ep. #26
Ashley talks with Dr. Mia Hetenyi, a writer, ceremonialist, and grief doula.
Their conversation weaves through many topics, with a continued thread of the power of the wild world to support our grief and lives.
Topics we touch on :

- *Our sense of safety impacting how open we are to tuning into eros and aliveness in land
- *Ancestral connection to specific landscapes*
- *How nature can help us recalibrate our worthiness and belonging*
- *"Trauma doesn't exist in nature", grief and hard experiences move through the animal body*
- *Systemic racism and patriarchy impacting access to the wild*
- *The importance of children building relationships with the wild*
- *Ways that Hungarian culture honors death*
- *Redwood trees supporting Mia's capacity to get sober and grieve*
- *Addiction as a spiritual illness*
- *Feeling safe and held by sprit/nature/other as the groundwork for moving big feelings*
- *Cultural patterns of emotional suppression impacting our grief*
- *Building relationship to the divine mother, and healing the mother wound*
- *Meeting resistance to taking care of the body*
- *Lack of cultural containers for grief and the large amounts of unprocessed grief in this culture*
- *Grief opening our connection to our true self, and clarifying our relationships*
