What [http://awakeningthehorse.wordpress.com Awakening the Horse People] does
* Work with European-descended people to help them learn their original cultures
** Where knowledge has been “lost,” go to ancestral places and listen to the Earth and animals, which store the knowledge
*** But you have to learn from indigenes how to do it, because Europeans have been separated from place and traumatized for thousands of years
* Work with ecovillages to start a movement to return land to indigenous peoples
** Looking for temporary membership at Tryon to work on this
Response to SolSeed
* Please make a plan for how your ecovillage will be in right relationship with the native people of the place
* Have you asked Gaia whether she wants to give birth?
** Eric: Yes, and received the answer that she very much does
** Ben later asked Eric what he meant, and he said he found this answer in reading about geological history
* Western culture has a pattern of saying “we have the right way, let’s spread it everywhere”
** Other planets have their own spirits and dreams for what they want to become
* Do you have an analysis of white privilege?
** Ben: We're working on it
