In our latest episode, "Sharing the Sacred Wisdom of the Grandmother's," I had an amazing conversation with Heather Hall Dudney about what it was like growing up the daughter of a world renowned medicine woman, Grandmother Flordemayo and how her mother’s teachings shaped who she became.
We discussed the value of seeking wisdom from indigenous grandmothers, the importance of supporting elders, and the joy of sharing positive wisdom in today's chaotic world.
Heather shares the story of “The Path”, Grandmother Flordemayo’s vision, their non-profit and the seed temple that is her mother’s legacy and we take you behind the scenes of our time together supporting these elders in Miami and Sedona. You’ll love how funny our stories are!
We also invite you to come join us for a variety of events with the Grandmother’s this fall in Sedona, Santa Fe, Michigan and Rhode Island.
Here are the key takeaways from our discussion:
🔹 Seek Wisdom from Indigenous Grandmothers: Heather shared her experiences traveling with her mother and other indigenous Grandmothers like Grandmother Moetu who is Maori, and Grandmother Unci Rita who is Lakota. She emphasized the simplicity and effectiveness of the wisdom they share any why it’s so important to embrace one's cultural heritage and learn from the teachings of indigenous grandmothers.
🔹 Support Elders: She offered us the respectful etiquette of offering support at events involving elders and indigenous groups, highlighting the significance of reciprocity, gratitude, and financial contributions. Additionally, we discussed promoting events and shifting focus to support wisdom keepers and their valuable teachings.
🔹 Embrace Positive Wisdom: In today's world, it's crucial to spread acts of kindness, support elders, and share positive wisdom on social media to maintain a positive and connected mindset amidst chaos. Embracing the humility and resilience of the grandmothers can bring profound learning experiences and personal growth.
