Genius Loci x Genius Gens

Tune into a moment of the Make Conscious Circle: Decolonizing Ancestral Landscapes. This episode offers a taste of the meditation on Genius Loci and Genius Gens - the connection between spirit of the land and spirit of the ancestors.  As we make our holiday plans and slow down, this is an invitation to explore the realms of consciousness that lie beneath the surface of our life and work.    An ancestral landscape holds within it family histories and stories of the land of our ancestors. Whether you come from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, South America, Canada...the land of your ancestry intersects both with what remains and the legacy of erasure of culture, language, and history. As a graduate of a Western architecture school, it has been a 20 year journey to recognize the erasure of Chinese indigenous cultural narratives and building practices and regenerate a relationship to ancestral cultural traditions, paradigms, and cosmologies within my own psyche and creative process. In the process of reclaiming my own, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with and support the reclamation of cultures, ornament, and guides all over the world and become not just a designer but a steward-in-training of global ancestral architectures and landscapes. Though decolonization begins with your own consciousness and the inner landscape, we are not in this alone. Collective consciousness is collective solidarity. As you meet your ancestors, we meet them too. Investigating our collective Ancestral landscapes is a direct line to the reclamation of power and lost lineages, geometries, languages and transmissions for the benefit of the next seven generations.  Rebuild the matrix, regenerate the cosmos, and renew the earth. - Jessica Kung, Founder of Make Conscious

Expanding into Your Phenomenal Body

This is a deep dive follow up to the previous meditation, "What is the story of your body?" In this meditation we traverse the structures of consciousness that create your inter-relational and multi-dimensional body. Explore how a simple affirmation of what your body is can effloresce through time and space to generate a cosmic body. Your body is a portal to the cosmos.   Note: In the last minute of the meditation a 4 year old has a cameo. www.makeconscious.com

What is the story of your body?

How do you experience your body? How do you connect to energy? Join Jessica Kung Dreyfus for a 40 minute introduction to your phenomenal body. Excerpt: "What is the story of your body? You have one. You have constructed a narrative around your body. As you look at the narrative, look at how it's not actually a part of your body. That's the most fascinating thing. It's like in your mind. We'll try that a couple times. Examine the narrative that you tell. Look at how that story isn't actually in your body. It's a mental construct."
