Return to Mother: Community Praise Ritual
Where we put our attention matters.
Micaiah shared with me today the work of Sherri Mitchell, who created the 80/10/10 rule. We put 10% of our attention on the problems and where harm is coming from. Then another 10% in actively protecting from harm coming towards us. And 80% on creating, living, and embodying the kind of world we want to live in.
Being in praise and gratitude for the earth and for life has been such a part of my unfolding. Wild rose is one of my teachers, kindred plants, and ancestral connections. They are at the heart of how grief medicine flows through me. Their medicine is awakening wild joy and aliveness where we have become apathetic, stuck, lost to ourselves. They continue to teach me so much about how important it is to cultivate joy and intimately know our place in the web of life.
That’s the kind of world I want to live in. Where we prioritize gratitude for being alive and focus on the bountiful abundance the earth and all of creation offers us everyday. Not disconnected from the suffering, along side it as an act of love, agency, and empowerment. Giving back to what matters. Literally. The root word of matter being mater, meaning origin, source, mother. Feeding life with our grief and joy, tears and laughter, in connection and community.
This is going to be an beautiful gathering. Our dear friend Emma will be support facilitating with Micaiah. They both have so much to offer, and their connection to the earth is palpable and inspiring. If this calls to you I highly recommend.
