About these gatherings:

Falling into Place is an invitation that’s evolved into a seasonal ritual and personal commitment to meaningful service in these times. Just as planting an acorn, knowing we will never sit under the shade of the Oak tree, is a gift to future generations, so too is restoring proper integrity to endings a contribution to the fertility inherent in what remains.

External demands to continually “rise to the occasion” have compromised vital inner territory and renewal on the back side of letting go. Repeatedly “rising to the occasion” (because culturally it’s honourable to do so), has an invisible cost. We are finding that a cyclical, seasonal experience of “falling into place” is a necessary and powerful counter balance to demands to “rise to the occasion”. The vocabulary of de-growth, letting go and rest isn’t mainstream in western culture and burn-out is now planetary.

There is a restorative power in supporting each other as we deepen capacity to be with endings, name our losses and honour them. Endings done well can become a portal into clear thinking, peace and a solid sense of next steps.

This simple on-line format enables informal community with soulful, courageous co-travellers. We’d love to have you join us in this quiet, radical activism.
