A hopeful, wise, and practical guide to help us move into spaces of
individual and collective healing, community, and relationship
building--with practices to shed our isolation, connect, and thrive.
In times of isolation, heartbreak, and brokenness, reaching out to each
other, being in conversation, finding ways to connect with compassion
and openness can help us heal, and thrive. This powerful, positive guide
coaxes us to go beyond our individual and collective grief, and
courageously re-enter and reclaim our sense of community--which then
further strengthens our spiritual practice.
Through spiritual teachings drawn from the Bhagavad Gita, mindfulness
practices, rituals, resources, and journaling prompts in each chapter,
Michelle Cassandra Johnson shows us how we can heal and facilitate
healing; reclaim what it means to hold space and build community; find
joy; connect to and summon support from our ancestors; connect with
nature to strengthen and restore ourselves; and love, alchemize, dream,
and conjure in community.
Examples of practices include journaling on what community means to you;
meditation with a ritual object; progressive muscle relaxation; Yoga
Nidra; and many more--all adapted for use alone or in a group. Includes
simple, evocative line drawings by Vashon Island, WA-artist, Ivan Moy.
