FOR EARTH - ORIGINS, INSPIRATION, INFLUENCES
For Earth is, an attempt to bring together a number of overlapping teachings and thinkings relevant to civilisatiinal change and transition at this particular juncture, combining together the work of Avatara and the transhimilayan teachings, the work of deep adaption by Jem Bendell, the work of Joanna Macy and the Work That Reconnects, The Work of Satish Kumar, Stephen Harding and Schumacher College, and the inspirations of writers, prophets and poets including Sophie Strand, Bayo Akomolafe, Maya Luna, Ocean Vuong, Mary Oliver, Yeshua and Mary Magdelene, J.K. Rowling, Philip Pullman, J.R.R Tolkein, Spirit of The Lion, all brought together and synthesised into what can hopefully become a living mythology and vehicle for radical civilisational shift, now, out of the rubble, that can live through and in multiple people, where the mythology of our times is co-created out of a living shared living muscle memory of what it means to be human, together.
For Earth, it feels, has been for me, 15-20 years in the preparation, it has taken me across continents, through art institutions and mystery schools, through various emerging spiritual and cultural community, through Ecological activism, to the edge of the Arctic circle and to the edge of war zones, into the wild territories and origins of the holy roman empire and the roots of western civilisation, to understand, to synthesise, and to gather enough holy fire to hopefully breathe what I believe For Earth wants to be, into existence.
The hope is this. That if this prayer that For Earth carries has life at its core, it finds its own wings. It finds the people who are meant to find their way to it. To bring it out into existence. Into the world. I bring what I have seen, what I have dreamed and been given, what I have listened to before you now, humbly to the ground of our times, so you may sense whether there is life in these bones, and if there is life here, then it may rise.
