How To Learn From Your Ancestors | Spring Washam

<p dir="ltr">Our guest argues that looking back on those who came before us can help us understand who we are and why we do the things we do. Plus, a very special request from Dan.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="http://springwasham.com">Spring Washam</a> is a well-known teacher, author, and visionary leader based in Oakland, California.

Spring is considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based meditation practices to diverse communities. She is one of the founding teachers at the <a href= "https://eastbaymeditation.org/">East Bay Meditation Center</a>, located in downtown Oakland, CA and has practiced and studied Buddhist philosophy in both the Theravada and Tibetan schools of Buddhism since 1999.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode we talk about:</p> <ul> <li>How Spring came to write about Harriet Tubman's life</li> <li>Her work with plant medicine and the shamanic tradition</li> <li>The dream and the "conversations" Spring had with Tubman</li> <li>Why we are all so interested in ancestry</li> <li><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> How we can deepen our relationship with our ancestors</span></li> <li>Family Constellation Therapy as a modality for doing ancestry work</li> <li>Spring's own family history</li> <li>Why she is still processing the experience of writing her book about Harriet Tubman</li> <li>What she means by the "inner underground railroad" and how it is alive today</li> <li>And, how, in the inner underground railroad, freedom equates to nirvana </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Content Warning: mentions of suicide</p> <p dir="ltr">This episode originally aired in February 2023, and we're re-airing it today for two reasons: first, because it's awesome; and second, because Spring needs help.  A few months ago, Spring was hit by a delivery truck while crossing the street in Atlanta. She suffered extensive injuries and has been largely unable to work since then. As a result, she's been experiencing some financial distress between her mounting medical bills and her inability to be fully employed. </p> <p dir="ltr">We've teamed up with the meditation teachers Jack Kornfield and Trudy Goodman to start a <a href= "https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-spring-washams-healing-journey"> GoFundMe page</a> to help Spring raise a little bit of money.

So today, we are happy to oblige with this short meditation that I led, as part of our semi-regular live gatherings of the Renegade Sangha on Substack. Twice a month, paid subscribers are invited to join me, live, for a little guided meditation, then I take your questions.

It's super simple and good for both beginners and experienced meditators alike. </p> <p>If you enjoyed that and would like more opportunities to meditate together, here's what we've got coming up for you in June: </p> <ul> <li>on the podcast, we're bringing back our series Get Fit Sanely, where we talk about how to take care of your body without losing your mind – you'll hear about nutrition, exercise, rest, and more, all with a lens of self-compassion<br /> <br /></li> <li>and we're super excited about this: friend of the pod and ace meditation teacher Cara Lai will be creating a month of bespoke meditations, each one tailored to an episode of the podcast, exclusively for paid subscribers at DanHarris.com.
