My heart aches for those in Los Angeles who have lost everything in the recent wildfires—the people, the animals, the entire ecosystems.
I am consumed with sadness and anger over the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and the endless suffering they bring.
If you’re a living, breathing, even slightly sensitive human being, your heart is probably breaking too. These are heavy times. The climate crisis, relentless conflicts, and political turmoil weigh on all of us.
Our resilience is being tested. Showing up for life every day feels like a monumental task.
But in these dark times, we have each other. And we have tools to help us navigate this storm.
For many, it’s a time to grieve. And we need to honor that. It’s okay to feel the sadness, the anger, the fear.
For some, stepping away from the news is necessary for their peace of mind. I understand that too.
The energy of the divine feminine—with its flow and path of least resistance—is essential.
It teaches us to rest, to soften, to nurture.
But there’s also a time to embrace the divine masculine—to be assertive, to act, to rise.
After all, the yin-yang symbol reminds us that balance is key; a drop of yang resides within the yin.
Bishop Budde demonstrated this beautifully. She was grounded, kind, and compassionate, but also firm and forthright when she stood up to the Orange Menace. She spoke from her heart with grace and courage.
Now, it’s our turn.
We need to grieve, to process, and then to reignite the fire within.
Let’s channel our heartbreak into action—to defend our Mother Earth and her inhabitants, to fight for a better future.
But first, let’s heal our hearts.
We can’t pour from an empty cup.
That’s why at our next Red Tent, we will focus on healing and activating our heart chakras.
When we live from this place, we become centered and powerful.
Love becomes our North Star, and the journey forward becomes bearable.
Together, we can find strength. Together, we can move forward.
Hang in there. We can do this!
