Healing The Land, Healing Ourselves- Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet

Beschrijving

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] The fastest way to lose the future is to forget the past, what the land already taught our ancestors. Granddaughter Crow sits down with Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet, ecologist, educator, and community restoration practitioner, to explore why climate change adaptation is as much about relationship as it is about data. His book Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are brings “hard science” into conversation with Indigenous knowledge, history, and cultural resistance, insisting that restoration work has to heal people and place at the same time. We dig into how cycles and interdependence show up in both ecology and traditional teachings, and why linear “progress” can blind us to solutions that have worked for thousands of years. Dr. Martinet shares a powerful watershed restoration story from a legal water meeting where the default answer is bigger dams and bigger budgets, but the evidence points back to small rock dams placed high in the mountains. Those humble structures can slow runoff, increase infiltration, and bring back grasses, wildlife, and resilience, turning wounded land into a sponge again. From there, we widen the lens to common lands, biodiversity, and the overlooked history of communal stewardship across the world, including Europe. We also challenge the words we use, unpacking how language can be a companion of empire and how even the word “nature” can carry separation. Along the way, we talk about listening to the land’s soundscape and why the “languages of life” matter if we want real ecological restoration, sustainable futures, and community healing.

Bio: For over 24 years, Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet has been co-creating and implementing community-based ecological restoration and education projects across New Mexico and beyond. Helping communities restore land and water has been both his professional and personal passions and obligations since he can remember. His book: “Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are”, published by North Atlantic Books, is a culmination of his experiences working in community on projects to restore the land, but also attempts to situate ecological restoration into historical and cultural context in these tumultuous times. He received his doctorate in biology from the University of New Mexico where he focused on ecology, freshwater sciences and environmental education. Presently, he teaches a hands-on course at UNM on watershed and community restoration, and is planning to take students to do this work internationally. https://maceocm.com/ [https://maceocm.com/] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow] Granddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreon https://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow Check Out My Substack https://substack.com/@granddaughtercrow [https://substack.com/@granddaughtercrow] Social Media: @GranddaughterCrow YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrow Jenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/ Jenny’s Our Coven Community https://our-coven.mn.co/landing For more from Jenny: https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

How to Become a Ghost and MORE About the Afterlife - Samantha Corfield

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] Samantha is a spiritual counselor, educator, ordained minister, and PhD in theology and world religions, and she brings a rare mix of grounded care and mystic clarity. Her new book, Create Your Own Afterlife: Take Control of Life After Death, asks a bold question: what if the afterlife isn’t just something that happens to you, but something you can prepare for with intention? We talk about ancestors, the power of grandmothers as guides, and how early spiritual experiences can become a lifelong toolkit for grief support and life transitions. Then we dig into one of the most surprising ideas in the conversation: “ghost training.” Samantha explains why there are plenty of books on contacting spirits, but almost none on how to be a spirit responsibly. We explore how to plan the kinds of signs you might send after death, how different religions view ghosts and afterlife contact, and how thinking this through can deepen your relationships right now. We also go straight into the heavy stuff: guilt, fear of punishment, and what to do when you need to make amends but the person you hurt has already passed. Samantha shares practical ways to repair, release, and reclaim hope, plus a vision for placing afterlife resources in hospice care and cancer centers where people need them most. If you’ve been searching for afterlife planning, fear of death help, grief healing, or spiritual counseling that doesn’t talk down to you, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs steadier ground, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation. Bio: Samantha Corfield is a spiritual counselor, educator, and founder of Spellmaker, a metaphysical business she has operated since 1995. Over the years, she has worked closely with hundreds of individuals navigating uncertainty, grief, spiritual doubt, fear of death, and life transitions. Her book, Create Your Own Afterlife, encourages readers to examine mortality with curiosity rather than avoidance. Free from dogma yet respectful of diverse beliefs, the book provides reflective exercises designed to help readers release inherited fears, define their spiritual truth, and craft a meaningful afterlife vision rooted in personal authenticity. While completing the final edits of the manuscript, Samantha experienced the sudden loss of her grandson, Preston. In the midst of profound grief, she found herself returning to the very framework she had created. The exercises became grounding tools — helping her reconnect with love, memory, and present-moment awareness. That lived experience strengthened her conviction that imagining one’s afterlife can be stabilizing rather than escapist. Samantha’s work blends psychological insight, spiritual imagination, and practical reflection. She believes that facing mortality honestly can reduce anxiety, restore agency, and help people live more fully — and that planning one’s afterlife may be one of the most liberating acts of self-awareness a person can undertake. Samantha lives with her husband of 20 years, Matt, and their dog, Rosie. She also makes a mean gumbo.
