VA 4, Ep. 9 Mother Earth Calling: Let’s Work!
Thursday Apr 21, 2022
Thursday Apr 21, 2022
This is a long episode in which I honor Earth Day, and celebrate two years of Victoria Amazonica. I think long and deeply about work. I start by sharing a summary of my work life and my current daily routine, in which I realize after being a Teacher for most of my life, I have become a Student, and Nature is my Master. Humans are no longer my bosses, I work for life, for love and to remain connected to the web of life.
I share two stories of resilience and that exemplify the concept of social design, in which moments of social breakdown, when the habitual mode of being in the world is being disrupted become the opportunities for new ways of living to emerge.
We listen to the women who led the first initiative in North Dakota, to the leaders of the Apiwtxa, who voice their message and invite us all to join them to change history and heal the Earth.
Mother Earth is calling throughout, proposing that we all get to Work!

VA4, Ep. 8 ES El Testamento de lo Vivido
Tuesday Apr 12, 2022
Tuesday Apr 12, 2022
Nuestro tema es la Comida. Comienzo contándote acerca de la Victoria Amazónica que hizo posible que nosotros sobreviviéramos en el ambiente hostil que constituye el Amazonas. Con Tomasita, te invito a conocer algunos de los alimentos y preparaciones que las comunidades indígenas han ideado para subsistir dentro de su medio ambiente. Al recordar las palabras de El Profeta al respecto, propongo regresar a una relación más sana con nuestros alimentos, de manera que podamos restaurar los entornos naturales de nuestro planeta. Concluyo guiándote en un regalo sensorial que you llamo El Testamento de lo Vivido, para celebrar nuestro episodio #101.

VA4, Ep. 8 The Living Will, (Ep. 100!)
Wednesday Apr 06, 2022
Wednesday Apr 06, 2022
Our topic is Food. I start by honoring the Victoria Amazonica who made it possible for us to thrive in the hostile environment that the Amazon is, Tomasita. With her, I invite you find out about the food and preparations that indigenous people have mastered within their natural surroundings. As we revisit The Prophet’s words on the topic, I propose returning to a healthier relationship to food in order to restore our depleted planet, and I guide you on a sensorial reboot that I call, The Living Will, which is my gift to you in order to celebrate my 100th Episode.

VA 4, Ep. 7 ES Manos y Corazones Abiertos
Tuesday Mar 29, 2022
Tuesday Mar 29, 2022
En el Ep. 7, exploro el tema de la Generosidad. Te presento un amigo mío, Adam Tutor, y tú eres el invitado de honor para asistir a su despedida, durante la cual nos regaló su música, su presencia y nos guió en meditación. Es mucho más significativo ser testigos del acot de dar que tratar de describirlo, pero las palabras de El Profeta son el complemento perfecto a esta ceremonia en la que abundó la generosidad y por eso la comparto contigo.
Al finalizar mis palabras, te pregunto: ¿Qué más puedo dar hoy?

VA 4, Ep. 7 Open Hands and Hearts
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
In ep. 7, I explore the topic of Generosity. I introduce you to a singular friend of mine, Adam Tutor, and you are invited as a guest of honor to share his farewell gathering, in which he gifted us with his music, his presence and meditation. It is so much more meaningful to witness giving than to try to describe it, but The Prophet’s words are the perfect complement to this ceremony of generosity of spirit that I share with you.
At the end of my storytelling, I ask “What else might we give today?”

VA4, Ep. 6 ES Los Custodios del Fuego
Tuesday Mar 15, 2022
Tuesday Mar 15, 2022
En un momento particularmente complejo de nuestra historia, honro a nuestras semillas sagradas, los Niños. Para hacerlo, comparto las coincidencias de muchos mitos de origen de diferentes culturas aborígenes del mundo y me baso específicamente en un libro llamado Los Custodios del Fuego, el que se convierte en una invitación para que todos permanezcamos estables y centrados, enfocados en permanecer presentes para los pequeños que hay en nuestras vidas, que nos necesitan para que les proporcionemos seguridad y amor. Todos estamos llamados a ser luz aún cuando abundan las tinieblas, o como dice El Profeta, arcos certeros para las flechas que nuestros hijos constituyen.

VA 4, Ep. 6 The Keepers of the Fire
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
In a particularly convoluted moment of our history, I honor our sacred seeds, Children. I also revisit the confluence of many stories around the world, mythologies of native people and many other cultures by sharing The Keepers of the Fire, which becomes an invitation for us all to remain stable and centered, focused on being present for the children among us, who need us to provide safety and love. We are each called to be light even in the darkest of times; or stable bows for the arrows that our little ones become, in the words of the Prophet.

VA4, Ep.5 ES Permite que Haya Espacios entre tus Dualidades
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Monday Feb 28, 2022
En este episodio, le rindo homenaje a la dualidad. La versión en inglés la pubiqué precisamente, el 2-22-22. La semana pasada había comenzado a tejer la red del Amor que sostiene las relaciones de todo tipo. En este, comparto sueños recientes, ricos en significados y metáforas, y narro la historia de amor que comparten la Selva Amazónica y su consorte, el Río, y de paso aprendemos, sobre los diferentes tipos de selva que componen la Cuenca Amazónica, cada una de ellas se alimenta del río que la atraviesa como un cordón umbilical, haciendo posible la abundancia de vida que la caracteriza.
¡Esta aventura va a ser inolvidable!
