Martín is a leading thinker, writer and teacher in the search for the Indigenous soul in all people, and is a dedicated student of eloquence, history, language and an ongoing fresh approach. In his native New Mexico Martín teaches at his international school Bolad’s Kitchen: a hands on historical and spiritual immersion into language, music, ritual, farming, cooking, smithing, natural colors, architecture, animal raising, clothing, tools, story, grief and humor to help people from many lands, cultures and backgrounds to remember and retain the majesty of their diverse origins while cultivating the flowering of integral culture in the present to grow a time of hope beyond our own. Martín’s works include: Secrets of the Talking Jaguar; Long Life, Honey in the Heart; The Disobedience of the Daughter of the Sun; Stealing Benefacio’s Roses, The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic and The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise. More information about Martín can be found at www.floweringmountain.com. “The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Pain,” is being offered as a premium to listeners who call during the show to pledge support to “First Voices Radio.” Please call (516) 620-3602 to pledge your support.
