Confronting Supremacy in Psychology and Spirituality

Daniel will share briefly about his own process, as a public figure and business owner, of gradually becoming more outspoken on matters of culture and systemic justice. Together we’ll wonder about the deafening silence from so many thought leaders, especially of European ancestries, in spiritual and psychological circles on topics like the genocides in Palestine and Sudan, rising fascism in many Western nations, and the ecological catastrophe of global capitalism. We’ll also explore strategies to try to usefully shift the balance in institutions and systems that are currently averse to proactive work for cultural change.

Hard truths may be expressed in this talk, and names may be named, but the approach will be constructive and solution-oriented, not righteous. We’re not down with cancel culture at Ancestral Medicine. Our time will allow for discussion and a bit of guided practice to make sure we’re listening to greater sources of guidance. There is no cost to join, and Ancestral Medicine is committed to keeping our solidarity tangible through regular donations to relief efforts and mutual aid in both Palestine and Sudan.
