An Alternative to Doomscrooling
Remembering the power of our actions
Dear ones,
Intentionally unplugging from the collective noise, showing up for my emotional process, and then leaning into solutions has allowed me to remain connected to my imagination and creative life force during times of uncertainty.
When we catch ourselves getting dragged down by the noise we can:
1. Make the CHOICE to show up in our local communities and create/contribute something solution-based.
2. Lean into communal gathering and witnessing to ALCHEMIZE these experiences through our bodies & psyches.
3. Dig into skill-building for navigating these times well-resourced.
Yesterday, I had someone in my town ask me if death doulas also support in times of collective death/fear/grief… & I would argue that is one of the main reasons for this work at this time…‼️
Death work is about standing in the face of uncertainty/upheaval, strong emotional reactions, division & confusion…
Unshakable.
Steady.
Willing to lean in.
We all spend so much time online seeing the atrocities in the world but how much time are we spending together to move it through the body? To listen to our hearts and be seen in our humanity?
How much time are we taking to gather in our communities and dream up solutions? 👀
If you’ve been craving a space to unplug from the fear that’s being pumped into the air, I encourage you to check out my upcoming workshop.
It is for ANYONE who wants to being building the skills and resources to show up for their community amidst uncertainty.
Death work IS community work & it’s coming for us all.
Sending love & strength,
Lisa Marie xoxo
