Empire Is Young. Earth Remembers Other Worlds.

A futile attempt at paving overand filling up with all the wrong things. A hungry ghost.An ungrieved wound.Maybe one day… Continue Reading “Empire Is Young. Earth Remembers Other Worlds.”

Meeting the Bees Eye to Eye – A World Bee Day Reflection from the Heart of Empire
For me, re-enchantment begins simply: stopping all my antics of disappearing and learning (again and again) how to pay attention. On a mad meander through the forest the other day, amid a tangle of fir, ceonothos, huckleberry and salal bushes, my friends and I… Continue Reading “Meeting the Bees Eye to Eye – A World Bee Day Reflection from the Heart of Empire”
All the Terrible Things Will Become Tumbleweed
The old house of empire is groaning at the beams. Becoming Beautiful Barbarians is a poetry collection written from the threshold between collapse and re-enchantmentโcarrying wild kin, unraveling empires, deep-time trust, and the dangerous act of remaining openhearted in a burning world. Hereโs a… Continue Reading “All the Terrible Things Will Become Tumbleweed”
Imaginal Buds Are Gathering

Now two… Continue Reading “Imaginal Buds Are Gathering”
Love Against Empire
โMay we love in ways that devastingly disrupt state violence.โ ~Gabes Torres What does Love want in this moment? What work does it do? What does it serve? What are Loveโs implications for navigating the path ahead? This V-Day we gather these questions in… Continue Reading “Love Against Empire”
Earth Intimacies: Apprenticing to Life
Often when we hear the word intimacy, we think romance. At the very least we think about humans. But what if intimacy with Earth was not only possible, but necessary for co-creating the world we want to inhabit and bequeath to future generations? For… Continue Reading “Earth Intimacies: Apprenticing to Life”

Within the Cave Something Pulses – Poetry and Program
What if we allied ourselves to the energies of the season? What if we dove into the silent dark and welcomed the wholeness of who we are? What labyrinth wisdoms await?

๐Honoring Joanna Macy – Thank you
earth elder Joanna Macy is in her final days. She is in hospice space surrounded by family and friends. You can find updates at CaringBridge, and leave a message.
