Walking in Sacred Balance – Collective Healing with the Buffalo of Yellowstone National Park
with Dallas Gudgell
Yankton Dakota leader and conservationist Dallas Gudgell takes us inside Indigenous-led buffalo restoration efforts in Yellowstone National Park, showing how these initiatives embody collective healing and ecological renewal. Drawing on ancestral knowledge and traditional ecological practices, Dallas explains how restoring free-roaming buffalo herds is deeply connected to revitalizing both the spirit of the people and the land. He reflects on the sacred balance between light and darkness, the relational worldview of Indigenous cultures, and the need for holistic, spiritual approaches to biodiversity and climate solutions.
- Indigenous-led buffalo restoration as a pathway to ecological and cultural healing
- Reviving relational and spiritual connections between humans and nature
- Integrating traditional ecological knowledge into modern climate and conservation strategies

DAY 1: The Waggle Dance – How Bees Find the Best Way Together
In the quiet geometry of the waggle dance, bees translate sunlight into shared understanding. Each movement carries distance and direction – an embodied map of place. When seeking a new hive, scouts exchange possibilities through motion, until a collective choice emerges. A bee democracy is formed not by command, but by coherence. Through this process they always find the best possible spot within their reach.
Reflection questions
- How do I attune my inner compass before moving into action?
- What helps me translate purpose into embodied direction – in gesture, tone, or presence?
- How do I and my community communicate shared intention beyond words?
- What might it mean to find our “best available hive site” together – to locate what is both reachable and right for now?
