0:55
SPEAKER_01: Deep into the earth I go.
1:00
SPEAKER_01: Deep into the earth I know.
1:06
SPEAKER_01: Hold my hand, sister.
1:11
SPEAKER_01: Hold my hand.
1:16
SPEAKER_01: Hold my hand, brother.
1:21
SPEAKER_01: Hold my hand.
1:26
SPEAKER_01: Hello, sweethearts.
1:28
SPEAKER_02: Hello, pumpkins.
1:31
SPEAKER_02: Hello, out there.
1:32
SPEAKER_02: Hi, out there.
1:34
SPEAKER_02: Let's stay together.
1:36
SPEAKER_02: Let's stick together.
1:37
SPEAKER_02: Let's keep connecting.
1:41
SPEAKER_02: I'm singing that song because...
1:43
SPEAKER_02: I wanted to sing it as we went deep into the woods on Friday night in
1:49
SPEAKER_02: a show I was doing in the woods.
1:52
SPEAKER_02: But I forgot because there was so much that the audience brought with them
1:59
SPEAKER_02: and guiding the audience through a little hole I'd made in the bushes took all
2:04
SPEAKER_02: of my attention.
2:06
SPEAKER_02: So just for a sense of completion,
2:09
SPEAKER_02: I'm singing that now and And if you came out into the woods with me, thank you.
2:14
SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
2:17
SPEAKER_02: And if you didn't, I hope you come next time.
2:19
SPEAKER_02: The next one's on the 23rd of October.
2:21
SPEAKER_02: Get in touch and I'll give you the location.
2:27
SPEAKER_02: But oh, what to say about all of that.
2:30
SPEAKER_02: I've been avoiding doing this pod for lots of reasons.
2:35
SPEAKER_02: I got a message from a friend after the last pod saying that she felt that when
2:41
SPEAKER_02: a close friend had died that part of us goes out with them and
2:44
SPEAKER_02: that she didn't think I'd come back yet.
2:47
SPEAKER_02: So I've been thinking about that and then the longer I leave a pod the more kind
2:51
SPEAKER_02: of disparate the strands get and the more I have to say But that's what's life
2:56
SPEAKER_02: for me at the moment, being in the woods, telling stories on Friday night.
3:02
SPEAKER_02: And I made the wrong prayer.
3:05
SPEAKER_02: I made a prayer for people to get out into the woods.
3:08
SPEAKER_02: That was my intention.
3:09
SPEAKER_02: I wanted people to get out into the woods.
3:12
SPEAKER_02: And that definitely happened.
3:14
SPEAKER_02: A friend came the week before.
3:16
SPEAKER_02: She'd got the date wrong.
3:17
SPEAKER_02: Four people came but couldn't find us.
3:20
SPEAKER_02: I didn't make a clear enough prayer about us being all in the woods together,
3:24
SPEAKER_02: having a shared experience and for the ritual for the storytelling
3:31
SPEAKER_02: to go really well.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: And it was a great stumble trip.
3:36
SPEAKER_02: About the woods,
3:37
SPEAKER_02: but I had forgotten,
3:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm rusty, you know, that kind of maverick outdoor storytelling.
3:43
SPEAKER_02: I'd forgotten how to really hold and care for the audience and I don't feel I did
3:49
SPEAKER_02: a really great job of that, of really...
3:54
SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking about,
3:56
SPEAKER_02: I'm kind of rubbing my hands right now,
3:58
SPEAKER_02: just thinking about kind of creating this kind of depth and softness and safety
4:04
SPEAKER_02: for them to really get involved.
4:05
SPEAKER_02: And I realised that's what I want to do.
4:08
SPEAKER_02: I want to support people to have
4:13
SPEAKER_02: really connected, playful, energising, healing relationships.
4:21
SPEAKER_02: Fantastic experiences in the woods.
4:24
SPEAKER_02: So that's my prayer for next time.
4:27
SPEAKER_02: And we're past the equinox now and it does feel like the time that we're going deep
4:31
SPEAKER_02: into the earth,
4:32
SPEAKER_02: or at least I can feel a part of me that's going deep into the earth.
4:37
SPEAKER_02: And there's been lots of talk about this winter and I don't know
4:43
SPEAKER_02: if you've had this message someone's telling me about,
4:45
SPEAKER_02: you know, keep storing things in your house because...
4:50
SPEAKER_02: Because why?
