Soul Dislocation and the Way Back

About this episode

Lorena Savvedra Smith discusses soul dislocation and the journey toward true healing through nature and ancestral wisdom.

Lorena Savvedra Smith talks about something most of us feel but can’t name: soul dislocation. That spiraling, fragmented feeling after a hard conversation. The numbness when the world feels like too much. Her ancestors had a name for it, and a way back. In this conversation, we explore why our rush to “heal” with ancient practices might be causing more harm, and how true healing asks us to stop running from nature’s power—and run toward it. 00:00 Introduction: The Ferocity of True Healing 03:54 What is Eco-Psychology? 06:02 Growing Up With Ancestral Wisdom 09:48 Nature: Grandmother and Ferocious Wind 14:57 Honoring Ancient Practices Without Colonizing Them 21:48 Lessons From the Elders: We Are All Family 26:07 The Jaguar’s Call: Running Toward What Frightens Us 29:33 Shaman or Priest?
