Storytelling, Ancient Wisdom and the Human Family | Nadine Wildheart | TEDxEastVan

Who are we? If we don't know our stories, if we're not listening? Nadine's experience listening to Indigenous elders and their stories taught her about her own story. Looking into our own ancestral background through traditional storytelling, Nadine encourages people to return to their own story. Moving forward, collectively remembering we are the human family. Nadine Wildheart is a storyteller, who has been trained by world renowned storytellers Laura Simms and Nancy Mellon. She also sits with Haida History Keeper and Storyteller, Woody Morrison, Ph.D., who was trained by The Old Ones as a little boy. Nadine holds a Bachelor of Education with a teaching philosophy in whole brain thinking and emotional intelligence. She also completed a Bachelor of Arts in Great Books/English with a focus in Spiritual Psychology, the theories of the Western Cannon, Consciousness Studies and Jungian and Freudian Dream Theory. Nadine is a professional trained clown in the Pochinko technique, she studied with the Halifax circus, has hitchhiked across Canada five times and helped edit a textbook on Indigenous Injustices “The Colonial Problem” by Dr. Lisa Monchalin. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Beautiful story, a lot of the modern world and especially our generation have missed out on a lot of great wisdom that never got passed down. Definitely good to reconnect to our roots. There is much to learn from it.