4:51
SPEAKER_02: I'm not really sure actually because all kinds of different things could be going wrong.
4:56
SPEAKER_02: But what I am noticing and what I've noticed is that when we're frightened,
5:02
SPEAKER_02: we're really easy to control and that we've been controlled through fear.
5:08
SPEAKER_02: I certainly feel like I've been controlled through fear through most of my life.
5:13
SPEAKER_02: So, So I think the first thing,
5:18
SPEAKER_02: the first way for us to really,
5:20
SPEAKER_02: really look after ourselves is to keep kind of shaking off the fear and coming
5:28
SPEAKER_02: into our hearts and really making sure that we're well resourced in lots
5:35
SPEAKER_02: of different ways.
5:36
SPEAKER_02: What does being really well resourced look like for us, for me, for you?
5:40
SPEAKER_02: And I've been thinking about that and my I know my life goes much better
5:47
SPEAKER_02: when I'm connected on the inside and part of being connected on
5:52
SPEAKER_02: the inside is really kind of looking after my little places.
5:57
SPEAKER_02: I recently had a sexual encounter.
6:03
SPEAKER_02: It's just been a long time for me and I've dallied with different things,
6:06
SPEAKER_02: but I had a sexual encounter and after the event...
6:14
SPEAKER_02: The guy said to me, oh, we didn't have a chat about sexual health.
6:17
SPEAKER_02: And I said, oh, you don't need to worry about that.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: It's been years since I've had sex.
6:22
SPEAKER_02: And I said, all you need to worry about is cobwebs, which he looked a little bit startled about.
6:28
SPEAKER_02: And then he said to me, why haven't you had sex for years?
6:33
SPEAKER_02: That's, you know, why haven't you?
6:36
SPEAKER_02: And I said, oh, I just get really obsessed and attached to people.
6:39
SPEAKER_02: And then he started...
6:41
SPEAKER_02: He started to freak out.
6:43
SPEAKER_02: But that's not why I'm telling you this.
6:44
SPEAKER_02: I'm telling you this because somewhere in this process,
6:51
SPEAKER_02: I became in connection with a part of myself that she's about six
6:58
SPEAKER_02: and she's completely wrapped in bubble wrap.
7:01
SPEAKER_02: That's how I saw her.
7:01
SPEAKER_02: She was like wrapped in bubble wrap and And she doesn't,
7:06
SPEAKER_02: she feels very safe in this bubble wrap,
7:09
SPEAKER_02: but she's kind of ignoring the fact that she can't breathe,
7:12
SPEAKER_02: she can't see, she can't feel.
7:14
SPEAKER_02: And I feel like that fear place makes me nervous.
7:21
SPEAKER_02: So I've been unraveling and unwrapping her from her bubble wrap and pulling in light
7:31
SPEAKER_02: and wool and breathable,
7:33
SPEAKER_02: nourishing things to wrap around her that can make her feel safe and comfortable,
7:39
SPEAKER_02: but also to feel.
7:40
SPEAKER_02: I think it's very scary to feel right now because there's so much to feel.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: And so I'm doing things a little bit at a time and I'm thinking,
7:51
SPEAKER_02: wow, OK, there's a very young part in me.
7:54
SPEAKER_02: What does she need?
7:55
SPEAKER_02: What does she want?
7:57
SPEAKER_02: Through this winter, through this winter time.
7:59
SPEAKER_02: And I got to dancing.
8:01
SPEAKER_02: I want to dance.
8:02
SPEAKER_02: I really want to dance.
8:04
SPEAKER_02: So I've joined a Morris dancing side.
8:08
SPEAKER_02: And it's not a hanky waving.
8:10
SPEAKER_02: I mean, they might wave hankies, but you know what I mean, side.
8:13
SPEAKER_02: It's a really energetic,
8:16
SPEAKER_02: powerful side called the Savage Sisters, which reminds me of this song, you know...
8:24
SPEAKER_02: I am my mother's savage
8:27
SPEAKER_01: daughter, the one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones.
8:32
SPEAKER_01: I am my mother's savage daughter, I will knock up my hair, I won't lower my voice.
8:41
SPEAKER_02: So I've sung it very badly there.
8:42
SPEAKER_02: And at the end,
8:44
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to play your recording,
8:46
SPEAKER_02: which I haven't asked permission for,
8:47
SPEAKER_02: but I am going to play it because Windrith,
8:49
SPEAKER_02: who wrote that song,
8:51
SPEAKER_02: she's unwell, she's got dementia and she's got a GoFundMe page to support her.
