Show Notes

Mimi is a Taiwanese Canadian, a shamanic intuitive and founder of CEREMONIE. Mimi works with a blend of modalities including core shamanism, plant spirit healing, ancestral wisdom, dream work, chaos magick, and other Chinese esoterics and divination practices.

We talk about the concept of “wu” in Chinese culture and its likely implications in our concept of “woo” or “woo-woo.”  We also get into some things that we’ve been observing with wellness culture --  the chief of which is the problem with approaching spirituality and spiritual practices from a “fast-food” perspective.  We discuss how to relate with grace and respect to practices that are not directly a part of our biological lineage and the braiding that’s inviting us to remember older ways of  being in connection to the place where we are and the land that we’re on.

WE DISCUSS

  • Her journey of learning to trust her intuition and accepting it as a gift
  • How she connects to her ancestral line through food
  • Her strong connection to the lunar calendar 
  • The concept of “wu” in Chinese culture and its likely implications in our concept of “woo” or “woo-woo”
  • The difficulty with our modern emphasis on specialization and how that differed from earlier ways of being 
  • The problem with approaching spirituality and spiritual practices from a “fast-food” perspective
  • How to relate with grace and respect to practices that are not directly a part of our biological lineage
  • What braiding we can do with returning to previous ways of relating to the world and modern innovations
  • How she is learning to mother herself in new ways
