•
30m
Elders from northern New York connected with Seneca traditions, Vivian and Don Papson share a lifelong initiatic path grounded in music and community. Vivian honors Mother Earth as a spiritual mother, while Don offers a participatory song—accompanied by flute—celebrating our senses and inseparable bond with the Earth. They encourage shifting Earth Day from worry to gratitude, proposing “Hello, Cousin” Mondays to practice kinship and everyday unity. Vivian outlines three forms of love—intimacy, respect, and service to future generations—best practiced together in community. Don traces their yoga lineage with Maestro Domingo Dias Porta and bridge-building with Haudenosaunee elders, affirming a “new birth” of inter-tradition cooperation.
