Episode 101: Undreaming Wetiko

“Today’s episode discusses the concept of “wetiko,” a destructive spirit or force from indigenous American shamanism, interpreting it as a metaphor for societal greed and disconnection. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks connects wetiko to the experiences of autistic individuals, suggesting that societal “othering” of autistic people reflects wetiko's influence. Drawing parallels from various cultures and philosophies, they explore the idea of evil as a disruption of balance and unity, contrasting this with a quantum physics perspective emphasizing interconnectedness as a path towards healing and community. Dr. Hoerricks ultimately proposes a shift in perspective to overcome societal separation and foster genuine connection.”
