Right now is a time full of much confusion, a lot of fear, and a lot of…
…Wondering what can be done to fight back on a bigger level than ever before (because it’s obviously so needed).
This is actually the reason a lot of organizing spaces disintegrate or become full of more conflict than repair (to the point where you may be considering/already have left).
This is why I’m doing a session on Locating Yourself Through Longing.
While fear and overwhelm are completely understandable, we can’t let them take over spaces designated for important collaboration.
Love is more powerful than fear.
(Love for yourself and others.)
Love is more powerful than triggers, disagreements, or even fascist governments.
Now here’s where we have to make “love” very practical and tangible. Or else it becomes a cliche phrase people put up on flags outside their houses, instead of being the force that drives care, mutual aid and effective resistance.
THIS WEDNESDAY (November 27th) I’m doing a live community session inside of Liberation Practice Field.
(Yes, there’s still a little time left for you to join.)
Longing is one of the most powerful ways to connect to love - within your practical, tangible BODY.
How often do you close off to imagining a better world, because you don’t want to get your hopes up?
(And the body constricts. The shoulders slump. The legs get pushed together. The head goes down.)
How often do you deny yourself care and pleasure because you feel you must suffer along with those who are suffering?
(When JOY is a strong force of resistance. This is something no one can take away from you.)
How often do you revert to the worst-case scenario when strategizing ideas to make a difference (and thus don’t end up trying them), instead of visualizing a better future?
(When your ancestors are literally behind you backing you up, giving you their wisdom and strength, showing you you’re capable of so much more.)
Leaning into longing is needed now more than ever.
Let’s gather and work towards the truth of living in possibilities (you’re growing hair and nails as you’re reading my words now)
Let’s breathe into the eroticism of deep desire.
Let’s revolutionize spaces of care (yes, especially the spaces where you are pouring care into others) with the openness of potential and possibilities.
Liberation Practice Field is a place for you to be at home among other abolitionist agents - coming home to their bodies and moving towards liberation. Together.
You can read all the details and join here.
Locating Yourself through Longing happens live, this Wednesday at 6pm CET/12pm EST/9am PST
Join our radical community and come to the session live if you can. (Either way, you will get lifetime access to the recording as part of the Liberation Practice Field program.)
Much practical and tangible love to you,
Care
