Earth-Based Initiatives for Our Times - Part 5 of the 5-Part Series: Nature with Mbali Marais

How do we practice in these times? The real question is how do we not? Amidst the chaos and conflict of the individual and collective fires raging around us, there is an invitation to find our primary call to creativity and tend to the deep self. When we realise we are not all there is, we awaken to the call to find our wholeness in the mystery and the greater earth story of who and why we are here. 

In this five part elemental series hosted by Braided Wisdom we explore earth-based practices to guide us in this time. These practices are grounded in the five elemental cosmology of the Dagara tradition - fire, water, earth, mineral and nature - and cross-cultural ways of knowing. We will draw from the wisdom of intergenerational circles. We will look to the past in order to support us in the present to move forward and leave a legacy of earth stewardship for the next generations. We will return to the age old practices of radical ritual, contemplative practices, reflection, storytelling, ceremony and the arts. 

Nature

Nature’s mirror reminds us of truth. It invites us to remove the masks of disingenuity and playing small. It calls us back into the magic and mystery of our life, where change and transformation is essential and it moves us to remember that death and rebirth are a part of life.
