#25 A Bridge to Otherworldliness: Sylvie Zacrep in Missouri

Your Creative Sparks:

• There are many artful PATHWAYS to the experience of UNIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS.
• The MEDICINE of DIVERSITY - we distill “Spirit” down into different forms, but it’s all the SAME ESSENCE.
• The ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE is a metaphor for what is happening RIGHT NOW.

Let’s dive right off this bridge to being! The Crows lead Lobsterbird and Sylvie to Jackrabbit Bend: a surreal little cove with laughing waves, dead trees growing like dancing beings, and Salvador Dali’s third eye. Snuggle in the sand with Sylvie as we engage in some serious Earth Magic, celebrating the capacity of every being to belong and become free, mending the rift between worlds. We are definitely not in Kansas anymore! Leave us a Rating & Review!

Your Travelogue

• In this surreal location, Lobsterbird and Sylvie connect over Salvador Dali, whose art symbolized that the world is not as it seems. While he was able to portray the world as it really is, he portrayed it in a way that most people can’t really see it. [3:13]
• Sylvie found ballet to be a bridge, where she could be both tangible and intangible. She could be present in her body and expressing the more etheric realms simultaneously. The brain waves of ballet dancers doing advanced movement are the same brain waves as advanced meditation. [6:36]
• How important is a daily schedule? How do we organize something in our psyche to allow space for all that we want to experience. Can our schedule be a tether without becoming too rigid? [15:30]
• Connecting to a sense of “other-ness” - Our lineage is other-worldly as well as human. [24:00]
• Sylvie shares her journey to connectedness, as she went from being a hardcore atheist to holding ritual for the norse goddess Freya and celebrating the Celtic Wheel of the Year. [27:45]
• Being “off the path” is part of the path. [37:57]
• To mend the rift between the worlds is the ultimate medicine of the time. [45:55]
• What is embodied? How can we be human, be in these bodies, but also embodying and connecting to what more we really are? [52:32]
• Practicum: Rooting Down to Rise Up. Taking off your shoes, press the ball down of your foot down and raise the heel. Actively push into the earth so you can rise to the heavens. Make an intentional connection, a sharing of energy. It’s reciprocity. That relationship is intrinsic and can be cultivated. [58:35]
