Dear Being,
The Team finds a tender spot and invites You closer.…
Dear Being,
My Being is calling your Being forward. Will you move towards? Will you hold my hand and walk with me? My Being sees that your Being is a Living Altar, radiant and so so big. Glowing through the blue or brown or green or grey eyes of you. Pulsing through the pores of the skin of you.
The Women Of Earth Bridge-House is a healing village for experimenting, grieving, raging, holding, being close to Nature.
The invitation here for me is to re-member: how to collaborate on everything, how to never stop asking when I do not know, how to come closer to other woman, how to navigate closer to Reality, how to Hold Space, how to nourish my body with the heart food of Being With and saying what is really going on, how to be on the Path for something bigger than just me, how to keep feeling.
Accessing Anger for carving out space. There are woman here in the House that slice through Bullshit, say what they see, clearly coach other women and the one man that was here for a week in how to let go of “the Show”, the hiding game, the Underworld and Emotions that seep into the space, revealing the vast difference between the inner and outer worlds.
Accessing Fear for aliveness. There are woman here saying “I’m scared because” every day. A woman is screaming high pitched as I write this. I feel scared. She feels scared. He feels scared about getting his head chopped off. He feels scared to not be a good boy. She feels scared about letting go of his old life. She feels scared to be crazy. Each day these Processes go on. Nobody is pretending like these Emotions and Feelings do not not exist. Embracing Fear as a way to be with, to notice, and to heal.
Accessing Sadness for intimacy. This village of Love, where we sit around the dinner table eating a meal for 11 people made of what looked like absolutely nothing the day the groceries ran out, while hosting three extra guests. Then sharing our shifting identity practice and inviting them to do the same. Sadness to reconnect with Earth’s soul, Gaia. To commune with her. To listen to her. To grieve with her and other women. To grieve what we Love and lost.
And accessing Joy for celebration. As I write this one woman gives out loud sounds of grief and anger, while other women cut beets and bake cakes and boil water and blend passion fruit in preparation for an intimacy cafe. We laugh a lot. There are embraces and smiles that come from an authentic brightness that flows in the center of each cell of our bodies.
Here, I have been supported in transitioning from the solidified version of myself, to another experimental identity. I have been invited forward time and time again, to come into contact with the slow and sacred pool of Being. Sitting with two woman and being in a rain drop spaceship with them, falling from a cloud down into the ocean, or into the lake, or into a puddle on a street in a city. No matter where the three of us land, each can bring this new culture along for the ride.
I am awake and keep waking up. I am healed and keep healing. I build my inner structure needed to radiate my Being. I stand in front of you inviting you to radiate.
Together on a Team, the team creates magic. The Team creates things that were not there before. It innovates processes and practices. The team moves through space with Grace and in tune with the vibrations of the Team and grasses and trees and flowers and beetles and moths and birds and rocks and moss and ferns and waters.
The waters touch us deeply in the inherent sensitivity of being Alive, of grieving, of Loving and Losing. The Team finds a tender spot and invites you closer.
Love, Beth
