How do you grieve a hurricane or natural disaster?
Is grief good?
Should you cry in front of your kids?
Check out this interview on the Mother Tree network podcast hosted by Aminata Desert Rose Plant Walker Fire Woman aka Dr. Amanda Kemp.
Josea warns listeners about the Hidden Dangers of Unprocessed Grief and how it can harm families and cause war and genocide.
Grief can feel like a hurricane; be sure to get support from a community or a therapist.
Grief expert Josea Crossley tells us healthy grief is all about letting energy move!
You can move energy by dancing, laughing, yoga, and crying.
The key is to feel a little at a time, as you go AND to join safe and consensual spaces with others who can hold you while you grieve.
Emoting all over the place can harm others (such as children).
Find out what to do with Big Feelings!
Unexpressed grief is dangerous!
It can destroy families and undermine your dreams.
The energy it takes to suppress grief, is energy that you don’t have to give to your children or grow your business.
It can show up as resentment, unworthiness, or feeling scattered.

How do you know if your ancestors are trying to get your attention?
What does it mean to be shamana or a shaman?
Is the Sirius Star System sending messages via pop music and Lee Harris’ the Z’s?
These are just some of the questions Mother Tree Network podcast host Aminata and special guest Rosemary Reyes consider in this gripping conversation.
Trigger alert–There is some mention of gun violence and a stalker.
Come to Healing Ancestor and liberation master class!

Rosemary Reyes is a shamanic practitioner and visual artist that employs animation, collage, drawing, and painting as sacred practices to communicate with ancestors. By engaging sacred and ritualistic indigenous practices to produce psychedelic imagery, the result is an attempt to unite her stratified ethnic origins and to transform the devastating legacy of colonization in the Caribbean into something beautiful and playful that looks to the future with a generous measure of optimism.

“The real kids don't have to work for love. It's us fake kids who got to be out here proving ourselves so that we don't get kicked out.”
Juneteeth is comin up! How will you honor this holiday, celebrating the emancipation of Black people after the Civil War?
In the latest episode of Mother Tree Network, I offer my Juneteenth reflections on Ancestors, Foster Care, and forgiveness.
I give you my intimate thoughts after sitting with Juneteenth in my body.
Here are three ways You Can Celebrate and Reflect on Juneteenth for people of all backgrounds:
- Acknowledge your capacity for horror and extraction. Befriend these aspects of yourself; find out what they need so they don’t have to cause harm to get your attention.
- Tap into your ancestors and ask for their message. It's an important step towards healing and understanding the significance of Juneteenth.
- We belong to each other. The illusion of not belonging comes from colonization, but we can heal by connecting to earth and all of our relations. This is not conceptual. Go outside!
Tune in to hear more inspiring insights!

In this intimate conversation, Anna Gatmon and I delve into the trauma experienced by nations, specifically Israel and Gaza, and how individuals like you and me can use to subtle activism to shift global consciousness towards peace and wholeness.
Subtle activism is all about using meditation, prayer, and focused intention to tap into the collective consciousness for guidance and then taking inspired action. It's a way of making a difference on a deeper, non-physical level.
Our conversation revolves around three questions:
1. How do we tap into our highest selves when we're facing collective trauma, like the conflicts between Israel and Gaza?
2. What is the Gaian Experiment and how can we use our free will to foster wholeness amidst suffering and separation?
3. How can we apply subtle activism to big issues like the Middle East conflict, and how
does it help in healing and transformation?
Anna’s Bio:
A former fashion model, Anna Gatmon, PhD, describes herself as a catalyst of transformation and spiritual guide. An engaging speaker with a unique life story, Anna has spent the last two decades on an inner quest into the workings of our world, the nature of reality, the significance of living through the current turbulent times, and the nature of suffering and transformation.

I can’t wait for you to hear this two-part conversation with former super model and modern day mystic, Dr. Anna Gatmon.
In part one we discuss Anna’s journey as an ugly duckling with a learning disability and painful family secrets that made her question her intelligence and her value.
Discovered in a Swedish drugstore as a teen, Anna went on to become an international model sensation. But she ultimately left the world of fashion for spiritual callings that included a stay at the Findhorn community in Scotland and now four books.
Anna shares with us hard won wisdom on:
How to avoid collapsing into your trauma story
How to make a one degree shift to change the trajectory of your whole life
4 Keys to Spiritual and Material wholeness
This is an inspiring conversation on finding wholeness and creating positive change, one degree at a time.
You’ll want to listen to the whole interview because Anna shares an inspiring story of a rescue Dog who shows how you can lure your most wounded parts into the light.

