In these times of collapse and renewal, humanity finds itself at a threshold. How we respond is up to us. Across the world, Indigenous peoples carry Earth-based wisdom for how we might meet this moment. Diné elder Pat McCabe speaks to these times with clarity and power.

Pat McCabe (Weyakpa Najin Win, Woman Stands Shining) is a mother, grandmother, ceremonial leader and a voice for global peace. Of the Diné Nation, she was adopted into the Lakota spiritual way of life. In this gathering, Pat joined Rachael Duffy and Michael Denmeade for a conversation on what it means to live in right relationship.

For Pat, the paradigm we live in is a choice. She invites us to explore how these times offer each of us a chance to step into a radically different way of being, a shift toward what Pat calls ‘omnibeneficence’, a state in which we are of benefit and blessing to all life.

We are being invited to take our place again in the Sacred Hoop of Life, to live as a good future ancestor, and to offer the unique medicine that is ours alone to give.
