In this grounded and energizing episode of Gaia Gossip, host Mary Jane Oatman is joined by Aicila Lewis to explore hemp as more than a plant, but as a pathway back to relationships with ourselves and each other. Together, they discuss hemp as an ecosystem solution rooted in Indigenous knowledge, the power of community as a source of healing, and what it means to build systems that truly sustain both people and the planet. This conversation is a call to reconnect, to celebrate what we already have, and to remember that the antidote to greed is community, connection, and care.


Tune in for a refreshing episode with plenty of dirt from Mother Earth.

Woodson’s Negro History Week near Abraham Lincoln’s birthday to its expansion after the civil rights era. He explains what it means to be in a Black historical family, citing lineages like Douglass, Tubman, Shabazz, King, and his own connection through his grandfather, Tuskegee Airman Theobald Wilson. Wilson argues attempts to erase Black history will fail because knowledge is widely accessible, and critiques anti-“woke” politics, DEI rollbacks, and book bans. He links Black and Indigenous histories through shared resistance, colonization, extraction, and decolonization, emphasizing accurate storytelling that contextualizes divisions such as slavery among some tribes and Buffalo Soldiers’ role. He recommends restoring banned books, centering displaced voices, and using the 1619 Project’s rigor against efforts like PragerU/1776 Project, framing Black and Indigenous history as resilience, community wisdom, and a guide to resisting tyranny.

In this episode of Gaia Gossip, host Mary Jane Oatman sits down with Dr. Renee Tsinigine Holt (Navajo/Nez Perce), a Post Doctoral Research Scholar for the Indigenous Resilience Center (IRes). Together they sit at our communal table to discuss the power of matrilineal wisdom, motherhood, and science in land conservation. Dr. Renee brings her experiences as a mother, community leader, and scientist to share ancestral wisdom that reminds us when we stand in our identity with responsibility we create safe spaces for collective care to grow. 


What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • A deeper understanding that matriarchy is not limited to raising children. It includes safety, economic stability, wisdom, and collective strength. 
  • A recognition that Indigenous knowledge systems differ from colonial institutions. True learning goes beyond college. It means becoming a student of the world, finding mentors, learning multiple languages, and reclaiming ancestral ways of knowing.
  •  Indigenous people are natural-born scientists because knowledge of land is inherited, embodied, and practiced.The land is grandmother, teacher, and caregiver.
  • The reclaiming of women’s leadership, that challenges Western misinterpretations of Indigenous women’s power.
  • Leadership begins in the home but extends into governance, land stewardship, and resistance.
  • An invitation to know yourself deeply—because self-knowledge builds respect. Even internal tension becomes part of growth when guided by ancestral wisdom.

Together, they share powerful firsthand accounts of how escalating violence, political instability, and deforestation are threatening not only lives but also Haiti’s most critical watershed.


For decades, the Wynne family has worked to conserve soil, restore biodiversity, and protect the Sourçailles watershed — a vital water source for over four million Haitians. But as gangs overrun communities and ecological systems collapse, Jane and Melissa describe a country in crisis: displaced families sleeping in churches, farms destroyed, children out of school, and a center for sustainable development burned to the ground.


Despite unimaginable loss, their commitment to the land — and to one another — remains unbroken. They remind us that resilience is not just survival; it’s a sacred act of stewardship.


Theo, Jane, and Melissa explore:

  • The historical and ecological significance of Wynne Farm


  • How environmental destruction and social collapse are intertwined


  • The urgent humanitarian needs of displaced families


  • Why global awareness and coordinated action matter now more than ever

Lisa holds a Masters Degree in Education, a Foundations Certification in NeuroLeadership, and Certificates in Medical Neuroscience, Visual Perception, and the Brain, and Neurobiology. She is the author of seven books on neuroplasticity and stress management, including NEW BELIEFS, NEW BRAIN: Free Yourself from Stress and Fear, and NEUROSCULPTING: A Whole-Brain Approach to Heal Trauma, Rewrite Limiting Beliefs, and Find Wholeness.


She runs multiple companies, and has over 60 international franchises. Lisa still runs a private meditation coaching practice teaching clients who suffer from emotional blocks, stress disorders, and self-imposed limitations. She is a keynote speaker and a faculty member of Kripalu Yoga and Meditation Center, the Law Enforcement Survival Institute, Omega Institute, and 1440 Multiversity.


Lisa began her meditation practice at age 12. Hit by lightning at age 15, and clinically flatlined on multiple occasions, Lisa uses her traumatic experience as a vehicle for transformation. Lisa studied Ascension training for four years with Ishaya monks, completed four years of psychic awareness training, applying the tools of the Berkeley Psychic Institute, and is trained in Autogenic Hypnosis.


Lisa teaches audiences ranging from corporate leaders to FBI and Secret Service. To date Lisa has taught the tools of emotional regulation to thousands of law enforcement personnel and first responders across the country.


This conversation will be led by Myrna James. James is a publisher, journalist, and interpreter of high tech. Her publication Apogeo Spatial illuminates how data from space is used to study the earth for the sake of humanity.



Moments of wisdom from Lisa Wimberger-

Impulse and behavior are faster than conscious thought and intention.




Empowerment, free will and sovereignty start in your own nervous system.

Tommy will present on sustainability, then and now, through the lens of his Hawaiian culture. Tommy will touch on farming, community, and global impact to enrich our understanding of this important, yet often not presented, cultural heritage.


