What does it mean to belong to the wild? What does our exile and our sacred unbelonging have to do with our self-belonging? How to we face the loss that comes with moving out of false and old belonging into wild belonging?

These are some of the questions I explore in this episode. Wandering around the humble little story of the Ugly Duckling, this episode explores the complexities of true belonging, as well as the shadow side of belonging when it is used as weapon. We explore questions of exile, sacred unbelonging, self-belonging, and wild belonging as we move more and more out of domestication and obedience and into our wild belonging.

I also let you know that this fall I am offering another Gathering Bones Course through the School of Wild Knowing. If you love stories and find meaning in diving into their wisdom in community, this offering may interest you! I am offering an in-person group for folks in the Seattle area and also an online opportunity for folks farther away. Click here for more info!
