  • Songs pouring through you and the magical process of bringing something into being
  • When the ancestors choose one person in their lineage to drop their stories into
  • Ethnic stereotypes and what people will say to your face
  • Mariee's work with the Nisenan, the native people of the lands she and I live on, and how growing up here she literally never knew there were remaining tribal members here
  • "I experienced so many spirits on the land that hadn't been grieved"
  • Some deep medicine stories- how this podcast has changed Mariee's life (so much interweaving serendipity, since her music opens and closes every episode)
  • How datura embedded into Mariee's consciousness and how that plant relationship touched her life, even before she'd ever worked with the plant physically
  • The amazing ancestral vision Mariee was gifted that supports the music and voice medicine she carries in this lifetime
  • The different ways that people who come from lineages with unmetabolized grief and trauma [all of us] carry that ancestral inheritance
