Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of erbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with Cristina Trujillo. 
Cristina is an Alchemitrix, which signifies the ways she distills various lineages into her own platform (Phoenix House). These especially include the solar priestess lineage, sacred medicine work, and healing work with herbs and food. Responding to the needs of current times, she emphasizes the importance of integration, embodiment, and impeccability. 
She is an adopted member of the Native American Church and is legally approved and protected by this ministry as a medicine woman and Sacrament carrier. 
Cristina offers an impeccable container for ceremonial gatherings that honors authentic relationship, cultivates sacredness, and supports the restructuring of the cellular and light body matrix. Here, soul-family connection reignites. She also demystifies traditional practices that hold overlays unnecessary to our current times, bringing essential skills and inner navigation tools to help us all reconnect to our planet and embody our capacities as conscious co-creative beings. 
In her individual session work with people, Cristina serves as an oracle, open and receptive to higher aspects of consciousness delivering what is transmitted. The specifics of this intimate and intuitive work is unknown until the precise moment arrives when questions, curiosities, and/or concerns lead us forward. Through this process, what no longer serves can be released and restored to greater Divine alignment.

Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with Pegi Eyers. In her new book Ancient Spirit Rising Pegi Eyers examines the loss of our vital ethnocultural connection to tribe and place, and why there is a trend to borrow identities from other cultures. Join us for a provocative and informative discussion on white privilege, cultural appropriation and how modern spirituality has become a giant consumer marketplace! Pegi's research has uncovered improved strategies for intercultural competency with Turtle Island First Nations through social justice solidarity, anti-oppression work, allyship and reconciliation.  And as the paradigm shifts today to earth-connected sustainable community, in a fascinating twist Ancient Spirit Rising re-frames the Pagan and Goddess Spirituality movements as a response to the directive from Indigenous Elders to recover our own ancestral wisdom. From the wealth of resources available today, we can restore our ecocentric worldview and find an authentic self-identity from our own heritages in Old Europe, using the timeless values of Indigenous mind as our model.  Come back to your roots!