8:56
SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to play it at the end and I'll link the GoFundMe page
8:59
SPEAKER_02: because I think it's a really, really...
9:01
SPEAKER_02: A song that's gone deep into the psyches of us savage daughters
9:09
SPEAKER_02: and I'm sure there's lots of people out there that would like to support her.
9:13
SPEAKER_02: And that song I sang at the beginning was by Teresa and I'm hoping I've emailed her
9:18
SPEAKER_02: to ask if I can play her version.
9:20
SPEAKER_02: I'm hoping by the end of recording this podcast she's got back to me.
9:23
SPEAKER_02: And all this is stirring in my story pot and it's stirring because one of the people
9:30
SPEAKER_02: that I collaborated with in the woods told me that they get very,
9:34
SPEAKER_02: very cold in the winter and very,
9:36
SPEAKER_02: very cold in the morning and that they think that's because they were in
9:40
SPEAKER_02: an incubator as a baby.
9:44
SPEAKER_02: And so my pot stirs.
9:46
SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking about the story of the Princess Blankets,
9:50
SPEAKER_02: who is so cold that the king says that it's by Carol Ann Duffy.
9:56
SPEAKER_02: It's not a traditional story.
9:58
SPEAKER_02: It's a picture book story.
9:59
SPEAKER_02: Beautiful story by Carol Ann Duffy.
10:04
SPEAKER_02: So the king says,
10:07
SPEAKER_02: if anyone could make my daughter warm,
10:09
SPEAKER_02: Then they can have anything they want, even unto half my kingdom.
10:13
SPEAKER_02: So this wizard comes,
10:14
SPEAKER_02: and I remember in the book,
10:15
SPEAKER_02: he's got a face, a nose like an aubergine, and he says, how cold are you?
10:20
SPEAKER_02: And she doesn't want him to win her.
10:24
SPEAKER_02: So she's making these challenges.
10:27
SPEAKER_02: She says I'm as cold as ice and he gathers up all the ice in the world and he throws
10:32
SPEAKER_02: on a blanket.
10:33
SPEAKER_02: I think that's the last one that kind of nearly kills her.
10:36
SPEAKER_02: She says I'm as cold as the earth and he pulls up all the earth so
10:39
SPEAKER_02: that no one can bury their dead and no one can plant their flowers and he flings
10:43
SPEAKER_02: on her.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: She says I'm as cold as the ocean and he scoops up All the water and like this,
10:49
SPEAKER_02: these blankets until she's completely stuck under all these blankets
10:54
SPEAKER_02: and he goes off.
10:56
SPEAKER_02: But the world is ravaged as our world is and is being ravaged.
11:05
SPEAKER_02: And then I was thinking about the story of Tam Lin.
11:08
SPEAKER_02: Tamlin goes into Fairy World and I was thinking about those stories where you go
11:13
SPEAKER_02: into Fairy World and you think you're there for a short amount of time but
11:16
SPEAKER_02: when you come back up lots of time has passed.
11:20
SPEAKER_02: I've talked about this before as a motif and I was just thinking
11:24
SPEAKER_02: about telling stories in the woods having these two stories going on where
11:28
SPEAKER_02: the world is being ravaged whilst this I feel like we,
11:31
SPEAKER_02: I, I'm in my own enchanted dream.
11:46
SPEAKER_02: I was talking to my friend, Stu,
11:48
SPEAKER_02: this morning,
11:49
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to play a poem from him later,
11:51
SPEAKER_02: and I was saying,
11:52
SPEAKER_02: I feel like it's just so entrenched in me,
11:56
SPEAKER_02: kind of, don't you worry your pretty little head, someone else will look after it.
12:01
SPEAKER_02: It's still quite stuck in me,
12:03
SPEAKER_02: and then it oscillates between, well,
12:04
SPEAKER_02: maybe I'm not attractive enough to be cared for,
12:07
SPEAKER_02: to be looked after,
12:09
SPEAKER_02: you know,
12:09
SPEAKER_02: where the kind of male Caring,
12:13
SPEAKER_02: structured aspect in me is completely
12:18
SPEAKER_02: inexperienced and I want to bring that out of
12:21
SPEAKER_02: the dream and into the earth and connect it with my feminine
12:29
SPEAKER_02: so
12:29
SPEAKER_02: that they can walk together for the rejuvenation of the planet.