I had a deep and vulnerable conversation with Laura Hartley, Climate activist and Life Coach, about Acceptance as a Pathway to Transformation and Collective Liberation.
Acceptance is not giving up. Giving up implies a sense of resignation and defeat, often leading to inaction or a lack of engagement with the challenges at hand.
In contrast, acceptance is about understanding and acknowledging the reality of a situation while maintaining agency and openness to new possibilities.
We also discuss the long term effects of galvinizing people based on fear and anger ultimately leads to despair and a lack of imagination and joy.
🌟 Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:
1️⃣ Remember your story that is not yet complete. The story of the world and our lives is ongoing, offering us the potential to affect change.
2️⃣Enoughness before action: Don’t act from exhaustion. Get to a place of spaciousness and rest and then choose your action.
3️⃣Unlearning and understanding: Every individual in the pursuit of collective liberation has a unique responsibility to engage in unlearning toxic systems, honoring personal boundaries, and choosing the areas where they can make a meaningful impact without burning out.

🌼 First, let's understand the equinox - a day of equal light and darkness, offering us the opportunity to plant seeds of change and embody balance. As we move from the dormancy of winter to the vitality of spring, Aminata reminds us to align with nature's rhythms and honor our own season of life. #Balance #Nature

Do you ever wonder why you keep getting burnt out?
Have you ever felt like nothing works when you initiate it, but when you respond to an invitation that’s where you shine?
According to Pame Barba, it’s not you.
It might be your soul’s blueprint or human design.
We all have different energy flows, and forcing yourself to be a Type A aka Manifestor Type might be killing you!
In our latest podcast episode, Aminata Desert Rose engages in a deep conversation with the insightful Pame Barba, a human design expert, about the power of human design in understanding our individual blueprints and finding our true purpose.
Pame Barba shares how she burnt out early in her career in tech and even in her own business, but she could not understand why.
Until she discovered her energetic design.
Listen in as Pame shares the different human design types—Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, Reflectors, and Manifesting Generators.
When you know more about your design, you can trust yourself.
You know when to push and when to back off.
You can stop comparing yourself to other people and play to your strengths.
Pame emphasizes the importance of leadership support and shares her insights on how human design can help leaders and entrepreneurs identify their strengths and operate more efficiently.
In this episode, Aminata and Pame bring to light the potential of human design as a tool for self-validation and understanding, allowing us to accept and embrace our natural tendencies.

Welcome to Season Two of the Mother Tree podcast!
This episode is a combination of two conversations I had with author and wisdom keeper Jojopahmaria Nsoroma.
In part one Jojopah and I delve deep into embracing self-mastery, healing the pain body, and ascending to higher timelines. The conversation is an enlightening journey filled with wisdom and insights that we can all apply to our own lives.
She shares her personal journey of transformation, from breaking free of the strong Black woman stereotype to reconnecting with her ancestral wisdom and the Dagara medicine wheel traditions.
Her book, "Wisdom Walk to Self Mastery," serves as a guide for those seeking holistic healing beyond traditional talk therapy.
During the episode, Jojopah explores the concept of timelines, highlighting the choice we have in determining which timeline - lower or higher octave - we want to embody.
She emphasizes the power of connecting with our divine consciousness and serving our purpose with love and community-centered focus.
Jojopah says: "We really are here to learn how to ascend in our consciousness during our lifetime. Where I start out as a child should not be where I I end up as an elder."
In part two, Jojopah answers questions from the Mother Tree community:
How do I create an altar?
Are ancestors the same as other divine helpers?
How do you hold space for others rather than trying to save them?

