Calling Forth a "Partnership of the Heart"

an Exploratory Workshop featuring Ceremony / Talking Circle / Non Violent Communication and Indigenous Wisdom

​

This Workshop is dedicated to the deep racial healing that is needed to bring about Unity on this Big Blue Planet. 

 

Up until now there have been few vehicles that grapple with this subject deeply, with a  promise of making some head way into healing these issues.

Diving into history and uncovering  the atrocities and actualities of how societal structures have developed, looking at the differences in the life experience of various peoples due to original understandings and mythologies, and the later developments of economic stratification, the creation of the "other "through racism and skin color, religious and theosophical doctrine mandates that have been promoted and historical manifest destiny objectives that have taken place. 

​

The Ancestors of the 4 Directions contend that if there is love, then by that principal and practice we can create a better world together.  Here let's define what we mean by love: 

1. love as in I love you so much and care so much for your welfare (not because I know you but because it is what I choose to do) that I will take on growing through old paradigms in my thinking / emotional / physical and spiritual orientations that may be creating less than ideal situations on the planet between my brothers and sisters,

8. a love that sees that temporary conflict or pain is not the end point of the process so it allows discomfort and growth.

2. love as a listening ear & open stance that commits to hear from a heart seeking to experience the blessing of deep permeating understanding and also to be heard and seen that deeply oneself that we take loving risks,

3. a love and strength ready and willing to take a good look at any and all aspects of it's shadow and society's shadow to take life to next level,

4.  a love that is willing to make mistakes, admit them, and then pick itself back up and strive to live into love.

4.  a love that sees that business as usual is not an ideal and that is willing and interested in the process of experimentation that it will take to get to our promised rainbow where all life is honored,

5. a love that has come to play all out and live into the sacred dream,

6.  a love that has signed up to  be the solution and walk the solution.

7.  a love that is willing to defend life itself by doing the work, standing it's ground, and strive to open hearts.

9.  a love that sees through the eyes of empathy while gaining the skillful means and wisdom to discern the common mandates necessary for the good of the whole and move towards that alignment.

10.  a love that sees that contention or disagreement is a call to find the missing needs not being addressed in any situation.

​

We are calling forth a partnership of the heart.

Together we can clean this up, the good bad and ugly and stand in our vulnerability / strength and usher in the world to come.  It may be hard to imagine but the process starts here with us.  Calling forth a world that follows the natural order, is inclusive and good for everyone and that brings about a Real and Deep tenderness, justice, alignment, honoring and peace.  This commitment creates it's own resonance that will align to the embodiment of our spiritual purpose and original nature.

​

The Ugly truth of the Star Spangled Banner?  Written in 1814. Why is this our national anthem at all?  This is a racist proclamation that was written before the slaves were freed in 1865 so Blacks were not considered or included as freemen when this song was written.  When the term in the Anthem is used, it only means white men.  This Anthem was written and is prejudiced against black people and we currently have it for a National Anthem!  https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/10/18/star-spangled-banner-racist-national-anthem/
