Today we sit down with Lorriane Duvall, a true Adirondack Woman. Lorraine Duvall became a lover of the Adirondacks early in life through a Girl Scout canoe-camping trip on Upper Saranac Lake. As an adult, she vacationed in the southern Adirondacks. Her longtime dream of living in the Adirondacks was realized after she purchased land in Keene in 1995, built a house, and moved there as a retiree. Soon she made friends with others who loved to paddle their canoes on the waters of the Adirondacks. Since moving to the mountains, Duvall’s varied civic and environmental endeavors have helped her to understand and respect the different perspectives of those who live in and visit the Adirondacks. As a board member of Protect the Adirondacks (and its predecessor organization, the Residents’ Committee to Protect the Adirondacks), she devotes her efforts to environmental issues. She has also served on the Keene Planning Board, the board of the Ausable River Association, the board of the Saranac Lake Community Store, the executive committee of the Hurricane Mountain Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club, and the Community Services Board of Essex County. Duvall holds a BS degree in Mathematics, an MS in Operations Research, and a PhD from Syracuse University in Information Studies. She spent her professional career as a software engineer and director of research. After retiring to the Adirondacks, Duv all wrote And I Know Too Much To Pretend, which won the 2014 Best Memoir Award from the Adirondack Center for Writing.

Show Notes: Renn jumps right into an explanation of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn Intro to Archetypal Astrology - A grand artistic expression. It’s as though a great teacher, or mentor is winking at the novice student. Tarnas quote “Patriarchy is the 5000 year birth canal of the great Mother Goddess”. We are in a species wide birth labor. Perinatal influences on politics It’s time to lay down our swords and shields. It’s time to focus on the great work of healing and self exploration, it takes tremendous courage to face the unconscious contents. The time of conquering is over. Renn describes sessions, deep work, spiritual friends a bit of a How To Is this the end of the time of fundamentalism? Influence of social media has amplified all the present negative qualities. Renn wraps it all together. Renn wishes all very happy inner journeys.
