Dear Friends,
As I sit here in the cold and snow, I am reminded that nothing lasts forever. I am already noticing that the days are getting longer. It won’t be long until the first signs of spring bravely emerge from the darkness of winter.
Nature is a beautiful reminder that all things come and go, often in cycles. In spite of the dark times we are in, with cruelty and injustice running rampant in the US, there is hope. The Peace Monks have lifted our spirits with their mindful presence walking from Texas to Washington, D.C. The Super Bowl performers showcased the diversity and richness our country can offer, with the banner, “The only thing stronger than hate is love” displayed for all of us like a beacon in the night. Spring will return — as long as we are tending the garden that is our community.
On Feb. 23rd Cibele Salviatto and I will be doing just that, with the next session in our Sacred Activism series, entitled “Sacred Activism — Widening the Circle: Expanding from Self to Service.” This month we will widen our lens from the individual to the collective. Drawing on the wisdom of evolutionary biology and integral maps, we explore the truth that evolution is a fundamental movement toward cooperation. We will move beyond isolation to ask: Do you believe in the world you long for? Together, we will envision that world and discover why service is not just a duty, but the natural, inevitable expression of our own growth.
I hope you will join us! Each of these 5 stand alone gatherings cover a different topic that will support you in moving from a dualistic expression of Activism to a Sacred Activism grounded in love. They are offered via the gift economy, which trusts you to choose a fee that both respects your budget and the value you receive from our offering. If that amount is 0, you are welcome. Bring your hopes, dreams, and intentions to create a more beautiful world and together we will create an energetic container that will contribute to the evolution of consciousness.
