Dogon Tribal Wisdom: The Myths of Time, Language & Selective History w/ Naba Iritah #489
The Life Stylist
The Problem With Cultural Appropriation
Cultural creation is the practice of learning indigenous ways and teachings. Many people who share that information get a lot of criticism because they're not originally from it. But I think there are also well-meaning people who want to serve humanity in the ways that you speak, he says.
Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to a guest whose wisdom and insights are truly unparalleled: Naba Iritah Shenmira. From the esteemed Dogon lineage of the Gulmu region in Africa, Naba Iritah is a healer who embodies a lineage that's deeply connected to ancestral knowledge and traditions.
After his father’s passing, Naba Iritah dedicated his life to claiming the initiatic heritage and healing knowledge of his bloodline in order to carry on the mission of his Ancestors, doing full health consultations and Bayuali Earth Energy Readings through Ankhkasta Natural Healing.
We discuss what it genuinely means to learn from indigenous cultures and the delicate balance between individualism and community that shapes cultures across the globe, touching upon the essence of humility and self-respect as non-negotiables when interacting with other cultures, the role of ego in spiritual processes, and the risks we face when commodifying cultural and spiritual practices.
Dive with us into the stories that shaped our modern world, and we venture to understand the collaborative nature and origin of the profound energies resonating from the pyramids and temples of the Nile Valley.
