·      We are in a state of emergency and global collapse. “Polycrisis” means “the situation where numerous crises, such as economic instability, climate change, political polarization, and resource depletion, occur simultaneously and interact with each other in ways that amplify their individual effects, creating a complex and overarching global challenge.” This state demands more of us: a deeper, more radical and fully embodied commitment to show up for the common good.

·      Gliding with the power of spirit will allow for us to move in closer accordance to love and life. It will allow for us to take greater risks, keep us present and accountable, and leave room for mystery and spontaneity.

 

·      Though we cannot affect global change, nor stop collapse, we can enact radical change on small scales. Margaret Weatley refers to these as “pockets of sanity.” Hand-in-hand in with the notion of radical change on a local scale is the social movement ideation of fractals. “Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. How we are at the small scale is how we are at the large scale. The patterns of the universe repeat at scale.” (adrienne marie brown)
