SacredSpace: Rest the Moving Mind
|
Dear Reader, Welcome to SacredSpace! Below you will find: With love, Noelle QUOTE A SKYGAZING RITUAL REFLECTIONS Logistics and organizing. Ponderings, questions and reflections. Connections to cultivate. Anxieties that create looping thoughts. Grief we don't feel we can hold. Memories. Caretaking. Lists of tasks. Planning and future. Rivers of mental formations. These mental formations are part of the fabric of our existence. The power, beauty and challenges of the moving mind. Arising and dissolving, ever changing, like a river. When we rest the mind: awareness, tenderness & vulnerability arise within to support us and our experiences. The ancestors, the earth, our bodies & communities emerge to speak through emotions, sensations, images and intuitions. Our deeper truths emerge, we host them like an open sky and our mind & heart rests in presence. We then continue in partnership with the mind. We pray, create, organize & mobilize from this creative, insightful and aligned place of truth & inner quiet. Grounded in the heart and body. Boundless like the sky. UPDATE Enjoy this video clip where I speak about SacredSpace, as one of the featured presenters at the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) TownHall on Healing. I share reflections about the methodology, vision and foundational tenets of SacredSpace and how this work supports healing and collective liberation. So grateful to A4 for the work they are radically envisioning, creating and sustaining through their programming and funding opportunities. |

Below you will find: QUOTES REFLECTIONS ON RITUAL SPOTLIGHT With love, Noelle for mobile users: turn phone horizontal QUOTES "Ritual is a means of attuning ourselves with one another, to the land, and to the invisible worlds of spirit. Recovering this fundamental skill would help us better tend the needs of our soul and culture. For us to enter healing ground, we need to become educated in the ways of ritual." -from The Wild Edge...
