Julia Neumann was interviewed by Millicent Haughey⁠ for this episode, as a special journey is taking form for her.
Julia speaks about her latest project of travelling, researching and documenting the indigeneity of Women: Indigenous Woman Documentary. It is a collective project emerging from Julia's Question of what it means to be indigenous as a Western Woman. Part of the journey is to radically trust that this initially personal journey is deeply relevant to many other women, and life on the planet.
The research is conducted by several Women and touches upon the pain of how the severing of Western...

RAW Voices brings you written words, read out loud by the author. This article is "Do not follow" by Millicent Haughey.

"Do not follow her when you see her walking ahead. Do not think that you are walking there too.

Do not give in.
Don’t let go.
Do not let go of something that is not yet here.
Do not decide that your life is over.
Do not...

In the late 1970s, at the age of 17, Olive Jones joined a communal living experiment in Nelson, living in a kind of Anarchy with each other and off the land. Later, that Community purchased a piece of land in Motueka Valley that came to be known as Graham Downs.
There, they experimented radically with communal living: anybody could join whenever they wanted for as long as they wanted. They farmed the land with horses, milked cows, butchered their own meat, built their own houses, made their own clothing, all without any governance structure.

Ana Norambuena held space for the Women of Earth Laboratory from 13-17 March 2024 in Kina, New Zealand.
She speaks about what happened, the shifts that occurred, the Sisterhood that was awakened, the fierce Love that Women reclaimed for moving forward, the radical commitment to following impulses and the Nothingness required to hold space for the emergence of an Unfolding of Everything in chaos.
She reveals especially the lie in patriarchy that Women are alone. Without that lie, with Women collaborating, being together, patriarchy stands no chance.
In one of the processes that Ana shares about, all the Women declared,...

"I think the authority of us Women to authorize ourselves to be that fierceness, unpredictability of Everything is something that in our heart we are deeply longing for. And no one can give this authorization for us to be Everything."