In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Matthew R. Reynolds. I reached out to Matthew after reading his weekly email where he spoke about envy and jealousy. But the first half of our conversation focuses on his father and reclaiming ancestors.
Matthew opens up about a longing he has carried with him throughout his life - a longing to know his father. As he shares his heartfelt desire to connect with his deceased father and explore the impact of his absence, we dive deep into the themes of internalized racial oppression and the capitalist system that perpetuates it.
Matthew's father passed away from Emphysema and COPD, and to honor him, Matthew takes a moment to say his father's name out loud.
We learn about his great-great-grandfather, who was a slave in Alabama, and how this past has strongly influenced his own father's life and subsequently Matthew's own.
As the conversation unfolds, Amanda and Matthew share their experiences of connecting with their ancestors. Amanda reveals her deep connection with trees as her ancestors, while Matthew reflects on his Irish ancestry and the importance of standing by trees. The belief that we are all connected, made of stardust, forms the foundation of their discussion.
As we journey through Matthew's exploration of his father's life, we also find ourselves transported to the awe-inspiring beauty of the big island of Hawaii where Matthew resides.
But the conversation doesn't end there. Aminata and Matthew discuss dance and theater as a form of healing abuse, racism and intergenerational trauma.
In the second half, Matthew reframes our perceptions of jealousy and envy. He encourages us to question the definition of success imposed upon us by society and to explore our own unique paths. Matthew also offers a powerful acronym for FAIL: "first attempt in learning."
Matthew also emphasizes accountability as a positive in our journey towards authenticity. We all need supportive communities and coaches who can help us navigate our shadows and empower us to stay true to ourselves and achieve our fullest potential.
Matthew also invites us to embrace difficulty and discomfort because they can lead us to profound personal and collective transformation.
So, grab a cup of tea, find a comfortable spot, and join us as we explore the intertwined threads of ancestry, healing, and the complex emotions of envy and jealousy. Welcome to the Mother Tree Network!
Matthew’s Bio
Matthew currently works with groups of people (organizations and "trusted circles") on developing their Equity Lens to develop humanity-led equity, connection, and thought in facilitated safe(r) spaces. He is the author of BIGGEST, FULLEST, BRIGHTEST: Shifting the Consciousness of Humanity.

"A lot of people don't stop to think about the historical trauma that black people face or could possibly be retriggered by going into these Nature's faces and seeing the trees and seeing the moss hanging from the trees to be transported to the conversations of lynching."--Chris Omni
"Happiness happens to you. Joy happens within you. So it is very possible to hold both joy and pain in the same body at the same time."--Chris Omni
🌿🌻 Let's talk about the POWER of BLACK JOY! 🌻🌿
Amanda Aminata recently had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Chris Omni, the "health hippie" and black joy scholar, on the Mother Tree Network. Their conversation was nothing short of INSPIRING! 🙌
Dr. Omni spoke about turning 49 and how this milestone is aligned with awareness and spiritual connection. She reminded us that "your vibe attracts your tribe!” 🌀✨
But wait, there's more! She distinguished between happiness and joy, emphasizing that joy is collective. Joy happens within you but is also shared among your tribe—B L A C K joy. 🖤
The conversation delved deep into the collective nature of black joy, supporting the strong black woman phenomena. Dr. Omni highlighted the ability to carry joy and pain simultaneously. The strength in that duality is truly remarkable! 💪
When asked about cultivating joy from within, Dr. Omni alluded to taking one day at a time. 🌟
Then the conversation took a pivot, shedding light on the deficit narrative perpetuated in public health research about the black community. Shocking stats were shared—higher likelihood of certain illnesses among black women compared to their white counterparts. 😞
BUT, Dr. Chris Omni...Drumroll please...proposed a way to SHIFT the narrative! 🥁
She conducted a study on black joy in green spaces, using arts-based research methods. And guess what? The healing power of nature was profound! 🌿
From there, the discussion bloomed into cultivating gratitude and joy over time, nurturing it like a garden. 🌻
Amanda Aminata added a beautiful note about the importance of slowing down and connecting with nature, connecting to Dr. Omni's love for turtles and his research on black joy in green spaces. 🐢🍃
Dr. Omni chose to focus on Black Joy in her research to counteract the deficit narrative often associated with the black community in public health, aiming to address health disparities. 🙏
Finally, they delve into the intersection of Kwanzaa values and their influence on the concept of black joy. Dr. Omni shares her “Kojima Theory” of collective self-motivation, which incorporates the principles of Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), and Kuumba (creativity).
As they discuss the importance of pleasure and joy in one's work, we also celebrate Dr. Omni's groundbreaking achievement of co-creating the first-ever journal dedicated exclusively to black joy. Their conversation serves as a powerful testament to the significance of reframing narratives and the impact of joy-centered research.
This conversation truly celebrated the beauty of black joy and left us feeling INSPIRED to nurture our joy, one day at a time –far and wide! 🖤✨
