August 2024 Focus

August 2024 - Unstatus Quo

Monthly Context:  

We have come to expect a status quo in our spiritual community. We tend to know what to wear, who we will see, what the topics will be, when the music and treatment will happen… everything! When we only operate in the status quo, we miss so much of the beauty and growth that happens when we move outside of our “normal” and step into the beyond. Here lives a rich community, variety of topics, ideas, and things that we often stuff down because it would be “inappropriate.” What we forget is that when we have these “taboo” topics in spiritual community, we isolate those for whom these topics are at the forefront of their lives. Sex, Marginalization, Trauma, Abuse, Disabilities, Ableism, Addiction, Shame, Chronic Illness, Mental Health, Consent, Racism, Poverty, Food Insecurity, Queerness, Grief, Politics… we are all impacted by one or more of these human experiences. We all deserve to have a grand rising, and so we must be willing to embrace the wholeness of humanity, including those things we would rather ignore, especially in spiritual community. Oneness equals wholeness and therefore no topic is taboo!
