Tune in to this thought-provoking episode of Mother Tree Network and discover the power of voice, ancestral healing, and the journey to harmonizing our racially diverse ancestors within ourselves.

Tyger Blair is an actor and singer who now works in restorative justice and plant medicine healing.  In our conversation he shares his personal journey of self-discovery, starting in Ashland.Oregon and delving into the arts community, where they developed his voice and acting skills. 

As Tyger reflects on his experiences growing up as one of the few black individuals in Ashland, he highlights the healing embrace he received from the all-white community, setting him on a path of curiosity about his African heritage. 

His quest for knowledge led him to Africa and the teachings of Malidoma Some, igniting his passion for indigenous African Shamanic Technologies and gatekeeping to uplift the community. 

But the journey doesn't stop there. Tyger's exploration of indigenous practices expands beyond Africa, encompassing the Maria Sabina sacred mushroom tradition of Mesoamerica. 

Through this voyage, Tyger discusses the multifaceted nature of his identity, weaving together Native American, African, and Irish ancestors and cosmologies.
