It’s always a deeply uncomfortable but pivotal time when the old questions you’ve been asking feel tired and worn out. New questions start to beg at your psyche, creating doorways for new ways of being.
About a year ago, I found that the ‘box’ of mental health and trauma healing (as much as I tried to stretch those concepts open across mind-body, spiritual, and societal domains), still felt too narrow. I became less curious about how we heal, and more curious about what it would look like to really start living, especially right now, at the edge of systemic collapse. What is the medicine for these times, which seem to be defined by devastation, drawing us farther away from our humanity? And instead of rushing to organize, fix, change, or start something new, how could I embody the vision and values that I feel are needed to meet this moment?
