S8E6 Whispers of the Mountain: Spiritual Adventures With Cosette

Trees, Prayer, and Healing on Lakota's Mountain Wes and Cosette record "Enlightenment Unknown" from Chesapeake, discussing a shared pull toward nature and tree networks, including ideas from Cosette's book The Hidden Life of Trees and how trees communicate. Wes recounts experiences at Lakota's mountain ceremonies, including the Native American Heart Dance using a "peace tree" for prayers, a vivid spiritual connection with the tree before it died, and intense events during a vision quest involving unseen beings, fear, and surrendering through prayer. They discuss releasing resentment, making amends safely, forgiving oneself, and opening to receive forgiveness rather than repeating guilt. Wes shares overcoming prescription pain-pill addiction and physical pain after asking for help on the mountain. They reflect on inner-child wounds, inherited trauma, belonging, and modeling healing for their children, briefly introducing Cosette's son Brooks before sharing their Instagram contacts.     00:00 Show Intro at Cosette's 00:23 Yurt Plans and Seasons 00:54 Redwoods and Tree Wisdom 02:21 How Trees Communicate 03:25 Humans vs Nature's Purpose 04:17 Heart Dance Peace Tree 05:55 Avatar Like Tree Vision 07:46 Tree's Final Goodbye 10:14 Chinka Star Beings Story 12:34 Mountain Nights and Messages 15:18 Peace Chamber Drum Portal 16:53 Vision Quest Cave Beings 18:51 Fear in the Woods 20:19 Medicine Wheel and Surrender 21:46 Prayer in the Dark 23:08 Letting Go of Attachment 24:29 Amends and Safe Witnesses 25:55 Forgiveness and Narcissists 29:35 Mountain Healing Miracle 33:52 Speak the Unspoken 35:11 Rewriting Childhood Beliefs 37:50 Belonging and Safe Circles 40:32 Generational Trauma Explained 42:28 Brooks Birthday Cameo 44:05 Healing for Our Children 45:26 Closing and Where to Find Us
