Over the last month or more, whatever we thought was ‘normal’, has been disrupted at individual and collective levels. We are grateful to be located amongst you all and many other committed beings, who have been trying to respond to the scenario in life-giving ways. It has also been spectacular to notice a variety of responses unfolding in us, emerging of course from our deeper places of understanding, beliefs and worldviews. In us and around us, while a lot is being disrupted, something new is also taking birth, a glimmer of hope through the cracks.
Since last one month, we have been
- Engaging in reflection and sense making of this moment
- Volunteering for Relief Work
- Connecting with several ecosystems to get a pulse
- Doing chores at home :)
The call for these times, are multiple. Supporting relief work for migrant workers. Making our families safe / dialogue spaces. Look inward and build spiritual energy. Support the government or hold it accountable. Notice the new emergences and support them. Or forget the macro, clean up your house :) Or is it a call to slow down and realign with nature’s rhythm.
What does it mean to act in alignment with one’s swadharma? has been a question I have held. Another important one has been how do I be aware of my privilege not disconnected from the whole self rather as a collective responsibility endowed on me?
With humility, we wish to offer a series of initiatives to notice and support the hope that is emerging through the cracks. Beginning last Sunday with the webinar on growing food at home, where we received overwhelming response and over 170 people showed up - we shall be offering reflective spaces, content and experiments.
