The ReMembering and ReEnchanting Podcast
Join us on a journey in and around and through the relationship between time and place. We cover circular calendars, the nature of time, progress, colonization, and consider the question, "What would a liturgical calendar for a regenerative economy look like?"
We hear a lot about how people are separated from place. Much less discussed is how separating people from place leads to a different kind of relationship with time.
This information comes from years of engaging with time, particularly via our Circular Time course, as well as our ReMembering Course.

Sara Jolena Wolcott's bio
Descendent of some of Founding Fathers of the United States of America, Sara Jolena Wolcott, M.Div, is now building people's capacity to collectively reMember our ecological familial, national and global origin stories to enable more harmonious futures. An ecotheologian and unconventional minister, she is the founder of Sequoia Samanvaya, a healer, a ceremonialist, and a Legacy Advisor with Innovation 4.4. She is primarily interested in the work of ReMembering and ReEnchanting our world. She is known for her laughter and the (sometimes wild) power of her presence.
Born and raised on the historical Ohlone lands in the California Bay Area into a Quaker family, her quest to understand how we might navigate through the current social and ecological crises took her on a global odyssey. Her wide and wild range of experience, all of which brings depth to her ministry, includes : co-leading the 33-country multi-disciplinary ReImagining Development Program at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), consulting for the World Bank, living as a traveling singer in India, serving as a community minister at Judson Memorial Church in New York City, working as a prison chaplain on Rikers Island Correctional Facility in NYC and working as a Fellow in Spirituality and Climate Change at the Institute of the Advancement of Science and Society in Germany. She also has nearly 20 years of experience as a healer and ceremonialist.
She currently lives on the historical homeland of the Mohigan/Mahican people in the Hudson Valley. She enjoys painting dragons, sitting around fires, and moonlit walks.
