Weaving a new beginning
Each transition begins with an ending. Then comes a new beginning, but only if we can let go and embrace the zero-point from which all things grow. Right now, we are in the midst of many endings. We are in the awkward in-between space where nothing is defined, where we are dealing with our losses, and where it is hard to imagine the new. But imagine we must do.
It is time to start reinventing and renegotiating the way that we inhabit this planet. This is work that needs to take place from within the old structures; the so-called “belly of the monster”. It is both spiritual and pragmatic, rooted in both science and ancient indigenous knowledge. It is a practice of both/and; of sharp discernment and of gentle inclusion.
A time for joyful reconstitution
My name is Omi-peah Ryding and I am an Earthkeeper, an artist, a researcher, and a facilitator of change. I believe that new beginnings are possible, because I have seen it happen. I have seen change happen in situations where I felt no hope. I have seen it happen in environments that were toxic and unforgiving. I have seen it happen within myself as I gradually found ways to thrive in uncertainty.
We live in a world of many worlds. We live in a time of trickery and of great beauty. We are different and the same. We are capable of many things. What we dream about matters. How we step into life matters. Therefore, I am calling out to you:
I’m here. Let’s co-create the future together.
