Even as -- especially as -- the empire crumbles, we are called to take conscious time to center, re-enter our bodies, and remember the essence of connection. In many ways, these are times of great despair: increasingly belligerent governance, flagrant support of genocide by those in power, willful disregard of accelerating climate & ecosystem catastrophe in our policies... the list goes on.
It is easy to enter the rock tumbler of despair and confusion, forgetting which direction we were facing and what path we were attempting to walk. We are not designed to generate hope, imagination, and power inside of bodies who cannot remember the deep love of the unseen. Our connection to the earth herself, all of her beings, and all of her spirits is the guiding force that energizes us to stabilize, make meaning, and enact ripples of change in the material world.
Open practice is a space to relax on your cushion or mat, enter a space of stabilization, and find glimmers of rememberance through guided practices. It is also a place to find inspiration in choice quotes from The Emerald Podcast, to journal, and discuss these insights briefly with fellow practitioners.
I look forward to seeing you.
