Over the past few months, I have journeyed to the Yukon in partnership with illuminating worldviews.

Illuminating worldviews serves as a space to examine the worldviews amidst which we find ourselves

and see how they actively

shape the material realities of our lives. This project, rooted and colored by the land of the

Yukon, makes space for questioning, examination, and a future visioning, centered in indigenous

ideology, and the sentiment of journeying.

In person and on the land, I've had the chance to speak with incredible thought leaders with

deep connections to the Yukon, all with a live audience in the beautiful city of Whitehorse,

except for the last event, which was in Dawson City. Though this series

is deeply local, it has broad implications for our culture as a whole, and I'm so excited to share

it with you. This series was produced thanks to the generous support of the team at Illuminating

World Views held by the River Collective and the Northern Council

for Global Cooperation. We are so grateful to the organizers, speakers, and audience members

who made this series possible. And also a very big thank you to the land of the Yukon,

the Boreal Forest, the rivers, the lakes. I am honored to have been asked to be part of this.

In this episode, I'm joined by Vanessa Anderode to speak about modernity, the necessity of endings, and the power of fluidity in approaching this world.

Vanessa and I immediately connected in the Yukon, and I am so happy to share this episode with you all.
