IN THE INTERVIEW:

Mariee never dreamed she’d be a musician & how that ended up happening
Mariee’s connection with her indigenous Mexican and American maternal ancestors and her Hungarian and Polish paternal ancestors
Songs pouring through you and the magical process of bringing something into being
When the ancestors choose one person in their lineage to drop their stories into
Ethnic stereotypes and what people will say to your face
Mariee’s work with the Nisenan, the native people of the lands she and I live on, and how growing up here she literally never knew there were remaining tribal members here
“I experienced so many spirits on the land that hadn’t been grieved”
Some deep medicine stories- how this podcast has changed Mariee’s life (so much interweaving serendipity, since her music opens and closes every episode)
How datura embedded into Mariee’s consciousness and how that plant relationship touched her life, even before she’d ever worked with the plant physically
The amazing ancestral vision Mariee was gifted that supports the music and voice medicine she carries in this lifetime
The different ways that people who come from lineages with unmetabolized grief and trauma [all of us] carry that ancestral inheritance
How magic and the synchronicities start showing up once we commit to following our soul calling
A digression on the Aquarian archetype
