Join Dean Evenson in this heartfelt conversation with Phil Heaven, his longtime friend, collaborator, and co-producer as they reminisce on their creative journey together and their new release Earth Within. The underlying story and choice of instruments aligned to bring this album to life in a unique way. Phil and Dean have made many award-winning albums together and this new LP introduces Douglas Johnson who brings his unique stylings on double bass to their viola and flute. “The idea of bringing the Earth Within ourselves through these low frequencies seemed like a great idea for an album project” says Phil Heaven. “Douglas’ double bass instrument brings the grounding earthy feeling along with the viola, bringing deep resonant tones. You feel the low frequencies in all your body.”Dean Evenson explains why the concept and natural sounds are so important on this album. “We need to honor the earth and understand it as a living being. And when we do that, it opens the whole world through a way of thinking that supports the earth and brings about the harmony as the instruments do on this album, playing the different aspects of life and nature.”

Snake River to Salish Sea Spirit of the Waters Totem Pole Journey across Washington and Oregon supports the indigenous-led movement to remove the Snake River dams and restore salmon runs to health. Orca or Southern Resident Killer Whales (SkaliChelh in Lummi language) depend on the salmon to survive. At the heart of any Totem Pole Journey is Jewell James, master carver of the House of Tears Carvers from the Lummi Nation. Much of his professional life he has been in judicial courts or the halls of Congress advocating for treaty rights to be upheld and Tribal sovereignty respected. He continues the good fight, but often with a large totem pole in tow.
This totem pole journey is the latest of a dozen journeys made over the past 20 years to educate and advocate. This journey builds upon, strengthens and reaffirms the growing indigenous-led environmental movement across the Pacific Northwest. The journey includes public eventsin metropolitan areas and tribal communities. At each stop, art and culture sparks understanding of our natural heritage. In-person events include ceremonial moments steeped in ancestral knowledge presenting the challenges the region faces—and avenues for cross-cultural collaboration and engagement on solutions.

We just had an election and some people are happy while some people are not. Democratic elections are interesting that way. At the end of the day, about half the people are celebrating while the other half are feeling devastated. We need to figure out how to survive divisive elections and politics in general. The question is how do we move forward without giving up hope or causing more alienation. This podcast was actually recorded four years ago, but it is as relevant today as it was then. Needless to say, we wish everyone peace no matter how they voted.

We are honored to present this podcast about an ancient Hopi Prophecy that we recorded in 1972 at the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden. Hopi religious elders Thomas Banyacya and Grandfather David Monongye are interpreting a series of prophecies warning that we are at a crossroads.
One Path leads to destruction. The other Path leads to living together harmoniously with Nature. The prophecies remained a secret oral tradition until 1948, when Hopi religious leaders, alarmed by reports of the atomic bomb’s mushroom cloud, which they saw as the destructive ”gourd of ashes” foretold in the prophecies, appointed Thomas Banyacya and three others as messengers to reveal and interpret the prophecies to the outside world.
You can also watch the Hopi Prophecy video on our new YouTube channel, Soundings Mindful Media. Thank you for listening to this podcast and watching the video. We hope you will share them. The message is more relevant today than ever.
