Birdsong: Oracle & Meditation

A conversation on birds, creation, somatic knowing & meditation with Dr. Chanti Tacoronte-Perez

How many episodes can I devote to birds, you ask? Well, I haven’t found a limit yet…!

Today on Our Mindful Nature, we are talking about two of my favorite things: oracle cards & birds 💛

Dr. Chanti Tacoronte-Perez is joining us to introduce a new somatic oracle deck titled Birdsong. 

Dr. Chanti is a Cuban-American artist-author, ritualist, and non-clinical depth psychologist. She believes that images speak a profound language; her life’s work is a translator of the unseen and an advocate for the imaginal. She holds two master's degrees in Engaged Humanities and Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. In 2023 she completed her doctoral dissertation Navegando Liminal: Rituals to Translate the Image of the Wound. Her work and teaching follows and welcomes imagination, creativity, dreaming, and deep rest.

Within our conversation today, we explore:

‣ Divination⁠
‣ Somatic wisdom⁠
‣ What happens when we tune into the body rather than the guide books⁠
‣ Trusting the wisdom of our bodies⁠
‣ Translating the wisdom of the natural world⁠
‣ Dreams & the creative process⁠
‣ Migration, landlessness, and the meaning of home⁠

At the end of today’s interview, Dr. Chanti guides a beautiful bird-meditation. So take a seat outside, make sure you have a bit of room to move, grab your journal, and join us!
