Everything is a shit show.
The pace and magnitude of what is unfolding each day feels like too much…from extreme heat to political chaos to just trying to survive. All of this, of course, is not new, but an accumulation of unresolved historical wounds, extreme systemic inequality and unhealed collective trauma.
But here we are face to face with an uncertain future and no map to navigate our way.
People will tell you they have the answers, that their particular ideology or politic is “the one”, that we can buy our way to freedom. But there are no right answers, just good questions and the capacity to respond to whatever emerges in each moment.
The systems we seek to change outside of our bodies are also carried within our bodies. Which challenges us to question what we have internalized from our shared history and dismantle the systems that continue to uphold the culture of dominance. All of us in different and disproportionate ways are shaped by the messages we receive from our social environments which informs how we view ourselves, how we interpret self-worth and how we relate to others. The result of this mutually reinforcing cycle is very real and in how it causes harm and keeps us stuck.
But stuck is what got us here. To get free we must choose to break the cycle of complicity and comfort. And then we must simply choose to do something different. When we go from believing “thats just the way it is” to believing we can change; when we choose freedom over obedience, when we discover that we are capable of so much more than what we have inherited, then we will experience the liberation and wellbeing we have been longing for.
I've got some juicy offerings coming up to support you in your individual and collective becoming (see below). Hope you can join.
I love you. Hang in there. Look out for each other.
