Stay Curious & Open

I've lived internationally in Italy, Germany, Spain, England, and the Netherlands. Experiencing those cultures helped me see parallels and understand that this is part of the human condition: irrespective of cultural origin, people have a shared need to be seen, supported, and connected. In indigenous cultures, tribes had a chieftain, a shaman, and other categories represented, including wisdom keepers and two-spirited people, who were highly valued for balancing masculine and feminine energies. Children would learn from two-spirited people to better understand that balance. We've discarded much of that knowledge. Societies struggle to evolve because they haven't integrated these universal, effective principles.
