Listen "Roots of Addiction "
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode, I explore the connection between the disconnect from wisdom, truth, and clear vision and how this disconnection contributes to the pain that leads to addictive behaviors. This disconnection stems from the widespread cultural genocide experienced by Native Peoples in North America and other colonized populations worldwide, particularly through the boarding school system. These schools were designed to assimilate Native People into the so-called dominant culture by denying youth access to their cultural norms, behaviors, worldview, and, most importantly, their spiritual awareness of the nature of all things. This spiritual awareness—accompanied by inner peace—is a natural worldview cultivated through the stillness of mind found in tribal life and a deep, enduring connection to nature.
