INDIGENOUS STEWARDSHIP OF LANDS WE LOVE

Collaborations for the reclamation of the lands we love are under way across the south land and the great state of California. The necessary work of community care, cultivating the conditions for reconnection, healing, giving back what was stolen, asking for forgiveness and atonement by way of reparations, good policies and harmony with the earth and it's many inter-relational ecosystems.

Special thanks to Lázaro Arvizu, Tongva culture bearer, for his vision, leadership, sharing of his gifts, wisdom and time on setting the path forward. Thanks to The BirdHouse for introducing us to these land back movements and its stewards. Thanks for the gracious guidance to continue on the biophilic path as we listen with hearts open of how we may best be of service to the plans of our native leaders, nature's call and the whispers on the wind for our highest good on earth.

It's true. We know a very little about a lot of things, and are endlessly curious and keep showing up for our earth, for the plants, for biophilia, for each other, for the stories to heal and grow our consciousness, and for the arts and ecology within each of us, verdant land and spirit for new ways of being, without answers, in support of the original stewards of the lands we love.

Yes. It requires doing the work, with Cities, Counties, State and Federal, it involves shifts in thinking, to return, repair and restore our lands, air and sea. Our hearts cry out for new loving systems while we witness what hasn't worked, old ideas falling into obsolescence. It might be easy to point blame, at Corporations, lobbyists, developers, neighbors, this person, or the other person. But, life, what is most alive, requires more resilience, it requires loving action, less knowing and more experiencing the necessary work to move through. AND, it is on us all to expect more.

We joined our dear land charmer, Indy Rishi, a strategic systemic metamorphosis movement builder for farmers, teachers and healers in one of his beautiful community events to uplift, grow and serve our urban neighborhoods at his native plant labyrinth build out offering at the Lopez Urban Garden in Pomona.

Just beyond this tree planted in the last century we set about building a native plant labyrinth on a patch of dirt at the far east corner of the Lopez Urban Farm.

Tree Loving on a Beautiful Day

GOTTA BE STARTING SOMETHING

Under the stewardship of Mama Tree Farms Abudu Asaase  he had designed a labyrinth with native plants donated for the offering. The community came together to clear the land, dig the holes and follow the plant plan for this sacred symbol to bring healing to this space and place in southern California. We learned native plants are a beginning. Tending to the garden with love, while listening to nature to the wisdom keepers of land, soil, air and waters is a beginning. Growing in collective pathways for each other and the possibilities for nature's peace and prosperity.

What's good for our land, air and sea is good for all of us. Indigenous communities are returning nature's grace, reclaiming knowledge destroyed through traumas of poison, destruction, murder and remembering the necessary work for revitalization of the land.

Enter the sacredness of your truest home, that space where love and forgiveness meets an open heart becoming a soulful force of nature. Become today someone who is full and rich and free of the past judgments and dramas and struggles.

INSPIRING LOCAL COMMUNITY GARDENS

HAVE A VISION FOR THE WORK YOU ARE HERE TO DO

Give yourself to what brings you most alive. Tend to things that bring you joy. Live in the light of all you are and enjoy communion with your inner power.

For US, we don't know what we don't know. We have no solutions, other than to listen to your heart, take the loving action you know needs to be done.

We take steps in the direction of our all systems love practices everyday. We develop stories from a healed, whole, loving point of view. We focus on local connection, we shop from women owned businesses. We build economies, collectively in collaboration and harmony. We engage in permaculture, community care, mutual aid, pickin' kitchens with the Hollywood Orchard, urban ecosystem restoration practices. We participate in regenerative agriculture. We tend to spaces in need of soil/soul regeneration. We clean up areas flooded with toxins, left barren, dirty and utilize what we have learned about native plants, species and water flow.

Andiamo.

The Artist and the Psyche in Collaboration. A Testament to Transcendent Loving Storytelling.

As our world shifts to loving alignment in service to a 21st Century storytelling renaissance. It helps to consider the recognition of shadow work involved in ascension.

To put us into the field of possibilities for this loving insight, we introduce the Jungian exploration of art and the psyche because, our collective shadows are being projected before us, obscuring the way. As we collectively move through decolonizing our thinking, healing, organizing, taking kind action, realizing a new timeline for the world, returning to all earth mother energies of biophilia, we're highlighting the work of Carl Jung.

