A more beautiful world
Do you sometimes feel hopeless about the state of our world and the destruction of our planet?
Or guilty that you are not doing enough to change how our society currently operates?
Or scared that reading too much news articles about the issues we are facing is going to send you down a dark hole that you cannot return from?
Or maybe just numb and burn out at the moment?
It can be heartbreaking to remain conscious in our crazy times. Everywhere we turn we can see signs of the Great Unraveling of our society. Between the pandemic and global climate breakdown, systemic oppression like racism and police brutality, gross income inequity, the collapse of our health and care system and more, it is clear that we can’t continue with Business As Usual.
This might leave us thinking we are powerless, or lead to feelings of guilt or denial. It can result in eco-anxiety, getting burnt out from over-acting or turning inward and numbing ourselves because we feel we cannot cope with it all anymore. We end up bopping around between optimism and despair, denial or overwhelm. But when we deny or suppress our pain for the world, we undermine our innate ability to contribute to its healing.
If the above resonates with you, please know that you are not alone. It is by reconnecting with ourselves, each other and the natural world that we find the strength and courage to stay resilient in uncertain times. I want to create a space for you where you can look at the issues of our time, while feeling supported to sit with the difficult feelings that may arise from doing so. A space where you can rewild yourself and ask yourself the hard questions: how to live in a world that is collapsing? How to cope with injustice and uncertainty? What to do that feels meaningful, when the old stories that made sense do not seem to apply anymore?
For this work I draw from System Thinking, Deep Ecology and Joanna Macy's The Work that Reconnects, while continuously pointing you to your true nature: beyond thought, connected to all that is, and rooted in the deeper intelligence of Life.
"The most radical thing any of us can do at this time
is to be fully present to what is happening in the world."
Joanna Macy
One to one sessions
We can organise sessions online, in my practice in Hastings Old Town or outside in nature.
Group workshops
Community helps ground us and feel supported when facing challenging times. Check the events section for upcoming workshops.
Education
Educating ourselves about systemic oppression and how to disrupt it is important. Together we can dive deeper and discuss resources to learn more.