12:33
SPEAKER_02: And that's the story that I'm working on.
12:36
SPEAKER_02: For my next woodland story...
12:39
SPEAKER_02: It's very much, you can hear me, can't you?
12:41
SPEAKER_02: I'm in an absolute kind of jumble jumble on the inside with my creativity
12:47
SPEAKER_02: and that's how it works,
12:48
SPEAKER_02: you know,
12:48
SPEAKER_02: a seed of an idea,
12:50
SPEAKER_02: another seed of an idea, dreaming, walking, going back to the woods.
12:54
SPEAKER_02: Working with different musicians, with whoever comes in to collaborate on this job.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: And in this last story sharing,
13:04
SPEAKER_02: this mythic walk I did in the woods,
13:06
SPEAKER_02: I had a section where we played a version of Grandmother's Footsteps and I realised
13:13
SPEAKER_02: that I hadn't created enough safety and enough sense of play and coherence for
13:22
SPEAKER_02: the whole audience to get involved and I suddenly got it kind of standing
13:29
SPEAKER_02: by these trees looking down at a group of people,
13:34
SPEAKER_02: how important it is for us in our lives to have this sort of Flexibility
13:40
SPEAKER_02: and lightness of play that helps us to respond to different situations,
13:44
SPEAKER_02: that helps us to see things,
13:46
SPEAKER_02: to keep us agile in all different ways and connects with our innocence
13:52
SPEAKER_02: and our younger places.
13:57
SPEAKER_02: So that's something I want to be working on this winter to just create such safety
14:03
SPEAKER_02: within the stories that I tell,
14:05
SPEAKER_02: that the audience can unravel, unpack,
14:09
SPEAKER_02: that they can play,
14:10
SPEAKER_02: that they can grieve,
14:10
SPEAKER_02: that they can feel,
14:12
SPEAKER_02: that they can laugh,
14:13
SPEAKER_02: that they can have a really big experience within the community.
14:20
SPEAKER_02: The field of the story that I'm telling.
14:23
SPEAKER_02: I know that that's possible because of the power of the women who run with
14:27
SPEAKER_02: the wolves groups that I have run,
14:29
SPEAKER_02: where we go through every story in the women who run with the wolves book
14:33
SPEAKER_02: and we use ritual, we use intention, you know, and they're very deep.
14:36
SPEAKER_02: Containers, don't get me wrong.
14:38
SPEAKER_02: And you can come.
14:40
SPEAKER_02: I've got one starting on the 2nd of November in Glastonbury.
14:43
SPEAKER_02: So if you're local and you want to come, it's over seven weeks.
14:47
SPEAKER_02: We meet up every week for seven weeks and go through the stories.
14:51
SPEAKER_02: And I know that a group of people, a group of strangers meeting in the woods are not going to...
14:58
SPEAKER_02: I have that depth but I do feel like there's a lot more that I can bring
15:03
SPEAKER_02: and I'm really excited about that to these one-off events.
15:07
SPEAKER_02: So in the spirit of bringing my dreamer and I mean dreamer in the sense
15:15
SPEAKER_02: of absence not a dreamer in the sense of
15:19
SPEAKER_02: Creation and listening to the liminal,
15:23
SPEAKER_02: I mean that bubble wrapped child who doesn't want to see or hear anything.
15:29
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to play you Stu, my friend Stu's poem.
15:35
SPEAKER_02: And I've left the preamble in because I like the contrast between his preamble and the poem.
15:41
SPEAKER_02: Anyway, let me play it for you.
15:44
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for coming, being part of this emergency public assembly in the Green Gathering.
15:51
SPEAKER_00: Really appreciate you all coming and being here and being here
15:53
SPEAKER_00: on this beautiful afternoon, taking your time.
15:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm Stu Basden.
15:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm one of the co-founders of Extinction Rebellion.
16:01
SPEAKER_00: Other things as well involved in fabric as well as the revolution in
16:04
SPEAKER_00: the 21st century or Rev 21 as it's called.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to give a little bit of a talk,
16:11
SPEAKER_00: the intro,
16:12
SPEAKER_00: and then pass over to Roger,
16:14
SPEAKER_00: then he passes back to me,
16:15
SPEAKER_00: and then we'll have an assembly and break into groups at that point,
16:18
SPEAKER_00: chat about stuff and figure out what we're doing.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, final reminder, take care of yourself, put sunscreen on if you need.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: If you at the back can't hear me at any point,
16:30
SPEAKER_00: do a hand signal, really obviously, to get us to speak up.
