Village Roadmap
Sacred Earth - Sacred Culture - Sacred Economy
Imagine a world, where the culture, economy and ecology reflect your truest values… so that they sustain, rather than destroy life...
Sacred Systems offers guidance to restore the container of the Village through reciprocal relationships.
Sacred Culture.
Our Relationship to Self & Others. Where we remember how to belong, communal rituals of celebration, grief, and healing keep us in connection with the sacred, and we practice the fine arts of collaboration, communication, and sharing power & responsibility. Where feminine & masculine polarities restore their co-creative dance, and Eros/lifeforce infuses everything. Read more.
Sacred Reciprocity.
Our Relationship to the greater Web of Life. Delicate dance of giving & receiving that sustains life. Rooted in relationship, trust, respect, generosity & gratitude, and the feeling that ‘we’re in this together’. Read more.
Sacred Earth.
Our Relationship to the more-than-human world. Where regenerative practices & Earth based spirituality meet; where our relationship with the Earth is rich & sensuous, and tending to the Earth becomes an act of devotion, a prayer, and an opportunity to give back. Embodied deep ecology; kincentric Leadership. Read more.
Sacred Economy.
Our Relationship to Resources & Gifts. Sacred Economies function like forests: Nothing is wasted, everything is shared, the flow of gifts & resources foster relationships, and prosperity is measured by the health of the whole system. Wealth moves in service of renewal rather than extraction, with every exchange offering something back to the land. People freely share their unique gifts and medicines, free from greed or fear of lack. Read more.
“Knowing that you love the Earth changes you, it activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the Earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond."
- Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass.
