A framework for understanding ourselves, the world around us, and knowledge itself
We are all researchers. It is human nature to seek knowledge and to assign meaning to our experiences.
It is vital that we start to include more female, spirit-and-indigenous-led knowledge in our academic and educational frameworks to gain a greater understanding of ourselves, and the world we are in.
Living Research is an embodied, sensorial and responsible approach to knowledge gathering.
It is a methodology, guide and compass to our work at Soul Seed Gathering where we engage with ancestral, Indigenous, and cultural knowledge as it engages with us also.
No knowledge remains dead to a page and separate from us but becomes a field we dance within.
Come join us in this dance.
Our Signature Living Research Program is a 6 month immersive course and container, that will shift your relationship with knowledge, and transform your approach to research and self-inquiry.
Our next cohort starts October 1st.
Our research spans time, space, cultures and wisdom traditions with an aim to bring the deep feminine and earth-based knowledge ways to historical significance and cultural relevance.
It is an exploration that invites us to heal the broken threads of our Indigenous ancestry, and telling of history, for a better sense of who we are, where we come from, and where we can go next.
We work with the following research themes in our Living Research Community:
Herstory
To fill the gaps in our understanding of who we are, where we have come from, and to look at where we can go next.
We place a focus on ‘female and deep feminine spheres of knowledge’ simply because it has long been ignored, discarded and dismissed in our collective narrative, telling of history and shared sense-making.
We are missing the guidance of elder wisdom in western society. At Soul Seed Gathering we understand that there is a lot to gain in the respect and acknowledgement of unbroken lineages of knowledge.
Cultural exchange rooted in elder wisdom fosters a richer humanity, empathy and appreciation to access deeper forms of change.
Learning with the communities and civilizations that have placed, and are placing, Mother Earth and Mothers at the center.
We understand that there is a deep intelligence to this way of organizing that needs to be brought into our current consciousness and way of organizing for us all and our future generations to thrive.
Indigenous ancient and future technologies are built with a system of intention, care, intelligence, rites of passage, wisdom and community governance built in to support the whole.
We are missing these key components in our modern technologies - many that have not been designed or cultivated to weave with our lives for greater balance and harmony, wisdom and intelligence.
Explore these research themes, with the opportunity to contribute with your own ancestral exploration and unique interaction with these topics, inside of our Ancient Future Library - the Soul Seed House.
COURSE: DREAMS
How do you learn with dreams?
oUR ON-DEMAND SHORT COURSE WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.
Clarify and expand your mental capacity, access ancestral memory, and immerse in lands, cultures and territories of wisdom.
In this course, we explore dreams and dreaming practices, through a cross-cultural lens. By engaging with dreams as a method of research we can immerse in new and authentic ways of perceiving and relating to the world around us.
