Rites of Belonging: Adulting at the threshold of uncertainty & change
"The times are urgent: let's slow down” -Bayo Akomolafe
As the planet spins while orbiting the sun, seasons continue to cycle and waves of loss, change and hope surge across the landscape. A sense of quickening and urgency can be contagious. Yet, what does it take in these wild times to slow down enough and mark significant thresholds through life’s spiraling stages and changes? To become still enough to receive the gifts of resiliency and lifeways that shaped the lives and land of your ancestors? This June-December, Rites of Belonging: Adulting at the threshold of uncertainty & change hosts a 6 month container for this inquiry.
Fasting in wild places is a deep practice of marking various thresholds throughout cultures worldwide. In the week long ceremony in Mojave/Paiute land embedded in this journey, you will have an opportunity to mark the initiatory moment you are in with the land, Spirit, and guides as your witness. The first 4 moons of the journey are preparing for this fasting time. The last 2 moons are strengthening and nourishing that which will anchor you as you step forward in co-creativity with the living myth of your life! The sacred technology of fasting and other earth based practices we will explore, clear the way for a life lived upright, sovereign, attuned and expressed.
We have been called upon to offer our support to a group of humans who are ready to go on a journey together; one that uplifts and enliven the wild caverns of the psyche & soul, the fortitude of the body, and relationship with Spirit in service to the earth and human community.
