Spotlight on Kindness – A Weekly Offering – Presented by Kindspring
May 22 @ 12:00 am

 


SPOTLIGHT ON

KINDNESS

A WEEKLY OFFERING

 

Editor’s Note: Human beings are capable of great feats, incredible ways of contributing to our families, and communities. And yet at the same time, we can also be really messy, and bump up against each other’s shortcomings. Our lofty ideals of perfection about ourselves and of others may be setting us up for failure. Perhaps it is not so much perfection that we should aim for, but simply just compassion. –Guri

“YOU’RE IMPERFECT, AND YOU’RE WIRED FOR STRUGGLE, BUT YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE AND BELONGING.” –BRENE BROWN

 

VIDEO OF THE WEEK

Is perfection a lie that we’ve been told all of our lives? In this short energizing video, Prince Ea has a powerful message about questioning our ideals about trying to be perfect.

Time Capsule Project: Knowledge across time

Time capsules reflect the values of a current culture, but are designed within an imagined future. They exist across time holding hopes, fears, and desires for a future civilization.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Village Building Convergence, Artist Jordan Rosenblum is working in collaboration with City Repair and event organizers will use the form of a time capsule as a collective artwork. The time capsule will document knowledge and insight generated during the events and you are invited to participate, dreaming our future/s, and acknowledging our present/s through a series of questions posed at each event.

On the closing of the VBC, a time capsule will be created in a distributed form, with participants offered to take back accumulated knowledge to our own communities.

AND!!! Stay tuned for info as we will be breaking out a time capsule the City Repair founders prepared and buried in cob 20 years ago. We’re going to break it open and share the contents over VBC!

PAINT PRAY FLOW @ online
Jun 1 @ 12:00 am

Beginning June 1st!

Wise Woman Center • PO Box 64 • Woodstock, NY 12498 

There is a new body of work that is nudging you from the inside

ready to come to life!

This is the powerful creative pressure that can bring you to your knees…and believe it or not this is actually a good thing. When you surrender the mental loop of the WHAT and HOW and shift into A Prayer for Support and Guidance – your creative process will never be the same.

  • Strengthen your relationship with the Divine and your Creative Spirit, so you can create the pathway to ease-fully bring forward your Sacred Body of Work.
  • Address wounds and old patterns that surface as you step into your power, so you can continue expanding into your authentic self.
  • Creatively contribute to the world during this transformative time, so you’re finally able to live your vision of making the world a better place through your creative work.
  • Incorporate spiritual and creative practices into your daily routine, to strengthen your connection to your power, let go of patterns that no longer serve you and access creative freedom, play and your next level of creativity.
  • And so much more.
When you have a solid devotional and creative practice you will have the focus, confidence and power to create what is calling you and bring your sacred work to life!

This is why my friend Alexis Cohen, visionary artist, creativity mentor, and shamanic practitioner has created Paint, Pray, Flow.  It’s a complimentary interview series, starting June 1st, 2020.

It brings together more than 25 artists, healers, teachers and visionaries, including me! We will share our creative wisdom, tools and hands-on-techniques to connect to Divine Love, Peace and Prosperity.

Whether you’re new to the world of creativity and spirituality or a seasoned pro, this series is designed to support you as you collaborate with Divine Love and take your creativity to the next level!
