An invitation

Hi lovely humans

I'm starting a thing tomorrow that will go for six months. I'm happy to do it on my own, but I wonder if you might be drawn to join me in some way - mentally, spiritually, through writing or conversations or art, through themed reading or listening... 

Tomorrow it's the New Moon before the Spring Equinox, where I am anyway. 

I'm starting a practice that will take me through to the New Moon near the Autumn Equinox. 

(I know I'm mixing sun and moon here but ANYTHING in the natural world feels better to me than the awful robotic bloody Gregorian calendar!) 

The other day I was listening to Krista Tippett interview Christiana Figueres, the extraordinary powerhouse behind the 2015 Paris Agreement.

And they were talking, as so many people have, about all that needs to be done by 2030, which when you do a certain kind of maths is VERY soon. 

But I found myself doing a different maths, based on a six month cycle - and there are thirteen of those before the Autumn Equinox in 2030. 

That felt quite spacious. 

You might know I've been thinking about five interlinked aspects of leadership:

  • Self

  • Interdependent world-sense

  • Relationships with others

  • Liberation from oppression

  • Planetary futures

I'm going to spend six (lunar) months placing attention on these aspects - allowing one to come to the forefront in turn each month (with a fallow/void/chaos/exhale month at the end).

I was going to do a big launch and invite you to a community and all that but (a) seed rhythms start quietly and in the dark and (b) wow the past couple of months have been Quite A Thing. 

My sense is if you join me in whatever way feels good and right to you, we could build some kind of heartbeat, vortex, slipstream for the future. 

And I know I know, inevitable collapse and too late and islands of sanity... but also god(s) in everything and allowing the transpersonal and seeking sacredness, taking action and the truth of fractals. Right?

Anyhoo. 

I'ma do it. If you'd like to join me do. If you'd like to tell me you are, great. 

Maybe we can work out some kind of way of connecting and linking what we're doing inside these rhythms, but that's for Future Us. (Hi future us!)  

MUCH love for us living in this time and longing for better.

Another world is possible.
