Mentorting

Western culture teaches us that coping with grief, transitions, challenges is an individual task - my traumas, my difficulties, my therapeutic journey.  This model says that you are broken and need fixing. 

 

In reality, our culture is broken.  

You are doing a really good job maintaining health in this unhealthy culture of loneliness and overwhelm. 

 

Since time immemorial, humans have healed and transformed, together, in collaboration with one another and with the natural world, in reverence and gratitude for the cycles which are the basis of all life.

 

You might have tried different workshops, yoga, ice baths, journaling, therapy.  In moments, you have felt deep connection, even the presence of the sacred in a beautiful sunset or a shared meal, but still, something is missing. You long for an authentic relationship with life and with others.

 

Turning our attention back to our essential relations with the cycles that define our life realigns us with our natural wisdom. 

 

You are part of a larger wisdom, a movement of the cosmos, mirrored in the interdependence and cross pollination of a healthy forest.  We live together, us humans, the trees, the birds, the ancestors, the children, the fire, the earth, the air, the water. You are never truly alone. 

You can always turn to these elements to ask for, and receive support. 

 

You are built of these relations.  When you look around and recognize your relation with life, you can see that you are ongoingly witnessed and witnessing; you open the possibility for collective healing, in collaboration with the magic that lives everywhere around us, and within us. In doing so, you step into a more authentic version of yourself.
