#90 Sherri Mitchell: Finding Groundedness for New Stories to Emerge

Sherri Mitchell is the Founding Director of the Land Peace Foundation, an organization dedicated to the global protection of Indigenous land and water rights and the preservation of the Indigenous way of life. Sherri is an author and cohost of the syndicated radio program Love (and revolution) Radio, which focuses on real-life stories of heart-based activism and revolutionary spiritual change. She was born and raised on the Penobscot Indian reservation (Penawahpskek). She speaks and teaches around the world on issues of Indigenous rights, environmental justice, and spiritual change. 

After her previous appearance on episode 68, Sherri returns to the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

• “Start thinking about who are we beyond the stories that we tell”, including the narratives carried forward from problematic pasts.
• Learning to “sit in a space of rootedness and visualize the world that we most want to inhabit, then become a citizen who is able to live there, in a peaceful, just and equitable way”
• Getting energy from aligning ourselves with “those energies that were creating something new, that were about imagining and building the possibility of a new reality”
• Being conscious of our use of technology and aiming to “reconnect our bodies to the earth” and its teachings
