In these accelerating times—where profit often replaces prayer, where data eclipses dreams, and where the march of progress forgets the pace of the Earth’s heartbeat—it feels essential to ask:
What have we placed on the altar of our modern lives?
And what, if anything, do we still give thanks to?
And what, if anything, do we still give thanks to?
We are surrounded by noise. Leaders celebrated in spectacle. Military parades. Digital wars. An age of distraction where attention is the new currency—and we are sold, pixel by pixel, scroll by scroll.
It’s a century of self, as filmmaker Adam Curtis once reflected. And we feel it—disconnected, disenchanted, unmoored.

But what if… we chose another way?
What if, instead of pledging allegiance to flags, we pledged our gratitude to the Earth?
What if each morning began, not with the flicker of a screen, but with a shared thanksgiving—a litany of reverence—for water, air, plants, animals, moonlight, stardust, and the miracle of being alive?

This episode of VENUSfrequency is shaped around a remembrance. A ceremony of attention. A re-centering of heart.
Inspired by the brilliant and beloved Robin Wall Kimmerer, whose book Braiding Sweetgrass braids together Indigenous wisdom, botanical science, and spirit in one luminous voice, I am rootiung this show in the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address—words spoken daily by the children of the Haudenosaunee, words that gather the mind and align the heart.
“Now our minds are one.”
This, dear tribe, dear world out there, dear future together, is not nostalgia. This is a map. A spiritual technology. A call to recalibrate.
The Thanksgiving Address is not a poem. It is a practice. A way of seeing. A way of living. A daily invocation that reminds us we are part of a whole—and not the center of it.
In this episode of VENUSfrequency, we hold this Address at the center of our altar.
And from this center, there then is opportunity for these contemplations and frequencies to ripple outward.

Let us ask:
Where are we going, humanity?
What do we honor?
How would we live differently if gratitude were our governance?
What if we remembered that we are not consumers first, but kin?

This show is a dedication—to awakening, to humility, to the memory of being part of the sacred web of life.
Let us now return.
Let us now remember.
Let us now give thanks.
Let us now remember.
Let us now give thanks.
Now our minds, our hearts, our prayers are one.
And as always… woven through this hour is a carefully curated playlist of world contemporary tunes — a sustainable gift of sound from me to you.
