#63 Pat McCabe: Changing Paradigms by Co-Witnessing and Retelling our Stories

Pat McCabe (Weyakpa Najin Win, Woman Stands Shining) is a Diné (Navajo) mother, grandmother, activist, artist, writer, ceremonial leader, and international speaker. She is a voice for global peace, and her paintings are created as tools for individual, earth, and global healing. She draws upon the Indigenous sciences of Thriving Life to reframe questions about sustainability and balance, and she is devoted to supporting the next generations, Women’s Nation and Men’s Nation, in being functional members of the “Hoop of Life” and upholding the honor of being human.

She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

• The exploration of the “perfect design for thriving life as human being here”
• The responsibility to understand the consequences of humanity’s actions on our interconnected world
• The realization that the “modern world paradigm is a choice” 
• The co-witnessing of today’s issues and retelling of our old stories can “change the trajectory into the future”
• The reconciliation between the masculine and feminine, and that “men are not the patriarchy; the paradigm is the patriarchy”
