"How Facing Grief Can Help Us Navigate a World in Crisis" | Reality Roundtable #17 - The Great Simplification

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFpnY-ooQhw

I hope you can find the time to listen to these three beautiful humans sharing "The Work That Reconnects", which is a 48 hour workshop or process I myself have participated once. Take the time to let all their words in, and hopefully allow yourself to have the faith that this works (I've lived it myself, and so have they, facilitating hundreds of such workshops, and seeing the impact they have).
It's not true that we humans are cancer for the planet. We can live in many other ways, much more respectful with Mother Nature and (therefore) ourselves. It's only this particular culture ("modernity", we could call it?) that seems to have really lost sight of what being a human is.

Also, I deeply recommend this podcast. Nate brings such rich (not talking about money, of course) and wise people, I've learnt son much!

Sorry for the youtube link. Other ways to listen to it: (sadly all big techs): https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/reality-roundtable-17

The work that reconnects is a spiral, which starts with gratitude. So the first thing that we do when we meet is we share gratitude, but then goes into what Joanna [Macy] used to call despair and empowerment ... but now she calls honoring our pain for the world. And so, we start that with an exploration of the denial of these feelings, the fact that grief, along with rage and terror and despair are rarely welcome. ...the usual response is to try and make it better immediately, to interrupt it. ...it's very unusual for these feelings to be welcome. And one of the consequences of this is a dumbing down of our intelligence and of our ability to act.

What we found is that whenever a group of people gets together to spend a couple of days with the shared intention to heal that illusion of separation, it hardly matters what you do after that, that anything will work, that the experience of incredible opening up and connection, both first to each other, to the other people that we're experiencing this with, and then this feeling of our rootedness in the living earth and the ability to receive inspiration and vision and empowerment from the earth. All of these things come very, very easily.

After decades of propagating very well informed doom'n'gloom, #GeorgeMonbiot has finally clicked on to what #DeepEcology folks like #JoannaMacey and #JohnSeed have been saying for decades. What really motivates people to change is inspiring stories about their part in making the world better, *combined* with the facts of the situation. Doom'n'gloom provokes denial and paralysis, not behavioural change.
