Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse talks with Martín Prechtel for the full hour about grief and praise. Martín is a leading thinker, writer and teacher in the search for the Indigenous soul in all people — a dedicated student of eloquence, history, language and an ongoing fresh approach. In his native New Mexico, Martín teaches at his international school Bolad’s Kitchen, a hands-on historical and spiritual immersion into language, music, ritual, farming, cooking, smithing, natural colors, architecture, animal raising, clothing, tools, grief and humor to help people from many lands, cultures and backgrounds to remember and retain the majesty of their diverse origins while cultivating the flowering of integral culture in the present to grow a time of hope beyond our own.

Martín’s books include: “Secrets of the Talking Jaguar”; “Long Life, Honey in the Heart”: “The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun”; “Stealing Benefacio’s Roses”; “The Unlikely Peace of Cuchumaquic” and “The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise.” His latest book, “Rescuing the Light: Quotes from the Oral Teachings of Martín Prechtel” was published in June 2021.
