The Inquiry
Lifeforce as guiding principle for organizing communities
A Field for the Community of the Future
Sacred Systems is an emerging network, knowledge base and field of inquiry for groups, communities and regenerative initiatives in service to Life. Join us on a journey across cosmologies, disciplines, cultures and continents, as we begin to unravel the answers to the question: how can we create the conditions through which Life can guide us home?
What we are exploring.
No one knows what the community of the future will look like - and that uncertainty is not a problem to solve, but an essential stage of emergence. We explore the conditions that allow something new to emerge. Something more alive, mysterious, and… uncertain.
The questions that shape our inquiry:
How can lifeforce serve as a guiding principle for creating thriving & lasting cultures and coherent communities?
How can masculine & feminine forces of creation serve life by unleashing their polarities?
How will a rebalancing of masculine & feminine qualities change the way we organize ourselves, relate to one another, live in community and interact with the living world?
We don't know where these questions will take us - that is part of our work. We are listening, learning, experimenting and gathering what emerges - in dialogue with those who are already walking these paths, and with the intelligence of life itself.
From Vision to Lived Community
The work of our time
Primarily, our work is to listen - and to share what we hear with our community. This can take many forms: research, conversations, gatherings, relationship weaving, land journeys, etc.
We are interested in connecting people who are asking similar questions; We want to learn from communities already experimenting with emergent ways of living and knowing; We want to gather wisdom from different traditions and disciplines, and explore what becomes possible when these streams meet. And we want to help turn insight into lived practice.
Because we believe that the community of the future will emerge through networks of relationships between people who are willing to learn together, experiment together and remain in relationship with what life is asking of us.
“The only purpose that can hold sufficient complexity is the intention to continuously be in service of life, or in other words to act in service of the Creating Feminine.This is a deeply embodied leadership practice, far from using a written purpose statement as an endeavor’s main guidance. The Creating Feminine is the void from which new life emerges, she is the apparently random movements that underlie evolution. She is what grants us access to that which we do not already know. If we do not build in service of her, we will only create more of that which we already have. It is precisely this shift; from extraction of the feminine to service of her, that humanity desperately needs to keep thriving on this planet.”
