There is so much richness in your Ecotone, Matthew Green and Climate conscious team, it gives me hope in what is already happening because this looks like a catastrophic tipping point to me ! but if i can take care of my reactive parts then i can be better re-Sourced within my collective communities. Thank you for bringing psychology, IFS and quantum science together with a wisely trauma informed perspective!
So matthew, If you are guilty of over stating how our collective crises is reflective of our inner traumatic wounding, it may be worth repeating! If repeating means restating reframing or resetting how we talk about this crises of consciousness in our media streams, please do continue speaking out with clarity and forums like the climate consciousness summit and other c+ pocket project creative endeavors!
It seems to me This what can help us compassionate planet protectors avoid overly protective helicopter mama moves and instead focus on how to livestream simple yet powerful media messages like this one by Melinda Janki, lawyer fighting ExxonMobil in her home country of Guyana
“Either we fight the fossil fuel industry and we survive, or the fossil fuel industry survives. It’s one or the other.”
Simple as this.
Oh yes…and maybe more “before” and “after” pictures to go with. I look forward to seeing how we can continue to be creative in how we align and finely attune our collective healing fields🙏
Sage, thank you for this inspiring encouragement, and clear reflection and articulation of the kinds of principles that inform all this work! I share your apprecation of the catastrophic nature of the point we've now reached in the climate system, and also love your reminder to avoid becoming "helicopter mamas" -- the work of enriching our response with the kind of wisdom on offer at the summit (trauma-informed, quantum, re-Sourced) continues no matter what external conditions we may face. So great to cotinue connecting here, and looking forward to reading more from you!
Hi matthew - yes i look forward to getting back into the substack groove with Bodhi and the Muse but it looks like i need to upgrade my tech before i can take full advantage of benefits of using substack app. Yet i am already heartstorming with others about how we can continue to expand our highly resourced trauma collectives where we share common ground and want to make waves like you did with the C+Project Climate Summit. I like your hopeful vision of making waves with the likes of us Quantum Buddhas, artists writers and spiritual pilgrims on behalf of Mother Nature and a New World paradigm of awakened beings. See you again soon 🙂🙏
I was struck by many of these quotes as well, but Zonne’s landed deeply when I heard her say it, in that I saw how the youth have become parentified, like a small child who begins coping by taking on responsibility way beyond there years because the parents are incapacitated with their own inner child wounding, that they can’t show up as parents and take care of the child and allowing the child to be at the age and stage that it is in its development.
I can understand that feeling of straddling two worlds. I felt a two different world-ness between the talks with the climate activists and the other talks. But I did notice as you say that most activists saw contemplation, grounding in community, some meditation and the need for healing important in their work. I’ve been deeply steeped in the healing side of the equation and I guess I haven’t heard activists speak before and I didn’t realize healing at the root wasn’t a big part of the process. I left the summit understanding that the Climate, or all crisis, hasn’t been seen as a need for healing, but that now those two rivers are beginning to join together. I’m excited to keep processing and exploring and seeing what’s possible. And thank you for all the work you put into the summit and how your intention to bridge these two worlds is manifesting through this work.
Tracy, yes I was also very struck by Zonne's statement -- the kind of statement that helps cut through any tendency for my generation to sit back and say "it's okay, the new generation will save us." As you say, these young people have essential become "parentified" by previous generations' failure to address this crisis. And yes, it is exciting to feel "these two rivers" coming together. Thank you so much for all the focus and attention you brought to the summit, it was great to feel your presence in the live calls.
