'We don't arrive - we grow.'
The Poetics of Becoming has completed its unfolding - and something in all of us will never be quite the same.
This was a descent into the living terrain where identity is not fixed but formed again and again - through myth and ceremony, through deep imagination and embodied encounter, through the slow and necessary work of grieving what no longer fits and listening for what is quietly, insistently emerging. We went where the small story ends and the larger one begins. We let symbol ripen into lived existence. We let life speak in wild sounds.
Together with my awesome co-guide , we guided a courageous circle of humans through 7 days of poetics, myth-telling, somatic practice, ceremony and wild kinship with the living world - in the sacred mountains of Romania.
The Earth held us.
The myth carried us.
Mystery had its way with us, as it always does when we are brave enough to show up with our heart wide open.
Becoming - by unfurling. By grieving. By serving. By being surprised by your own depth.
Deepest gratitude and awe to every soul who entered this fertile, demanding, beautiful dance with open hearts and fierce curiosity. You are the poem. You were always the poem.
