Ep. 2: Medicine Bear Speaks Voices of the Land
In this episode of 'Medicine Bear Child Speaks Voices of the Land' on CFNU Radio, the discussion focused on the concept of shadow work and its implications in personal development and indigenous perspectives. The speakers explored the traditional understanding of shadow work as self-exploration and healing, contrasting it with modern interpretations. The conversation delved into deeper topics including language, cultural identity, and systemic control mechanisms. They discuss how institutional systems, particularly through language and education, create frameworks that control and limit individual potential. They emphasized the importance of understanding the four elements (water, earth, fire, air) in achieving personal sovereignty and breaking free from systemic control. The discussion highlighted how indigenous perspectives offer a different understanding of personal growth and healing compared to mainstream psychological approaches.
