"The descent turns on the inner gaze; it turns on our seeing."

We open this deeply reflective episode with Dajé sharing how her move to New Mexico and the powerful ‘desert medicine’ of the land have shaped her in recent years. Together, we explore the energies of both Coyote and Wolf, examining their contrasting influences and the interplay between masculine and feminine polarities. Dajé offers profound insights on reclaiming creative emergence and Vision in a culture often at odds with deep Soul Work, highlighting the Heart’s essential role in the visionary process and the radical, inherent Belonging we all share as children of Earth. We also probe the importance of the mythic Descent to Soul in accessing our truest Essence. Dajé reflects on the often-overlooked downsides of feedback culture and her ongoing contemplation of how to align her work more closely with her Essence. This episode invites listeners to acknowledge and embrace their inner wildness and creative genius, encouraging them to rise in their creations from deep, rooted depths. It offers rich reflections on creativity, transformation, and visionary liberation.
