A simple question on the surface, but in times like these, it feels loaded.

We are living through crisis, division, uncertainty, grief, and disillusionment. Our nervous systems are holding more than they were designed to carry. There is more shock in any given news cycle than our bodies can absorb.

And yet: even in these disturbing times, something else is unfolding.

Particularly in my city of Minneapolis, we see new networks of connection and collaboration. Acts of care and solidarity for our neighbors. Where leaders fail, communities of regular people get to work.

These are the murmurations of a necessary cultural rebirth. Minneapolis is showing new possibility for creating change.

As above, So below—the ancient alchemical maxim tells us that what happens in a microcosm (Minneapolis) can eventually inspire change in other microcosms—and eventually, the macrocosm.

If you are someone who is rejecting complacency, hopelessness, or checking out in favor of consciousness and presence, you might not be "ok." But you are part of the sweeping revolution that can usher in a whole new consciousness.

And that is what this work is all about.

And so, whether you are "ok" or "not ok", you are welcome here.
