Who is Your Primary Employer?

Life chose two work stations for me. How about you? Who is your primary employer?

“...our well being is something that is achieved collectively by encouraging other people to do beautiful things.”

Life chose two workstations for me. The first one I was assigned at birth. Born into the wreckage of war, I don’t remember a time when the question of “Why? was not pressing against some part of my consciousness.

Why? Why do we humans continue to commit acts of unfathomable cruelty? Why is the “us versus them” ethos so appealing to the injured, revenge-plotting part of us? How do we nurture the gestation of a human-type that wishes no harm?

The second workstation came much later, when I was denied something I wanted more than anything else. A baby.  Not long after the arrival of my “inconceivable daughter, the fertility/infertility world became my second work station.

For me, those two assignments are closely linked. How can I possibly continue to walk along people wishing to bring a child into our world, without encouraging an active engagement in making that world a whole lot more life-friendly for them and for all of creation?

 This new platform hopes to be one more way I’d love to pursue deeper truths in the context of those two subjects: Fertility and infertility in the deepest sense of those words and the roots of violence.

I intend to invite conversation through:

Live Zoom Birthing Circles using the ideas and tools of the Fertile Heart Birthing Practice to support the conception of projects that contribute to our individual and collective healing.

Podcast/conversations with teachers whose work encourages a more aware, life-sustaining approach to being human.

If either one of those topics is of interest to you, I’d love you to join me.

Love,

Julia
