How do you stay upright and afloat amidst being knocked around?

How do you stay sane amidst strain?

How do you stay a light amidst a world-class pummeling by darkness?

I am curious what your answers are.

On Monday of this week, I had big plans to get Moon Dunes Loons launched. Then, the urgent need for ceremony struck me, and blasted all items off my desk and calendar like a bomb through brick walls, and I found myself wandering in the cemetery grieving instead.

How good it is that beauty is mixed with pain

Some might label my behavior "disorganized." A notion that makes me giggle inside, more often than it makes me wince.

I believe I am actually a highly organized being. One who is organized intrinsically—by flow, rather than extrinsically—by pressure.

In other words—one who is free. How radical!

There is something about the staying with flow... something in the staying with what you feel and with what feels most alive...

that is abiding the Wild within you.

Wild may seem disorganized. But it is anything but. It's a window into complex systems' self-organizing behaviors.

This week's audio piece in the Moon Dunes Loons series is entitled "The Agenda is Rewilding." It is the why behind my personal motivation to caringly accompany people out to the great outdoors for ceremony.

I want to invite the wildness out there to shape the wild being that you are.

I want you to be sculpted by your truths and reorganized by your wisdom.

I want you to develop the autonomy to act self-sufficiently and holistically in all your moments, no matter the circumstances.

I want you to remember yourselves as Be-ings, sovereign, vital, and capable of distilling powerful wisdom from your awarenesses.

This week's recording is the only publicly-available one from the current series. That means this track is open for everyone to listen and share it with whomever they like! All other audio pieces in this series are accessible by donation or by becoming a monthly member of Fractal Praxis.

Get the audio series for free when you register for the actual Moon Dunes Loons—my upcoming guided group outing at the Great Sand Dunes.

I am pleased to report that the Moon Dunes Loons page is launched! 🎉 Here's a peek:

Invitations to Moon Dunes Loons shall be going out to select individuals for this awesome offering this week. If you want to get on that invite list, do, do, do let me know! 🌕✨

That is all for now. I'm pooped from my processes upon processes this week and this processor is ready to power down and coast through the weekend.

Yet I shall lay myself to rest with the satisfaction and great honor of this life I lead. Following my intuition, embracing emergence, actually following through on Fractal Praxis' promise after years' of cultivation, and equipping myself, through dreams as much as through doing, of taking that next brave step into the wind. As wild as any.

...As soon as my rousing is required. 💤

In the name of Aliveness, and the thriving of all Beings, Your friend in liberation,

C.
