Ep. 37               The Wildish Nature               ~ following the sane, wild & creative in us ~                             Power of JoyJoy is powerful and emanating. If we did not have children in our midst, joy would not come as easy because they are the best carriers of an abundant joy that comes from living fully in the body, in emotions, in the sensual experience of being human. The power of joy easily transfers itself onto us through the uplifting beauty of nature, art, of creation and the wonders of this Earth! Joy can be fleeting or also a basic attitude towards life. Someone who seeks joy and finds it in the most impossible places will always attract more of it. It is an energetic power. Dive deeper with me to places I go in this episode that took me by surprise. The power of joy is a rich theme. Credits:Text written & spoken by: Esther MarionSong: ( parts of it) “Tomorrow” by Sweet Honey in the Rocksung by: Esther MarionPodcast recorded & produced by: Esther Marion www.esthermarion.com

Ep. 36          the Wildish Nature      ~ following the sane, wild & creative in us  ~              Gateway to Creative FlowThis episode dives into the beautiful gifts of creativity, whatever that is for each one of us. I believe that creativity is innate to us as human beings, since all about Divine Creation is a constant act of the Creative and we are part within it, therefore we are co-creators.There is also equally the force of destruction; and chaos and order play an important role in it. But I want to be encouraging to my fellow earth travelers who listen to my episodes. No matter what fascinates you or has been a long companion as your creative expression, or several skills that you are exploring and refining, it is a wonderful characteristic of human kind , that we are able to communicate with the Divine Creative Force through acts of co-creation. It is like a beloved that gives us challenges and bliss, inner struggles and ever new revelations. We are co-creators, never forget that. It is a gift to us that offers us to shape and mold, sketch and chisel, refine and deepen who we are. Credits:Text written and spoken by : Esther MarionDrumming, rhythms: Esther MarionPodcast recorded and produced by: Esther Marionwww.esthermarion.com

Ep. 33  The Wildish Nature            ~ following the sane, wild & creative in us ~                                                                SilenceThe world is on fire and there are storms all around us . Yet we need to make sure we stay grounded and centered and within our own truth. Or else we go mad with grief and despair. Women’s wisdom is much needed in these times of rape culture onto earth and humankind . Our fierce love for life and this very special planet is needed more than ever in whatever ways we can contribute through our work, passion, skills and expressions . May these wisdom teachings here ground and support you on your path . Poem by: Golondrina & Esther MarionSpeaking voice: Esther MarionVocals by : Esther MarionPodcast recorded & produced by: Esther Marionwww.esthermarion.com

Ep. 32    The Wildish Nature~following the sane, wild & creative in us ~                    PilgrimageCreating episodes about the sane, wild and creative we find through the Wildish Nature in and around us, definetly must include the Ocean. The Ultimate Wild Mother. She has powers to heal, nurture and provide ecstacy and yet she can take, cover and tear apart anything and will always represent the Great Mystery. Going to spend time by the Ocean has become like a pilgrimage to me. Like a good mother would, she has much to teach and give us.Text written by: Esther Marion & GolondrinaText spoken by: Esther MarionVocals, Drumming by: Esther Marion & GolondrinaPodcast recorded & produced by: Esther Marion www.esthermarion.com

       Ep. 31  The Wildish Nature ~following the sane, wild & creative in us~           The Mystical Shaman           In episode 28, called the Oracle, I present and encourage you in a playful way to explore wisdom teachings and self knowledge through Tarot or Oracle cards. Now I come back to read you from the Mystical Shaman Oracle deck once again, to discuss one of my favorite cards, the Mystical Shaman. You do not have to be a Shaman, Healer or Mystic to find yourself invited to explore within yourself and in your life a completelyf reeing reality that gives you space to not be bound to all the stories you tell yourself that you seem to be. If this life on Earth is but a dream, an illusion or maybe not or maybe it is…..What do we know? But why not entertain the idea that we could play and explore with complete open mindedness a whole new way to see ourselves?Text written by: Alberto Villoldo, Marcela Lobos, Colette Baron-ReidText read by: Esther MarionDrumming and vocals by: Esther Marion and GolondrinaPodcast produced by: Esther Marionwww.esthermarion.com

Ep. 30     The Wildish Nature~ following the sane, wild & creative in us ~                     PachaMamaWe all know the name of the great entity and power, called Mother Earth, called Gaia. Here I read directly to you from the words of the Shaman Alberto Villoldo, who has been trained and worked with Peruvian Shamans for decades. He created a booklet and an Oracle card deck with his wife Marcela Lobos, Colette Baron-Reid and Jena della Grottaglia. A very meaningful Wisdom teaching deck from the perspective of the cosmology of Peruvian Shamans. The idea that we as humans are held, loved and evolving within the Great Mother is essential to remember, celebrate and contemplate, if we want to align ourselves with a bigger truth that we are part of.  Text written by: Alberto Villoldo, Marcela Lobos and Colette Baron ReidText read by: Esther MarionFlamenco Song, Soleá by Encarna AnilloDrumming and vocals by: Esther Marion & GolondrinaPodcast produced by: Esther Marionwww.esthermarion.com

Ep. 29.               The Wildish Nature~following the sane, wild and creative in us~                                the Oracle Oracle and Tarot cards have been around for centuries all over the world. It is also a Shamanic tool and teaching. Many ancient cultures have created tools and ways to work with the great questions that humans ask themselves, and yet are faced with the mystery that life and creation will always present to us. Tarot and Oracle cards initiate a fascinating conversation we can have with our Higher Self, Collective Unconscious, or whatever you want to call it. Some cultures have always worked with the dream world, which flows from the same infinite Imaginal Realm.

Ep. 28                   The Wildish Nature         ~ following the sane, wild and creative in us~                                                            Sacred Theater, Act II Who would imagine that attending the “festival of the possible human being” at the Temple of Sophia, that one would be faced with one’s deepest grief, be taught wisdom teachings through telepathy and encounter the Goddess in her most majestic, powerful and wild version that leaves every festival attendant transformed forever? Come on the journey, be welcomed into the Great Temple, the Great Fortress, and experience through the eyes and hearts of the Earth travelers who have come here from afar.The possible human is still in the making. But the festival that gives all who are present the chance to be touched, changed, nurtured and elevated in ways they would never have imagined….that is the risk you take by coming along. It is exhilarating!Text written and read by: Esther MarionVocals by: Esther Marion & GolondrinaPodcast produced by: Esther Marionwww.esthermarion.com
