Transforming Anxiety
into Empowerment
A powerful and unlikely spiritual teacher has arrived, sweeping everyone
into the shadows of its cloak. This teacher has begun to interrupt life as
we know it, showing us the impermanence and fragility of our lifestyle and
our way of seeing the world. This teacher goes by the name of Climate
Change.
We invite you to join us in imagining a new future together. Join in this
special gathering to discover your authentic place in the world and prepare
to offer your soul-level purpose as a gift of service to life in this time.

Six maxims we will explore in council:
1. Work hard to grasp the immensity of the change;
2. cultivate radical hope;
3. have a line in the sand;
4. appreciate the astonishing opportunity of life at this time;
5. train your body and mind;
6. and act for the future generations of all species.

The climate crisis is an initiatory threshold for humanity.
As the Great Climate Disruption gets underway, it brings us right to the
razor's edge of this precious present moment. No past. No future. Just what
is here now. An event such as Climate Change, alongside the overshooting
of the carrying capacity of the Earth and the loss of biodiversity, has the
potential to kill countless millions worldwide. It also has the
potential to be a spiritual initiator for the evolution of humanity.
How so?
In our day-to-day lives, we can easily fall asleep into a homeostatic
trance that preserves the status quo and woefully inhibits our
evolution. A personal or collective crisis has the potential to awaken us
from such slumber.
A personal crisis has the power to thwart our daily routine. Cancer, job
loss, divorce, or loss of a loved one can crack the shell of ingrained
habits and initiate us into a journey of self-discovery.
A collective crisis has the potential to wake up the masses. The Great
Climate Disruption serves as a potential species-wide initiatory event. When
we recognize the possibility that Climate Change may kill millions, it can
activate dormant intelligences, bringing into consciousness such powerful
spiritual inquiries as:
Who am I?
What am I to do?
What is my purpose, place, destiny?
What if we could live in a mythology of inter-being with all of life?
Our Invitation to Sacred Council
We invite you to participate in a LIVE Zoom council—transforming anxiety into
empowerment. Encountering our anxiety and fear is vital if we are to see
this crisis with clarity and be at full strength in meeting this
crisis. Merely remaining in either denial or survival mode—attempting to
either brush it off or tough it out—keeps the heart stuck in a frozen
condition. Having a safe place, a sacred council, allows the tender heart
to thaw, and to express and transform its pent up emotions. This process is
key for moving from desperation to empowerment.
You are invited to this special Zoom gathering where we'll meet
this Climate Change moment:
- First, we will meet our understandable anxiety and fear.
- Then, we will transition to empowerment, by connecting with our soul's
deep purpose.

iceberg. Meeting the pandemic, as difficult as it was (and still is) can be
seen as a dress rehearsal for meeting the existential threats that are now
beginning to crash upon our shores.
