will emerge from the creative interactions of the living systems of Earth.

Picture

Deep Times offers nourishing articles, art, and poetry for people who have experienced the shift in perception evoked by the Work That Reconnects–of how life flows in relationships and systems, not isolated things, and how our selves are not separated from each other or Earth, but deeply interdependent. The journal provides brain-food, heart-food, and methods for those of us who are working to co-create life-sustaining, equitable cultures for all.  

​The title comes from what Joanna Macy calls “Deep Time” work, in which we reconnect with ancestors and future beings to guide and inspire us. 
Deep Times follows the Spiral of the Work That Reconnects, with articles and poems on Gratitude, Honoring Our Pain for the World, Seeing with New Eyes, and Going Forth.

           Ancestral Wisdom for the Modern World
​                                 
PEGI EYERS

It can be very challenging, if not impossible, to assume that we can reclaim our Indigeneity as European peoples.  The trail is very cold, Empire building has been going on for a very long time, and we may have to reach back in time to find pre-colonial societies.  But the good news is, that fragments of paganism and animism have been kept alivethrough the centuries in every European country, and this knowing has been passed down to us today, or we would not have the capacity right now to understand ourselves as earth-connected people. Deep-time knowing continues to live on in our dreams, in our souls, in our creativity, in our hearts, and even in our DNA as ancestral memories. As we revive our traditional practices – the songs, dances, foods, medicines, folk magic, ceremonies, and worldviews of our European ancestors – it is helpful to develop a foundation of pre-colonial animist or Indigenous Mind, that we may embrace as we continue on our path to cultural revival.

When we look back, every culture before colonization was earth-emergent worldwide, which means we took our cues from the natural world, and the land gave rise to our spiritual and cultural practices.  Origin stories, the tribal myths, the honoring of the ancestors, the healing practices, the oracles, the rituals, the ceremonies and women’s mysteries were all deeply interconnected with the homelands of a particular group. Also, the day-to-day needs of the collective such as food, clothing and material culture were sourced from centuries of connection to one particular place – what we now call “TEK” or traditional ecological knowledge. The most important stories and cultural keystones of the group were deeply embedded in place, and although migration did happen, the process of becoming deeply rooted would begin again, once the tribe was relocated.  Renewing these land-based spiritual and cultural practices are incredibly important today, as we see how the current paradigm is unsustainable, and already in a state of economic and environmental collapse. Indigenous worldviews and lifeways have stood the test of time for thousands of years, and will also be the lifeways that endure, long after this particular civilization is gone.

Kindred: A Vision, Practice and Identity

Reaching back to antiquity, but intensifying dramatically the last fifty-years, a dark spell has been cast, trapping and enchanting parents, children and their cultures, in a false vision of who we are together. Realizing that adult development is the prerequisite for child development, Kindred breaks that spell, awakening a completely different way to relate to each other, and to all of nature.   Michael Mendizza

​Fifty Reflections on Women, Power and Identity


University of Edinburgh/ Unbound


Picture

Including the essay "Dangerous White Woman!" by Pegi Eyers, the anthology "Dangerous Women" has been published in the USA as of March 7, 2023~! Asking "what does it mean to be a dangerous woman?" This powerful collection presents fifty answers to that question, reaching past media hyperbole to serious considerations on the conflicts and power dynamics that women experience today.

Writers, artists, politicians, journalists, performers and opinion-formers — including Irenosen Okojie, Jo Clifford, Pegi Eyers, Bidisha, Nada Awar Jarrar, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and many more — reflect on the long-standing idea that women, individually or collectively, constitute a threat. In doing so, they celebrate and give agency to the women who have been dismissed or trivialized for their power, talent and success — women who have been condemned for challenging the status quo. They reclaim the right to be dangerous~!

"The wide-ranging selections—which touch on ambivalence about maternity, the legacy of South African pop star Brenda Fassie, and the difficulty of getting a divorce in India—are rich with history and testify to the numerous ways women across the globe are challenging the patriarchy. Invigorating and incisive, these essays provide food for thought."  (Publishers Weekly)

PEGI EYERS


​"Normalizing Abuse: A Commentary on the Culture of Pervasive Abuse" by Karen Tate


All forms of abuse are rampant in our society, and stem from the origins of techno-capitalism that have abused both human beings and the land.  Contributors to Karen Tate's Normalizing Abuse were asked to provide short "rants" or descriptions of the abuse they have experienced on their life journey.   This is my story.  - PEGI EYERS

Picture
"Luxcondivis" by J. Kirk Richards

For centuries the patriarchal agenda has oppressed women, and monotheistic religions have invisibilized and co-opted women’s sacred mysteries in earth magic, healing, birth and communal child-raising. Over time the Euro-patriarchal ruling elites built Empire by converting nature into “lifeless resources,” and during the Enlightenment era fabricated “race theory” to include BIPOC in the same hegemonies of oppression and control. 

​
For millennia white women were the passive and suffering victims of Empire, but we have also been the “supporting cast” who internalized the values of the patriarchy and were complicit with the colonial directive. Due to the “patriarch within” or “internalized oppression” (take your pick) it has been my life experience that women can be the oppressors of other women.  
 

In a society built on a foundation of patriarchal control and 
intersectional oppressions, intergenerational trauma and PTSD are the norm. But strange to say, when looking back I faced more direct abuse from women than from men in my personal sphere. During the difficult puberty years I was bullied by a gang of other young girls, and at one point their well-placed kicks broke my baby finger. As a child and especially as a teenager, the women in my family were constantly telling me to “shut up” and “tone it down,” as “my opinion didn’t matter.”

As a young wandering hippie, the women I encountered would listen and share to a certain extent, but most offered no real sisterhood or support in a world desperate for security and social capital. 
When I worked for a well-known fashion designer in my late 20's, I was reminded on a daily basis that I didn’t “stack up” in terms of wealth, status or privilege, and there were so many abusive ad hominem attacks, I had to quit the job for my own self-preservation. 

Later in life, during my time as an Office Manager in the corporate sector, and then as an Independent Curator in the art world, I became used to other women seeing me as a rival instead of a collaborator. I experienced competition, tone policing, gaslighting, betrayal, ghosting, the denial of achievements, and the taboo (amounting to hatred) toward all women in leadership roles.  And I came to see that the maximum harm came from what women are most skilled at - the passive-aggressive dynamic.
​

These kinds of debilitating behaviors and unspoken taboos are still a given in many circles today, but things are finally shifting and changing. Abuse is always painful (especially for sensitives and empaths), but being acutely aware of how I was treated by other women allowed me to identify recurring patterns, and to avoid this toxicity in myself and others. 

I owe my sanity these days to the many kindred spirit sisters I have met, who have been doing the same transitional work. We debate like adults, 
agree to disagree, accept difference and still offer support, and continue to step forward into new territory – while still loving each other along the way.  With hands raised in gratitude and hope, here’s to our continued transformation.    PEGI EYERS

Feature Article for the Labyrinth Community Network of Ontario


Picture

Take your time, pace yourself,
there are healing powers within and without
.

​Spontaneously, these words spring to mind like an ancestor chanting, as I walk the curves of a labyrinth on the side of a windswept hill. The stone-set triskele pattern that my partner and I designed recalls our Celtic origins, and fills me with the triple joys of heritage, our home in the Otonabee watershed, and the panoramic scenery stretching for miles in all directions. Accompanied by birdsong and sheltered by a green canopy, entering the labyrinth is to find a zone beyond normal time and space, where cares and worries are left behind. And however the magic works, I always leave the winding trail with a new feeling or direction, and sometimes, with the answer to a question I don’t remember asking.     Read full article
