Welcome. Take a breath. Pause.
Sip some tea and allow.
Allow yourself to be. To be however you are, right now, in this one single moment.
Allow yourself to be present with what is. To feel well, to feel uncomfortable, to grieve, to celebrate,
to laugh, or to cry. Allow yourself to receive love, to give love, to share love, and to be love.
Welcome to a space where we practice loving boundaries, deep listening, compassionate accountability, and acceptance. In this space we take responsibility for how we be in relationship to other beings and the world around us. This is a space that recognizes self discipline as a form of self love and self care as community care.
“ May the doors of this house be wide enough to receive all who hunger for love.
May the doors of this house be wide enough to receive all who are lonely for friendship.
May this house welcome all who have cares to unburden, hopes to nurture, and prayers to whisper or sing.
May the doors of this house be narrow enough to shut out pettiness and pride and enmity.
May its' threshold be too high to admit selfishness, and harshness, and complacency.
May its' threshold be so low that is it never a stumbling block to young feet or, old feet, or broken or tired feet.
As it has welcomed us, each one, may this house be a home for all that would enter, with doors wide open and windows shining welcome. “
- Jewish Prayer Of Welcome -
Welcome to a space where we learn together and teach each other. A space we are each called into at just the moment, and no one is ever ahead of the other. This is a space for healing and grieving and celebrating. It is a space to honor all that is lost and all of the blessings that swirl around and within those losses.
Welcome to a space where we practice to transform ourselves, knowing that this is the necessary first step in the larger transformation of community and the world around us. In this space we ask questions, and rarely find immediate answers. We welcome curiosity here, and we value the disruption of “business as usual”.
Welcome to the lost and the lonely, the seeking and the found. Welcome to the confused and the contemplative, the grounded and the overwhelmed. This is a space for all those who want to practice patience and understanding. In this space we practice to understand and dismantle the culture of racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, colonialism, and capitalism that we have all been indoctrinated into, and how it is expressed and experienced by each of us.
Welcome to the queer and trans and all LGBTQIA+ folks. Welcome to the BIPOC folks. Welcome to the weirdos, queerdos, anarchists, activists, community organizers, community care advocates, healers, addicts, parents, elders, youngers, caregivers, death care workers, abolitionists, disruptors, questioners, change makers, wanderers, writers, storytellers, builders, artists, and cat lovers. And welcome to all of those who love us even if you don’t quite understand us. In this space we know that acceptance does not require understanding.
Welcome to a space where you are always encouraged to hold me accountable with compassion and help me to look deeper. To ask me difficult or uncomfortable questions and invite me to examine my motives. Welcome to a space that I will do my very best to hold with you, and pray for the humility to make amends when I misstep. Welcome to a living practice. One in which my very best is simply to continue to practice consistently.
We are as we practice, and practice creates possibility.
