future blessings ii // a practice and visioning workshop

What would you have told yourself about this time six months ago? What seeds would you like to plant in your future life?

My daughter asked me that first question during a recent morning play-session. We talked about it for awhile, and once we got through the functional, survival and justice-oriented responses of foreseeing both a pandemic and a people’s uprising, we both landed in a relational place.  Do I think those practices and skills go hand in hand? Oh yes I do.

And as much as I enjoyed our look back (what would you tell yourself?), the question oriented me to the future. Now that the nervous systems have acclimated to the pace of life during the pandemic and to the new pitch of our opportunities to dismantle and unlearn white supremacist structures and thought-patterns, what are we doing for our future selves? What ideas can we care for and actions can we encourage now for six months from now?

The trick is, we don’t know exactly what life will look like in late November; we could be back in quarantine, or we could be in some modified quarantine, or we could be in some other state altogether. This mystery space is where our ability to imagine, to envision, to dream lives. What can you do now for future you? What can you do now for future us?

If the possibility of coming together (VIRTUALLY) to meditate, chant, move, breathe, envision and create calls to you, then I invite you to join us on Saturday, June 27, 1-3pm for future visions ii.

WHAT ARE FUTURE BLESSINGS?

Future Blessings is/are a response to reactionary, myopic systems that fail to see beyond the short-term wants of an individual. It’s a framework for coming together to do long-term planning and long-term practice. it’s practice FOR the benefit of future generations.
