THE CLEARING WITH KATHERINE MAY
Kaitlin Curtice’s sanctuary of the subconscious
Hello,
Author, storyteller and enrolled citizen of the Potawatomi nation, Kaitlin Curtice shares her beautiful image of the perfect retreat, created by her own consciousness during the Covid pandemic.
Exploring this space together, we discuss the little-appreciated power of ageing, looking for stories beneath the stories, the art of listening, feeling the presence of the ancestors and asking permission from the stones and shells before you bring them home.
A wonderful episode of Indigenous wisdom, stillness and calm - the perfect moment of retreat.