Jung says "genius lies beyond the wound." Art is an instrument to move beyond our wounds, projections, and traumas. It acknowledges the care and work required to heal them within a wholeness pattern. The muses are mechanisms for storytelling, as our greatest victory of 'self' lies on the other side of the shadows, what we can't see, sometimes referred to as fearful perceptions 'shadows' born of past patterns. Perception is different for everyone, because it changes with the perceiver, shifting based on experience, the lens we use to access it, and, it can be healed as perception of it shifts in connection. Truth in this way co-creates new pathways sourcing the deepest alignment of our soul's code.

If your heart is beating, you are connected to the electricity of life. All of it. Each beat sends messages to your bodies cellular systems to activate, regenerate, operate and grow. In this way, the heart beat is an evolving expression of our loving conscious aliveness to make manifest our soul's code.

The Psyche and Love as Constellations of Possibility

From Jung on the Artist.

The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself,   quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle. The creative urge lives and grows in him like a tree in the Earth from which it draws its nourishment. We would do well, therefore, to think of the creative process as a living thing implanted in the human psyche. 

It is like a deeply river-bed in the psyche, in which the waters of life, instead of flowing along as before in a broad but shallow stream, suddenly swell into a mighty river.  This happens whenever that particular set of circumstances is encountered which over long periods of time has helped to lay down the primordial image.  

The moment when this mythological situation reappears is always characterized by a peculiar emotional intensity; it is as though chords in us were struck that had never resounded before, or  as though forces whose existence we never suspected were unloosed. What makes the struggle for adaptation so laborious is the fact that we have constantly to be dealing with individual and atypical situations. So it is not surprising that when an archetypal situation occurs we suddenly feel an extraordinary sense of release, as though transported, or caught up by an overwhelming power. At such moments we are no longer individual, but the race; the voice of all mankind resounds in us like Wordsworth’s discordant elements that move in one society

I heard the guy who edited the Carl Jung's Red Book talking about how anybody who has been in therapy can attest that no one knows anything but somehow everything is revealed. The unconscious is at work and wants to be known, to be created in every encounter. It is the grand universal experience of our processes on earth, always spinning, breathing, growing, dying, changing as the possibility miracles of call response, love, connection, can be born in each moment.

Decolonizing your Art with your Breath Practices

For those working with their connected breathe and energy workouts, we go all the way back to the beginnings of the last century. to activate Jung's work with the 'breath of fire' yogic practices.

"Carl Jung’s seminar on Kundalini yoga, presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in 1932, has been widely regarded as a milestone in the psychological understanding of Eastern thought and of the symbolic transformations of inner experience. Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model for the developmental phases of higher consciousness, and he interpreted its symbols in terms of the process of individuation." Collected into The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga by Princeton University Press.

Kundalini and Bioenergy are expressions of the same energetic reality in humans. Through social conditioning and emotional traumata, this life energy is usually suppressed and blocked in chronic subconscious muscle tensions, which have their psychological counterpart in emotional blocks and ego-defenses. When this “muscle armor” (as bioenergy calls it) is softened or broken and/or the live energy is amplified by strong emotion or in life-endangering situations, the body begins to shake and vibrate involuntarily, and the Kundalini energy starts reanimating formerly repressed psychosomatic areas. If this development is not suppressed again (or even supported), the resulting Kundalini rising will bring old traumata of body and psyche to the surface in a sort of natural healing process—partly very intense as well as radically changing. 

We've entered these realms to work in a new form of biophiliac story-telling. Biophlia is defined as the love of all living things. Eco/Bio/Energies, the frequencies of the universe. Grow. Create. Practice the muses. Live artistically. Express your loving. Work with your hands as an expression of the heart. Do it. Now.

Every day the unconscious thoughts unblock as the work of radiating harmonic loving broadcasts. The necessary work continues to bring about miracles. When our practice of peaceful alignment with the source of all thing in love is in balance, we get to experience God’s great wonders working through me. Loving thought heals perceptions to a divine inner state of vision and peace where we are in full knowing of heaven on Earth.
