"The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light
in the darkness of mere being.” — Carl Jung
Last week I caught up with my friend and colleague Luea Ritter. Together with Nancy Zamierowski (Zam) she runs Collective Transitions. They help businesses, organizations and groups to "build shared capacity for fostering and maintaining transformational shifts".
We talked a lot about their work with Systemic Constellations. She shared this article with me that they published last winter. It describes a way to share our own individual and collective power to help navigate transformational shifts from a human culture that is frighteningly disconnected from nature and each other.
"Many of us working in social change or social innovation fields have built networks among people who share similar values inspired by living systems, regeneration, and holistic practices. Like mycelium, these networks span across people and organizations yet are more or less functioning 'underground' compared to the mainstream.
"How do we show up and become visible for those who are searching for guidance, hope and practical solutions, at this moment in time? How do we become 'light towers' individually and collectively? Light towers help travelers better orient themselves at night and in times of turbulent waters. If there are three or more points of reference, navigational wayfinding becomes easier. The more differentiated the points, the more accurate the reading."
