Today’s show is a real treat! It’s a rich conversation about being grounded and using divination as a tool. We discuss those things and much more with our exciting guest. Join us!Téo Montoya is a human design analyst, metamodern myth mender, and indigenous futurist living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is also an enrolled member of the Lipan Apache Band of Texas. His work focuses on synthesizing cosmological and spiritual systems, myths, archetypes, and modalities to find ways of supporting an emerging world in crisis through human development, ecological literacy, and reciprocity with our more-than-human kin. In today’s conversation, Téo explains myth mending and the concept of meta-modernism, along with indigenous futurism, how he defines it, and why it’s important in this day and age. His work is important because it is on the leading edge of where we go from this current time of ecological and social crisis.  Show Highlights:A brief overview of how Téo’s spiritual path unfolded, thanks in part to his unusual mentor of ten yearsHow understanding human design brought an understanding of the different ways of being human and consciousWhy Téo’s work and focus falls between the esoteric and the practical spacesWhy the current “meaning crisis” is contributing to a psychological health crisisWhy we need myths and systems that help us understand who we are and where we fit into the complexity of our worldHow we move through developmental stages of an intersubjective understanding of realityThe difference in modernism, postmodernism, and meta-modernismThe work of myth mending in helping people rebuild their meaning-making musclesThe basics of human design, which is a synthesis of multiple modalities that helps people bring their fullness into the worldA look at Téo’s chart and what it shows for himThe interesting space of being “in-between” spirituality and practicalityHow Téo explains indigenous futurism as a narrative blueprint for the futureHow we can remain hopeful and aware of the infinite possibilities for the future, even in the midst of the terrible things around usHow the incarnation cross in human design is our energetic purpose in the worldHear Téo’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, favorite books, and what’s bringing him joy right now. Resources: Connect with Téo:  Website or Instagram Books mentioned: The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram Dune by Frank HerbertWalking the Clouds by Grace L.
