Shift from Western Mind to Ancestral Mind

Join host Victoria Sage for a Conversation with

Pegi Eyers

Author of Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community

Recorded Thursdays, February 20, February 27 and March 5, 2020

"As inaccessible as it may seem at times, a wealth of information can be found in our own ancestral knowledge(s)."

Within this webinar, Pegi shares with us why reclaiming our "Ancestral Mind" is essential to re-rooting ourselves and falling in love with the Earth again, to revere the many elements, manifestations, and creatures as sacred, and to return to peaceful co-existence and respect for all life.

To be in alignment with our own heritage is to find empowerment and actualization as a true human being.

Our reclaiming process also includes the re-inhabitation of place (or getting to know the unique features of our home landscape), and we have a responsibility to embrace geo-justice and the hard work of caring for and protecting the land.

Pegi speaks about how an authentic self-identity can be reconstructed from old/new earth-centered societies, using the timeless values of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) as a model.

Pegi Eyers is the author of the award-winning book Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community, a survey on social justice, decolonization, nature spirituality, earth-emergent healing and the holistic principles of sustainable living. Pegi self-identifies as a Celtic Animist, and is an advocate for the recovery of authentic ancestral wisdom and traditions for all people. She lives in the countryside on the outskirts of Nogojiwanong in Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg territory (Peterborough, Canada), on a hilltop with views reaching for miles in all directions.