16:35
SPEAKER_00: Because keeping our voices loud can be difficult.
16:37
SPEAKER_00: And if you can't repeatedly hear, move yourself forward.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: And then you'll get closer and be able to hear, hopefully.

SPEAKER_02: for the earth,
20:26
SPEAKER_02: for the soil of the earth, for my people who live on this planet with me.
20:34
SPEAKER_02: What is going on?
20:35
SPEAKER_02: Like really opening my eyes to what is going on and
20:43
SPEAKER_02: Allowing the fear because I think it's like I just shut down
20:46
SPEAKER_02: because I don't know how to cope with the feelings.
20:49
SPEAKER_02: And then there's the feeling of hopelessness that I can't do anything about it.
20:53
SPEAKER_02: But I can because there's so many ways to come back to life.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: I think it's about coming back to life.
21:02
SPEAKER_02: And the ways I'm coming back to life is by reaching out to my community,
21:07
SPEAKER_02: getting to know my neighbours, gardening.
21:10
SPEAKER_02: And really trusting myself, my instincts and my life.
21:17
SPEAKER_02: So if there's any ways that you can do any other suggestions you've got,
21:21
SPEAKER_02: let's keep sharing our thinking,
21:24
SPEAKER_02: deepening our experiences,
21:27
SPEAKER_02: reaching out for what we want and what we need and collaborating.
21:31
SPEAKER_02: Let's keep pulling people in and turning up to other people's lives.
21:37
SPEAKER_02: So ideas and explorations and experimentations.
21:41
SPEAKER_02: I spoke to a school teacher recently
21:44
SPEAKER_02: and she was saying how children aren't joining clubs anymore.
21:47
SPEAKER_02: They're all going home on their computers.
21:51
SPEAKER_02: And I was thinking, well, are we,
21:52
SPEAKER_02: you know,
21:52
SPEAKER_02: as adults, are we role modelling joining clubs, being with people, playing?
21:58
SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't think we are.
21:59
SPEAKER_02: That was one of the reasons that led me to join the Morris dancing side.
22:04
SPEAKER_02: So on that note, come and join me.
22:07
SPEAKER_02: Come and join me.
22:08
SPEAKER_02: Come to one of my storytelling gigs.

SPEAKER_03: I will not lower my voice.
23:02
SPEAKER_03: My mother's child is a savage.
23:05
SPEAKER_03: She looks for her omens in the colors of stones,
23:09
SPEAKER_03: in the faces of cats,
23:11
SPEAKER_03: in the fall of feathers, in the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones.
23:17
SPEAKER_03: I am my mother's savage daughter, the one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones.
23:25
SPEAKER_03: I am my mother's savage daughter, I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice.
23:36
SPEAKER_03: My mother's child dances in darkness and sings heathen songs by the light of
23:43
SPEAKER_03: the moon and watches the stars and renames the planets and dreams she can reach them
23:50
SPEAKER_03: in some kind of room.
23:52
SPEAKER_03: I am my mother's savage daughter, the one who runs barefoot, cursing sharp stones.
24:00
SPEAKER_03: I am my mother's savage daughter, I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice.

SPEAKER_03: My mother's child curses too loud and too often.
24:15
SPEAKER_03: My mother's child laughs too hard and too long and howls at the moon and sleeps
24:22
SPEAKER_03: in ditches and clumsily raises her voice in this song.
24:27
SPEAKER_03: I am my mother's savage daughter, the one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones.
24:35
SPEAKER_03: I am my mother's savage daughter.
24:38
SPEAKER_03: I will not cut my hair.
24:40
SPEAKER_03: I will not lower my voice.
24:45
SPEAKER_03: Now we all are brought forth out of darkness and water,
24:49
SPEAKER_03: brought into this world through blood and through pain.
24:53
SPEAKER_03: And deep in our bones the old songs are waking, so sing them with voices of thunder and rain.
25:01
SPEAKER_03: We are our mothers, savage daughters, the ones who run barefoot cursing sharp stones.
25:09
SPEAKER_03: We are our mothers, savage daughters, we will not cut our hair, we will not lower up.
