Deep Belonging

I had the honor of sitting down with Paul and Laura from the Cuyamungue Institute a few weeks ago for a powerful conversation about the work that I'm up to. Please check it out and tune in to their other upcoming talks.

100% donation-based. All proceeds go to support on-the-ground activities.

Lunch and dinner provided. Space is limited.

The human organism is characterized by a natural impulse toward health, healing, and wholeness. For example, when we get a cut, the body knows how to repair itself. In this case, our task is simply to create the conditions that are conducive to healing.

So why would it be any different for the psyche?

Holotropic breathwork is a powerful practice for creating the conditions to enable the psyche's innate healing/wholing impulse to do its work.

If you've never experienced the profound power of this practice, join us THIS SATURDAY for a daylong deep dive into breathwork, embodiment, and community.

No one will be turned away due to a lack of funds.

Reach out with questions!!

It was a tremendous honor to learn and work alongside the visionary Stephan Harding during these past few years of his life. Blessings on your crossing, Stephan, and thank you for all you've done for Gaia.

Last week, Ari and I finished teaching the inaugural session of our course Embodying Evolutionary Cosmology. It was a wild and deeply meaningful journey, and we were honored to learn with such an amazing group of participants from all over the world.

Next week, we're launching the next iteration of the course, and we still have a few open spots. Maybe you'd like to join us.

Our core aim with this course is to provide you with a foundation in evolutionary thinking while empowering your participation as an essential member of the Earth Community.

If you'd like to learn more or register, reach out or visit the course webpage (link in comments).

Here's what one of the participants in our first cohort had to say:
"Ari and Ezekiel manage to open the door to the cosmos in a way that reveals the 'magic' of its evolution."

We still have some open spots in this course, which offers ideas, practices, and community to support the journey of truly belonging here on Earth. You will not regret it!!

The assumptions on which our "modern" forms of consciousness are built (humans and nature are separate, the mind and body are separate, humans are superior to all other forms of Life, matter is fundamentally dead, the universe is fundamentally random, etc.) prevent us from participating meaningfully in the Earth Community.

So how might we change that? How might we alter our consciousness and engage with the more-than-human world around us?

Well, that's what this course is all about!

We have an AMAZING team of teachers/guides (including Andreas Weber, Freya Mathews, Peter Reason, Sandra Wooltorton, and Jacqueline Kurio). The format enables you to connect with a global group of participants while deepening your relationship with the land where you live.

If you want to learn more, reach out or visit the website. Registration ends soon!

A panpsychic co-operative inquiry with water bodies worldwide. Online weekly seminars and access to additional assets/sessions.

Hi friends - we'll be holding our monthly Refuge in the Ruins call for Blue Ridge Rites of Passage. Hope to see you there!

12/04/2023

Just one last reminder about our first Refuge in the Ruins call tomorrow at 12:30 pm EDT. This call is a space for 18-30-year-olds to gather and collectively make sense of what it means to be human in this time between worlds. If you're interested in joining, or if you know someone who would be, reach out! You must register to get the Zoom link.

We only have 2 spots left! Is one of them yours?
If you’ve never experienced the wild healing power of holotropic-inspired breathwork, then it’s hard to describe what you’re missing.
This practice activates our inner healing resources. Holotropic breathwork was created as an alternative to psychedelic-assisted therapy. It’s safe, effective, and potent.
Join us for a day of breathwork, embodiment practice, meditation, and community. You won’t regret it.
Lunch is included.
No one turned away due to lack of funds.

**What happens when we open up to the wild, healing power that dwells within us (or maybe that we dwell within)?

**What happens when we slow down enough to hear the quiet wisdom of that small still voice within?

**What happens when say YES to fully inhabiting our bodies, matching our outward expression with our inner truth?

**And what happens when we do all this within the context of community?

Well, to be honest, I’m not quite sure, but I think it’s some sort of magic. Some sort of reweaving of the tattered threads of culture and place and community. Some sort of antidote to the isolating individualism that keeps us separated and estranged from our collective power.

If you want to get in on the magic, JOIN US for the Body, Breath, Belonging Daylong Retreat at the epic Shanti Temple in Floyd County, VA. I’ll be co-guiding with my dear friend Kim O’Donnell.

Spaces are limited. Spots are filling up. Claim yours by registering TODAY!

Blue Ridge Rites of Passage is launching a free monthly online council series in December called Refuge in the Ruins. These calls (for folks in the age range 18-30) will be a space for collective sense making about what it means to be human right now. We’ll wrestle with questions about how to live well and on purpose in this moment, but we’ll also hold space for whatever is present in the group.
