Honouring Ancestral Wisdom

There is much wisdom in the ancient traditions that are only now being widely rediscovered and recirculated. This talk reminds us of the principles to be found in the Aboriginal Tradition of the Australian continent and how we might benefit from this wisdom in our time.

Tony, I always wonder whether the ancestral wisdom of the majority of people running the world today was more like, “Use and control everything that you can, fight to have it all, and to hell with tomorrow.” It must have come from a sense of scarcity, despite the abundance all around.
Do you know the books of Robin Wall Kimmerer? She’s a Native American botanist and author, and she has written lovely meditative studies on plants. Her most recent book, Gathering Moss, is a delightful window on nature and thoughtful consideration of humans’ effects on it. It’s a quick read, and I bet you’d love it. Her earlier book, Braiding Sweetgrass, is also delightful and stirring, but is a serious tome, maybe 3 times as long as Gathering Moss.
Thanks as always for your wisdom, positivity and insights.
