As leaders we struggle in these times of climate crisis and crumbling social systems, and we need support. As we navigate overwhelm, exhaustion, burnout, and numbness from being enmeshed in oppressive dominant systems like hetero-patriarchy, white supremacy, and grind culture, we need support.

Many of us feel a deep longing to experience wholeness and enoughness, to feel that our work is meaningful and values-aligned, to feel seen and less alone, and feel more connected to the seasons and the land.

We want more space for laughter, for grief, for stillness, for deep reflection, for moon rise and bird song, for forest wisdom, for rest, for real justice, for nourishing relationships.

We need inclusive spaces of gentle care and guidance as we deepen our leadership.

We are all inherently connected to the more than human world, and to our own bodies and spirits. But from birth we have been systematically taught to ignore and dismiss these connections. By design we are caught in dominant systems that keep us always producing, wanting and consuming more, and feeling unworthy.

But, I believe we can heal by: Learning to create meaningful (inter)connection with the more-than-human world; recovering and discovering joy; returning to embodiment; resting; re-imagining and embracing life beyond hetero-patriarchy, grind culture, and white supremacy; moving naturally toward wholeness--a process and a direction, not a destination.
