where we go from here...

With all that’s going on in our global community, Human Design feels like both the LEAST and the MOST appropriate thing to talk about right now.

My heart is shattered for the people of Ukraine. The reports and images coming out of the region…no human being should ever have to experience the fear and the uncertainty and the loss that comes with war.

My heart is also with the Russian people who have bravely taken to the streets, risking their freedom, to protest these acts of aggression and violence done on their behalf, yet without their consent.

As each year ticks closer to 2027 and the coming new Global Cycle (The Right Angle Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix), the cracks in the systems and structures that have been built over the past 400+ years continue to expand exponentially. As a global human community, it is imperative that people in positions of power and privilege no longer turn away from these giant chasms that exist which actively disenfranchise and endanger entire groups of people. The vast majority of folks who are members of these historically excluded groups haven’t had that option, and they are tired of screaming to be heard.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the promise of the new paradigm is only an aspiration without collective action to make it manifest. Now, more than ever, we are being called to walk toward deep compassion, radical empathy, and both personal and collective accountability, accountability to both ourselves and to each other.

Collective change can absolutely be catalyzed at the individual level, and Human Design is just one of many tools we can use to begin/continue the important work of personally embodying the changes we desperately need to see in the world.

Every morning, during my meditation, I concentrate on this simple mantra/prayer to Creator/Source/God/The Universe from A Course in Miracles:

“Where will you have me go?

What will you have me do?

What will you have me say and to whom?”

In my small corner of the internet, my intention is to create a safe oasis of hope and empathy where the seeds for those changes can be planted.

A space where you feel held as you start to do the deep, important, and highly individual work of shedding the conditioning and programming of the old paradigm that traps us in cycles of scarcity and fear.

A space where it’s safe to take those first steps toward embodying the promise of the new paradigm, as wobbly and imperfect as they may be.

And I’ll be right there, wobbling and trying (and failing and trying again, in true 1/3 fashion) and growing alongside you ❤️

ever forward,
