hold on to each other

Speaking to the grief, anger and fear in our current circumstances we search for workable responses to today's threats. We seek healthy and honorable ways to free ourselves of paralysis or panic.

nature honors naturally

There is no one answer that fits for all, different strokes definitely work for different folks. Take the time to create whatever sacred space and sanctuary that works best for you.

Many are deepening their spiritual or religious practices. I am grateful to be grounded in Shamanism as a way of life as it naturally incorporates love and respect for all things. Buddhism in its many manifestations and practices is another good anchor in these uncertain times.

Since its inception in the late 1970’s, “The Work That Reconnects” has helped countless thousands of people around the globe find solidarity and courage to act despite rapidly worsening social and ecological conditions. 

Created by Joanna Macy, it is a framework and methodology for personal and social change. It is influential work that, in the face of overwhelming social and ecological crises, helps people transform despair and apathy into constructive, collaborative action. 

It takes a village not just to raise a child but to create a community of connected collaborators that can nourish and sustain us effectively. Interrelating and interacting in interwoven lives and interests.
