🌀 Right now, an evolutionary transformation is occurring. Joanna Macy calls it “The Great Turning” and sees it as the essential shift of our time. It involves the transition from a doomed economy of industrial growth to a life-sustaining society committed to the recovery of our world. . ♻️ There are 3 dimensions of The Great Turning: 1) Holding Actions 2) Shift In Consciousness 3) Structural Change . . 1️⃣ ~ {{ Holding Actions }} ~ . This dimension aims to hold back and slow down the damage being caused by the political economy of “Business as Usual.” They include steps we take to raise awareness of the damage being done. Their goal is to protect what is left of our natural life-support systems, rescuing what we can of our biodiversity, clean air and water, forests, and topsoil. Holding actions defend our shared existence and the integrity of life on this, our planet home. . . 2️⃣ ~ {{ Shift In Consciousness }} ~ . This dimension arises from shifts taking place in our hearts, our minds, and our views of reality. At the core of our consciousness is a wellspring of caring and compassion, and this aspect of ourselves can be nurtured and developed. We can deepen our sense of belonging in the world. Like trees extending their root systems, we can grow in connection, thus allowing ourselves to draw from a deeper pool of strength, accessing the courage and intelligence we so greatly need right now. . . 3️⃣ ~ {{ Structural Change }} ~ . This dimension involves a rethinking of the way we do things, as well as a creative redesign of the structures and systems that make up our society. Previously accepted approaches to healthcare, business, education, agriculture, transport, communication, psychology, economics, and so many other areas are being questioned and transformed. Through our choices about how to travel, where to shop, what to buy and how to save, we shape the development of this new economy. Social enterprises, micro-energy projects, community teach-ins, sustainable agriculture, and ethical financial systems all contribute to the rich patchwork quilt of a life-sustaining society. . . ~ Source: “Active Hope” (2012) by Joanna Macy ~

~ ♾ ~ In this time of collective crisis and overwhelm, connecting with your inner artist is indeed, a revolutionary act. Perhaps the most exquisite quality of our humanity is the capacity of our individual and collective imagination to transform reality. To transmute the broken into the beautiful. . And so, as millions of us are being driven into "forced isolation,” it is our moral imperative to listen deeply for the creative invitations amidst the mayhem. . The myth of separation — and all of the belief structures and institutions that perpetuate it — is crumbling. This myth feeds off of our continued denial of creative potential, intuitive capacity, self-sovereignty, inner radiance, and our wholeness. . But here's the most beautiful thing: we each have a choice in all of this. Our economy, our culture, our companies, and our institutions, all exist as a set of stories and agreements that require our active participation. And in this moment of crisis, we are entering an evolutionary moment. Reality as we know it has liquified, and is ready to be reshaped. . Now, the question is: do you choose to view this as a period of economic collapse, or creative renewal? Will you wallow in your loneliness, or choose to revel in the gift of solitude in an age of incessant input? . Will you allow your fear and neurosis to consume you, or will you find the courage to reach out in solidarity, to your friends / family / fellow artists to explore new ways of being in mutual support? . It's not easy — and there is no handbook. That's what makes this ride both terrifying and ecstatic. Therefore, the period of shelter-in-place is over... Your artist-in-residence has begun. . - Wise words inspired by {{ @benjaminhenretig }} . . . #ConsciousGrowth #COVID19 #StayAtHome #Shift #CoronaVirus #ArtistInResidence #Solidarity #Artist #Transformation #CulturalTransformation #Healing #EcologicalRenewal #CollectiveWellBeing #Support #Solitude #EvolutionaryShift #Renewal #Courage

♾ The paradigm shift is upon us. We can no longer cling to old patterns and outdated beliefs. This shift will inevitably prompt personal realignment and reevaluation, shifting your to a new path that helps manifest the desires of your soul. . As your soul expands, your personal vibration elevates, and you will naturally outgrow the framework and platform of your current life. You will begin to desire different things and yearn to know yourself in new and deeper ways. . This shift will highlight people, activities, behaviors, and lifestyles that no longer resonate with the new you. As you become more accustomed to your new expanded self, you will feel called to participate and contribute to life in more meaningful ways as defined through the inner guidance of your soul. . 🌿🌀 Source: “The Seasonal Soul: A Mystic’s Guide to Inner Transformation” ~ Written by Lauren Aletta @innerhue ~ Illustrated by Tegan Swyny @colorcult . . . #TheSeasonalSoul #LaurenAletta #CyclesOfGrowth #Seasons #Soul #HigherSelf #SoulPurpose #Cycles #GrowthCycles #SpringEquinox #ConsciousGrowth #ParadigmShift #Alignment #Shift #Reevaluation

“The Seasonal Soul: A Mystic’s Guide to Inner Transformation” By Lauren Aletta @innerhue & illustrated by Tegan Swyny @colorcult . This book takes people through the seasons of the year and the cycles of growth. A cycle of growth is the larger and overarching chapters of your life and your soul. The purpose of your cycle of growth is to awaken your human self to the “next step” as directed by your soul self. . This guidance is always with the intention of bringing to life your soul’s desire for expression, passion, and purposeful work. You are the living, breathing, fabulous human expression of your unique soul’s adventure through the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. . ~ {{ SPRING EQUINOX }} ~ . The frost thaws. The night has set. The weather warms. Spring the season for growth! It is the time when you become increasingly aware that you’re being called to act on an idea and bring it to life. It might be something like: start that study, submit that application, take up that hobby, contact that person. You begin to grasp glimpses of a vision — a bold idea from your soul that creates a budding sensation. It is time to plant those ideas into seed if intention, let them take root, and sprout into new beginnings! . QUESTIONS FOR SPRING: . ~ My intention this season is… ~ My body is yearning for… ~ My energy is seeking to express itself by… ~ I am ready to allow myself to… ~ My inner guidance is directing and encouraging me toward… ~ What is the muse whispering to me right now? What repeated encouraging feeling or thought am I experiencing right now? ~ Where and how do I want to “spend” my energy? ~ How can I incorporate more playfulness and fun in my life? ~ What chakra/s are speaking to me right now? ~ How can I show up for myself more? ~ How would I like others to describe my vibe? ~ How do I want to feel more often than not? How do I want others to feel when they’re in my company? ~ What is my truth right now? ~ How can I be more consistent with myself in my energy? In my life? . . . #TheSeasonalSoul #LaurenAletta #CyclesOfGrowth #Seasons #Soul #HigherSelf #SoulPurpose #Cycles #GrowthCycles #SpringEquinox #ConsciousGrowth
