Don Dahler joins an intrepid group of adventurers traveling more than 300 miles through Maine's backwoods to retrace one of poet Henry David Thoreau's greatest journeys.
I wasn't able to go on an expedition like this but because of Thoreau I rented a little log cabin by a lake 2 or 3 times a month to have my own Walden experience.
Time for the women to bring in the female perspective and gaze…it would be different 😊 I m a dance anthropologist and Steiner Waldorf trained …..I d be looking for the dance rituals that celebrate and call on the spirit world 🌎 as in Santaria in Cuba which is a hybrid or transcultural expression of a colonised peoples and Macumba and Cantomble in Brasil where again Catholicism appears but not in the Quilon]monos who resisted colonialism and the matachines in Colombia who have the religious rites as they believe they will bring them money in wealth as they see themselves as poor in comparison to the past colonisers. This is interesting to me as an anthropologist. The lived experiences of the now …..for me they need clean water, access to health care that is appropriate and chosen by them and their version of education to preserve their land and sacred rituals - support to work the land so they can be self sufficient and not give in to the forces of acquisition only though capitalism.
