A Wild New Work

We can align our intentions and our actions with the rhythms of the natural world, and the Summer Solstice is an auspicious time to do so. The Summer Solstice is on June 21st, and it marks the the longest day of the year. On this day, the Sun is at its zenith as it moves into the transformative sign of Cancer.

This short guided visualization will aid you in changing the balance of energy in your body and your working life so that you can become the liberated and powerful person that you are.

“Purpose” is such a large and, at times, cliche topic. But it’s true that your soul has something important to contribute during its time on this planet. In this short bonus episode, I’ll share my view on purpose and how it’s related to our day to day work as well as some updated information about my new class, “Living into Purpose: Stop the drudgery and start doing your truest work.”

One of the fastest ways to access new insights and empowerment in our working lives is to change the language that we use about them. We unconsciously get into loops that say “this is how it is and always will be,” but the reality is far more nuanced and colorful. By choosing different words, we open up to new possibilities for ourselves and our communities.

Your joy is not a luxury. It’s not something that lives outside of you or that can be stolen by draining work. It does, however, need space in which to grow. By giving it space and believing in its importance, it will lead us into greater clarity and purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn a new concept of joy and practical ways to cultivate more of it in simple, embodied ways.

If you’ve been trying to make changes in your life for a while but are feeling worn out or hopeless, this episode is for you.

Disruption, shame, guilt, manipulation: most of us were taught that these are the best ways to get ourselves to change. But the rest of the natural world shows us a different way to get to where we want to go - a path that includes organic shifts over time, self-care, and connection to something larger.

It’s really easy to get sucked into the “little w” work of modern life. Our jobs, businesses, and volunteer engagements can become so demanding that we disconnect from the “big W” Work of becoming people who are resilient in the face of climate change and collapse.

In this episode, you’ll learn a new way of thinking about your day to day work and the larger callings of your life as well as ways you can say “yes” to the challenging and joyful path of being alive right now.

The modern workplace is rife with harmful examples of power because it’s an outgrowth of capitalism, an economic system that requires humans to dominate, manage, and extract all of the resources around them (including other humans).

Within this context, it’s common for people who work to feel disempowered.

In healthy ecosystems, we see how fluid and life-giving power can be. Consider the power of stampeding horses, or a rushing river, or the roar of a protective mother bear.

Your power doesn’t come from being more than anything or anyone else. It comes from being attuned to - and in a relationship with - the relentless heartbeat of Life.

If you’ve been feeling disempowered at work, I invite you to tune into this episode, which is a guided meditation and energy work session focused on your personal agency in relation to work.
