๐ŸŒŠThe second wave (and events coming up)


Dear community

Many of the people I speak to are questioning their purpose and identity.

We are entering a second wave of our purpose and mission, where what we did, what we believed and what patterns we held in the past may not be the solution of the future.

As the world may feel daunting, we have a choice. We can continue to be in winter and survive or we can nurture the seeds of the future.

In so many parts of the world we are in moments of crisis, and in our personal lives, we may also be in a moment of crisis. My life, like yours has elements of both.

The inner dimensions of this crisis:

  • Holding courage in uncertainty.
  • Holding grief without collapsing.
  • Choosing love, not numbness.
  • Building belonging when things feel fractured, in friendships and in community.

This week, I invite you to bridge that gap between crisis and transition.

  1. Hold a conversation with love, with someone you have a close relationship with.
  2. Plant a seed for your future, your spring.
  3. Create something new that breaks a pattern of the past.
  4. Find a community to join, old or new.

Email me which one you chose.

Questions I am holding

How do I hold the contradiction of wanting stability when so many things are unstable?

What can I create in service?

What am I doing for my future self?

How am I nourishing myself this week?

What might play look like?

Dear community, I keep hearing about grief and sadness, but also courage and love. I keep hearing about many of us going back to old patterns we thought we had already worked through. I keep seeing this in sectoral meetings too. So what is it like to be you right now in a world of turmoil? I would love to know. Email me. For me, here is what it is like beyond the square Zoom screen. I am working through my ancestral trauma, wanting to me the final iteration of the violence of the past and not...
