Returning to First Principles: Joining The Eternal Song and a Global Call for Collective Healing
A new film and gathering with Indigenous elders and wisdom-keepers invites us to remember, repair, and reimagine our path forward — together.
In the spirit of letting you on this list know what I’m up to in more detail than Zuckerbergian digital sharecropping allows, I’m honored to be part of The Eternal Song — a powerful new film and 7-day global gathering with Indigenous elders, healers, spiritual leaders, and trauma experts, happening online from TODAY June 3–9.
The documentary, filmed across 13 Indigenous territories, explores the deep wound of colonization and the path toward collective healing. Here’s the trailer.
For the past year or so I’ve been on a steep learning curve about how the “New World” and even our own US democracy came to be. So many of us are being called to return to First Principles, but that is not possible without the First Peoples from across the world. I shared some of this in my recent Bioneers keynote available on YouTube.
I’m humbled to be joining this program in conversation with Dr. José Barreiro who has been essential in my own education. Among too many accolades, he edited the book, Indian Roots of American Democracy. We’ll be talking about interdependence and how indigenous wisdom, properly received, can help us meet the conditions of the current multiple crises we have creator for ourselves.
This free online event includes:
Live sessions
Sacred teachings
Music and poetry offerings
Communal screenings of The Eternal Song
Go to https://theeternalsong.org/ to watch the trailer and see the full lineup of speakers and experiences.
Let’s come together in remembrance, healing, and kinship.
I hope to see you there.

Here’s a clip from my Bioneers keynote most relevant to this event. We are being called to re-member ourselves, our connection to each other and our Mother Earth. It can be challenging in the day to day distractions and high speed life we live. But let’s breathe into our truth together.
