Living Resistance
Living Resistance: An Indigenous Vision for Seeking Wholeness Every Day | Kaitlin B. Curtice
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
"Readers will find abundant wisdom in this accessible guide."--Publishers Weekly In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together. Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors. She explores four "realms of resistance"--the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral--and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. Readers will be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️½/4⭐️ (My review is quite inadequate)

This is a hands-on book about how to live and dream a better world into existence by resisting the status quo and being open to one another, our ancestors, ourselves, and to Mother Earth. Curtice emphasizes that if we can lean into truth and storytelling (rather than into fear), then we can one day get to a place where our similarities are more important than our differences. Read w/ a pencil in hand!

"Gather your burdens in a basket in your heart. Set them at the feet of the Mother. Say, "Take this, Great Mama, because I cannot carry all this shit for another minute." And then crawl into her broad lap and nestle against her ample bosom and take a nap. When you wake, the basket will still be there, but half its contents will be gone, and the other half will have resumed their ordinary shapes and sizes..." - Mirabai Starr, quoted by K.B.Curtice.
