Describing the importance of the “language of the heart,” Marissa also discusses the imperatives of play, pleasure, spontaneity, dancing, grounding, praying, weeping, dreaming, freedom, and recognizing that we are all indigenous to Earth. She discusses her global travels and immersion in indigenous cultures in Tanzania, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and elsewhere as profoundly influential to her worldview and to her commitment to help create a new, post-industrial, post-colonial, “place-based” culture.
