Living inside contexts that do not orient to what matters most to you has consequences, even when you are capable, perceptive, and sincere. Effort increases, but clarity does not keep pace. You spend energy not only evaluating your own reactions and choices, but constantly translating yourself in relation to others. You are trying to act, speak, and participate among people who are not registering the same signals or working within shared meaning-making.

We no longer ask "What is this teaching me?" but "What's wrong with me for feeling it?"

Rooted spirituality begins where the ‘ascend, expand, evolve’ slogans end. We grow roots into the relational field and LISTEN. We listen to what arises, what pulls, what needs.
