We are entering that time of year when the natural world (here in the northern hemisphere) grows dark. ��The growth of the past year dies away. ��And there is a pause—a period of hibernation and incubation.
Often we skip it.
We turn from the darkness.
We do not allow the silence or the stillness.
In our being—or in the earth.
And we miss so much nurturance and wisdom that would carry us into creative action.
It is my experience that our most powerful and fulfilling work emerges from this still, dark, silent well—where the Universe itself speaks to and replenishes us.��And that business (and life) flows so much easier, wilder—and more bountiful than we ever could have imagined—when we work according to natural rhythms and cycles.��(Something that we innately know—but that was stolen from us, and shuddered from memory, during Europe’s transition to capitalism and our inheritance of it.)���Right now, at this moment in history, we need more than ever to be still, to turn inward first, to gather the discernment and the steady strength to act.��To turn toward what we experience as dark and wild, vast and boundless, fallow and unknown. ��To reclaim our own wisdom in the creative cycles of life and death, effort and ease, activity and rest.��And to use it for its profound power to transform.
��As we enter the darkest, stillest part of the year, I invite you to join me in welcoming the darkness and the stillness.
In honoring and in letting go.
With deep reverence for the natural endings and beginnings in your work and your life.
And their ability to replenish, regenerate and transform.��In a way that untangles the root of what distracts and derails you.
And weaves the threads of your life’s work and your leadership—into its fullest integrity, depth and power.
Into the Void, a 40-day practice of release, regeneration & reclamation to untangle the root of what distracts & derails you, begins December 1.
