The Mindful Minute has a NEW NAME and NEW LOOK! After 8 years, I have updated the name to more accurately reflect the content offered here. Welcome to Our Mindful Nature!
How many episodes can I devote to birds, you ask? Well, I haven’t found a limit yet…!
Today on Our Mindful Nature, we are talking about two of my favorite things - Divination and Birds!
Dr. Chanti Tacoronte-Perez is joining us to introduce a new somatic oracle deck titled Birdsong.
Dr. Chanti is a Cuban-American artist-author, ritualist, and non-clinical depth psychologist. She believes that images speak a profound language; her life’s work is a translator of the unseen and an advocate for the imaginal. She holds two master's degrees in Engaged Humanities and Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. In 2023 she completed her doctoral dissertation Navegando Liminal: Rituals to Translate the Image of the Wound. Her work and teaching follows and welcomes imagination, creativity, dreaming, and deep rest.
Within our conversation today, we explore:
Divination
Somatic wisdom and what happens when we tune into the body rather than the guide books
Listening
Trust
Translating the wisdom of our bodies and the natural world.
Birds, women & land
Dreams & the creative process
Migration, landlessness, and the meaning of home
At the end of today’s interview, Dr. Chanti guides a beautiful bird-meditation. So take a seat outside, make sure you have a bit of room to move, grab your journal, and join us!
