In this video clip, Woman Stands Shining talks about the ramifications of exploring our freewill and consent. She’s saying “If this is a freewill construct, we need to watch for where our consent is overridden. We are in a power over paradigm, might makes rights, you must overcome someone else, dominance”. Woman Stands Shining compares this with Mother Earth as being set up entirely for a collaborative system.
We were all struck by the depth, brilliance, radical and practical nature of the conversation. That’s why we’ve created these clips so you can get a small taster. We can’t do full narrative justice here. For that we recommend watching the panel.
