I first experienced Kalpana’s healing presence during a Conscious Social Media Method group program – she was one of the first people to take it back when I launched it in 2019. This interview is a beautiful conversation spanning healing, connecting to your roots, and technology as a mirror for consciousness.
If you’re planning to listen to this conversation while driving, heads up: at 19:30, Kalpana guides us through a short meditation practice – please don’t do it while driving!
We discuss:
Our connection to nature in the digital age
Bringing indigenous perspectives to technology, business and branding
Technology as a pathway and a mirror for consciousness
What is ecosomatics?
Forming a relationship with nature through your body
Speaking to God through plants
Rituals of connecting to the land you’re on and your ancestral roots
Walking a path to remembering
Kalpana’s experience with reindigenization
The power of devotional singing
What it was like to grow up in Colombia and then move to Houston as a child
How Kalpana became a disciple of Amma, the hugging saint, and what her name means
What is it like to spend time at Amma’s ashram in India?
Living a devotional life
Bringing prayer with you everywhere you go
Holding the intention of being of highest service
Being with what is
Merging timelines
