And we’re going to need stories. Deep, powerful. alchemical stories.” -Martin Shaw If we are feeling loss in some shape or form (that’s the human condition, is it not?), can we look at it as an opportunity for birthing a new story of relating? To the wild world which is our true home, to ourselves, to others? Which is really a deeper, richer story of loving and belonging. With loss, whether personal or social or ecological, there is a feeling of descending, going down, into darkness. And Descent is always a movement of opportunity, our psyche asking us to claim more Wholeness, to live authentically, to re-align. Over and over and over. Within the dominant imperial extractive capitalist story we have been living a particularly obscene narrative about endless taking, hierarchical power, and disconnection. A type of insane belonging that is having dire consequences. Consequences for the entire world and our own mental and physical health. And as Shaw also says, “We’re not going to hear a story worth hearing until we’re broken open by our own consequence. The historical moment we find ourselves blessed to live in right now, #TheGreatTurning, is a collective initiation with each traumatic loss, asking of us now to awaken, to birth deep, powerful, alchemical stories. Our part comes in as we find and embody our true personal stories and weave them into the tapestry of the whole. We’re going to need it. So which stories are trying to live through you? —————————————————- 🌿Take the self-paced WILD NATURE HEART CHALLENGE at anytime from anywhere.
