Belonging. Not the performance of it. The actual felt sense of it in your body. In this episode I talk about what belonging really is as a regulated nervous system state, not just a feeling of being liked. I share why Brené Brown's distinction between belonging and fitting in changed one of my core filters for how I spend my time. I talk about the small community moments, like the Squamish acknowledgement nod, that quietly shaped my sense of home over 20 years of living here. Then I go somewhere more personal. Last summer a friend said something to me in the car that I hadn't been able to say to myself. That my deepest place of not belonging lives inside my own Indigenous reconnection journey as a Swampy Cree woman. I share what that revelation felt like, what I have been doing with it, and how spirit responded by leading me to a 50 year old book called The Wishing Bone Cycle: Narrative Poems From the Swampy Cree Indians. I close with a reading of the Turtle poem and an invitation: scan the room wherever you are and make someone belong. Even just for a minute.","meta_description":"I am coming off of hosting my fourth Sacred Spirit Retreat and I wanted to share what I opened the retreat with because I think it is something a lot of u…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1591,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/spirit-school-850490/episodes/belonging-is-not-a-modern-longing/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/spirit-school-850490/belonging-is-not-a-modern-longing.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
