Golden Threads with Oli Costello

In this very special episode I nerd out with Cultural Advisor and Co-Founder of Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation, Oli Costello, about trees and landscapes but if that's not your bag, well that's even more reason to hang in there! This chat goes deep and wide. Into connection, to hard times, finding our ways to keep putting one foot in front of the other on this crazy adventure called life. Read on!<br/><br/>Each and every one of us is a melting pot of everything that has come before. A million golden threads extending back through time, connecting us to everyone in our ancestral lines and in more subtle ways, to everyone who crossed each and every one of their paths.<br/><br/>What does that feel like when two threads extend back, not that long ago, to seemingly opposing sides? Where do you land when you carry the stories of both Aboriginal and of convict? What does that present within a human who is the product of such a weave and where do you turn the energy of that combined ancestral trauma? Bundjalung legend Oli Costello's ancestral threads, carry the weight of British oppression on both sides. Those who were stolen from their families and homeland of Britain and those who's lands and people were stolen by the British here in what came to be known through colonisation as Australia.<br/><br/>Oli turned to Country for answers and learning, and in it he found fire. Fire to heal, to find identity, to reconnect with place, to channel life's complexity into reviving landscapes.
