“In just about every indigenous culture in the world that has managed to still exist and survive, dreaming is at the center. We’re really the dominant culture, the only culture that dismisses and devalues dreams.” Toko-pa Turner

About this interview:
What if our dreams were not just fragments of the night, but guiding voices for our lives and communities? Toko-pa Turner, Canadian author and internationally celebrated dreamworker, is the award-winning author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home and The Dreaming Way: Courting the Wisdom of Dreams. 
In this TIMELESS, she reminds us that dreaming is a language of the soul, one that reconnects us to belonging, to the earth and to each other.
In How to Work With Dreams as a Daily Language , we explore how exile and belonging are intertwined, how grief holds essential medicine, and how dreams reveal the hidden threads of our shared psychic ecosystem.
We hope that hearing just this small part will give you space to contemplate, integrate and embody what is shared here.
“The front lines of any kind of activism are actually on the interior. I believe that action should be taken not from a place of urgency, desperation or fear of things going wrong, but actually should come out of one’s own psychic prompting.” Toko-pa Turner
