Walking Medicine: Indigenous Wisdom and Men's Retreat with Maria Islas
Discover the essence of indigenous wisdom in Mexico with Maria Islas. She is Walking Medicine. In this powerful conversation, Maria shares the profound teaching she received from elder Olpa Mitzli: what makes a person indigenous is not blood or labels — it is the relationship with the land.Explore how transpersonal psychology meets living Mexican, Toltec, and ancestral traditions. Learn why we heal where our feet are, how to “read” the land as living books, what it means to be indigenous, and the fluid dance of masculine and feminine energies as reciprocity. Maria reveals how ancestrality is not nostalgia for the past but a living way of being — and how reclaiming our roots gives us greater freedom and choice in the present.This episode is both deep medicine and a direct invitation. Travis Gray and Maria Islas are co-facilitating an immersive men’s retreat on Maria’s land in Oaxaca, Mexico, October 4–9. A rare opportunity to experience sacred elements, Temescal, land-based practices, and authentic masculine–feminine balance in community.If you feel called to return to essence, expand your options, and walk in deeper relationship with the land, this conversation is for you — and the retreat is waiting.Watch, reflect, and consider joining us in Oaxaca.