The newest member of the Her Many Voices Foundation Board, Tommy has been an active supporter of their mission and work for years. His varied career and volunteer efforts are an expression of his love for people and community. Whether it is his restaurant service background, music business management or mural work, it is rooted in his deep connection to his heritage as a Hawaiian and his passion for art. A nationally celebrated muralist, Tommy has been painting murals since graduating from Denver East High School. After studying at the Colorado Institute of Art, he has painted murals in Hawaii, California, Colorado, Tennessee, and Florida. A professional artist, he also teaches art, as well.


In addition to working in restaurants for over 30+ years, he has been heavily involved in the Colorado music scene. Tommy's involvement in the Colorado music scene began as a music lover, attending countless shows in clubs throughout Denver and Boulder. In 1994, Tommy was asked to help manage the popular Denver band Western Vogue. It was then that he became intimately involved in Colorado's music scene. He then worked with singer-songwriters Nina Storey and Liz Clark. He also helped on the Entertainment Committee for the CHUN Capitol Hill People's Fair for a few years, until he started and ran the Fair's Streetside Mural Project. He also served on the Colorado Music Association board for a few years, with one as President.


Tommy is a hemp activist, with years growing hemp, harvesting hemp, and promoting hemp products. Currently he is an artist for the Colorado Hemp Company at all their NoCo Hemp Expo's and helped start and operate Serenity Remedies CBD as a manager of the hemp they grew for CBD production.


Tommy helps feed and care for homeless, supports women's rights, and those choosing sober lifestyles. Tommy is a dedicated family man and creates a sense of welcome and connection with seeming ease in the communities he inhabits.


This conversation will be led by Myrna James. James is a publisher, journalist, and interpreter of high tech. Her publication Apogeo Spatial illuminates how data from space is used to study the earth for the sake of humanity.

Two Spirit Artivist Mon, 11 Oct 2021 19:40:44 GMT 1:02:13 619417538233cd00126f8826 false https://shows.acast.com/her-many-voices/episodes/7-two-spirit-artivist 619417538233cd00126f8826 60df7fab01c2ff001235485b 7-two-spirit-artivist full 1 7 Hear directly from this performer, singer, and musical Doula about life as a Two-Spirit Artivist.


Performer. Singer. Multi-Instrumentalist. Musical doula. Two-Spirit artivist.


It is true that Melissa Ivey’s musical evolution has seen many incarnations in this same lifetime. She has been born and died unto herself several times throughout her career, which has spanned more than 20 years, only to rise once more as a new expression of creative intention.


Driven by the impulse to share her art with others, Melissa Ivey sold 5,000 copies of her self-released album "From The Inside Out" from the back of her VW bus back in the early 2000s. This was the very beginning of a prolific life and career that has unfolded in some remarkable and sometimes surprising ways. Ivey’s willingness to give herself over to the process of innovation led to television credits for her music featured on the Television E! Entertainment network and Comcast's two-time Emmy Award-winning show "The Stage-Colorado”.


“My Mel spirit is obviously restless. I’m fun, tough, a warrior, a caregiver, a discoverer, a server of the underserved, and some have called me a creative genius. My passions include helping others through difficult times, joyous occasions and everything in between.” - Melissa Ivey


Combine performance art, human rights activism, and overall love for the birth of new life, and you have Melissa Ivey, ‘The Musical Doula'. Now Ivey not only assists in bringing forth new human life into the planet, but she also consistently conceives of new life in the form of the songs she births into musical existence.


So what makes an artist like Melissa Ivey endure? One might attribute it to this indefatigable thirst to share her life and tell stories through song. Or perhaps it is Melissa's personal evolution through the world of music that keeps her fresh and relevant. Still, maybe it's her ability to thrive through adversity and give voice to the voiceless.


This conversation will be led by Myrna James. James is a publisher, journalist, and interpreter of high tech. Her publication Apogeo Spatial illuminates how data from space is used to study the earth for the sake of humanity.

This Vermont based architectural firm develops innovative applications for the construction sector using industrial hemp. full 1 6 Bob will share his life path, his philosophy on creating architecture and why hemp will spark a scientific, migratory and cultural renaissance for centuries.


This conversation will be led by Myrna James. James is a publisher, journalist, and interpreter of high tech. Her publication Apogeo Spatial illuminates how data from space is used to study the earth for the sake of humanity.


A full-service architectural firm, Escher Design was founded in 1988 in Dorset, Vermont. Bob envisioned a company whose primary objective was to deliver the unique vision of each client without compromising artistic excellence, innovation and attention to detail. That commitment served him well and his practice flourished.


Bob hails from an impressive family of builders and engineers whose projects include New York’s original Yankee Stadium and Switzerland’s Gotthard Tunnel.


A practicing architect for over thirty years, his firm features a national portfolio of completed projects in numerous states including New York, Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont.


A few years ago, his son, Alex, introduced him to industrial hemp. Sustainable and eco- friendly, the ancient plant’s versatility is legendary in the building industry. From hempcrete walls that regulate indoor air quality to toxic-free paints, carpets, textiles and upholstery, hemp is well poised to revolutionize the building industry. With an eye toward the future, Alex joined the firm and the duo embarked on a mission to create the aesthetic of hempcrete by developing and producing a proprietary hemp wall system.


In 2017 Escher Design completed the WNDER Workshop, the first permitted hempcrete structure in Denver Colorado.

In 2019 Alex founded Hemp Hollow Consulting.

In 2019, Bob was elected the first president of the United States Hemp Building Association.


Ready to challenge old standards and eager to inspire novel solutions, Escher Design finds itself at the forefront of innovation in 2021. With hemp based projects scheduled for construction in Vermont, New York State, Missouri and Denver, they will have ample opportunity to elevate architecture to a new level, in the US and abroad.
