Episode 1: Calling All Medicine Women

Mother Earth is calling us. Will you answer the call? Medicine Woman show invites you wisdom that our ancestors knew for living in harmony with all of our relations.

In this first episode, you are invited to a series of initiations that set you on the path to becoming a medicine person. You cannot turn back once you say yes and move through these initiations--so be sure of your Sacred Yes!

During this episode, we give a brief history of why there are so few active medicine people on the planet compared with the population. We learn about the primary qualities of a medicine person that will help us all move through the challenging times ahead on Earth. You will experience a ritual to open sacred space that will change your life if you perform the ritual daily. And we glimpse a rare view of the Kogi medicine women in a sacred ceremony.

We hear from Mary Olivar, Vice President of the Center for Shamanic Education and Exchange about their program to fortify Kogi Spiritual Women’s Wisdom in Colombia. In collaboration with the Kogi Nation, CSEE has worked to deepen and share spiritual midwifery practices among the Kogi in Colombia, celebrating the sacred wisdom passed down by the holy women of the Kogi.
