An outpost of sanity, wisdom, care and play in the four fields.
Where, when, and how we are choosing to show up.
Here is an outpost. A gathering place, a wellspring, a campfire. We arrive here in unincorporated territory, both virtual-and-not, to be together. To learn and unlearn, receive and give, re-member sentience in a way often distant, dying, or bound up in the machine of modern, capitalist life. This is not the only outpost of sanity, wisdom, and care. It is one node in a constellation of many such outposts.
Traveling, resting, resisting, protecting, nurturing, living….
The intention of The 4th Season is to provide a space in which to gather, share and practice together. A space rooted in our mutual wisdom, compassion and dignity. The aspiration is to provide enough of a container with accountability, permeable structure, participation and witnessing for individuals to experience their own presence, and the group’s presence. We imagine each season as a place, a time, an unforced flow of being, of doing & not-doing, discovering, and showing up again and again and again...
Each as kin with humans and more-than-humans, as not alone, as curious, hurt, joyful, anxious, sad, bewildered, hopeful or not.
Whether in meditation, contemplation, deep listening, creative nonlinear expressiveness, sharing, being witnessed or witnessing.
How we are living and practicing one thing is how we are living everything.
