Some reflections on ancestral inheritance and blessings relating top creativity as medicine.

What even is healing? 

We can only heal what's broken. Why are we so afraid to break?

We evolved in a deeper time, we evolved with the rhythms of the sun and the moon, of seasons, the hum of vistas of hot dusty rock, of  the song of the wind on ice tundras. we evolved in and with the elements of this earth, and invention, ritual, craft, the evolution of culture in any sense, evolved in deep time. 

Deep time is quite literally any time where the pedestrian experience of sequential, one thing following another time, dissolves. 

Poetic time.

Art time. 

Native time.

Children are in deep time up until 8 to ten or so. It’s when the only mode is now, there is no before or no later, everything sort of occurs simultaneously in a big bowl of ungraspable experience. there’s not a single person who doesn’t now this experience, it’s not mystical, it’s human. it’s the paradox of being here.

Humans learn with our senses. Artistic practice is embodiment. We've been raised in a culture that teaches us 'about' the world rather than a kinaesthetic engagement 'with' the world. 

Coming home to the body is the richest, wildest and most deliciously succulent journey a human can go on. It is just so exquisite to be alive as a human. Artistic practice is inherently feeling based and that's why people diminish it from the perspective of a disembodied society.

Come home baby, come home. 

The Embodied Vessel is launching this week. I cannot wait to be with you - with women.
