Watering Gaian Grace

One of the least talked about, yet most problematic issues for regenerating Global social-psychological mental and physical health and public safety movements Well fed and watered to empower and enlighten interfaith action and reflection, song and dance liturgical and fire-circle contemporary-indigenous wisdom Is to explore together how and when to work around and with patriarchal clergy leadership. Even if a skilled multicultural facilitator invites a lay-leader on-line discussion group of cooperative environmental health concerned parents and teachers and preachers and secular/sacred town leaders, Even if a restorative justice advocate for cooperative predator/prey dialogue, steeped in non-violent communication deep listening experience, were to invite a like-minded reading circle, and/or a singing/dancing multicultural liturgical celebration planning committee, and/or an organic community gardening and composting neighborhood interfaith movement toward local and regional food and health resilience projects, and/or tool and transport and home sharing cooperative management, By asking faith community leaders to commit to on-line dialogue for a specified number of events, over an agreed upon period of time in weeks and/or months and/or years, CoInvesting in strongly StraightWhiteMale privileged monocultures, like degenerative caste systems, like capitalism, like competitive partisan debate patriarchalism, like either/or deductive LeftBrain debate dominant thinking and not so much intuitive, contextual, interdependent, interfaith dialogue feeling, Priests or evangelical preachers and rabbis, and all religious professional teachers, both economically and politically dependent on corporate faithfulness and integrity, will, at best, select their most powerful surrogates to speak up and out for their home faith communities. Instead of starting with clergy meetings to inform and invite faith community buy-in, maybe it is our revisioning Public Health Emergency time to go directly to the local newspapers, to localized chat rooms, to Facebook pages of local congregations, to City Hall on-line conversation boards, to the local utility company, to parent-teacher dialogue rooms, to volunteer Sunday/Sabbath teachers and deep listeners, to community gardener websites, to library chat rooms, To any and all local byways and on-line direct highways to connect and reconnect with local feminist political leaders and faithful everyday practitioners in the League of Women Voters, the NAACP, Adult Education Curriculum Screeners, Senior and Youth Centers, wherever we might discover, recover memories of supportive youth and women's circles, liberating libraries, Wherever we might still look for education that is deep listening non-violent and Right/Left bicameral dialogue-friendly. Where are these potential ecowomanist green cooperative co-investing religious and humanitarian educators, multicultural facilitators, polycultural nutrition and communication moderators, polypathic mediators of spiritual context for natural health and integral wealth-resilient experience, empowering and enlightening resonant compassion planning circles? Let us now invite each and all responders to a Zoom meeting. Offer an initial agenda for an Adult Education Public yet Personal Health Empowering Event CoHosting gratitude for humanitarian/divine grace to share compassion interfaith held, to take care of, to feed and water our cooperative co-invested green passions, our interdependent reweaving songs of EarthDay journeys, energy, dance, NonViolent compassions natural and spiritually indigenous wisdom restoring egocentric lack of peace by restorying our co-investment in systemic EarthJustice rather than xenophobic hate hysteria By expanding empowerment-model dialogue circles to actively enlighten this healing process of win/win To shrink our unenlightened polarizing debates in public unhealthy squares of uncivility and private unwealthy stuckness In webs capitalistic LeftBrain anthrosupremacist now recognized as eco-politically disempowering and ecologically unhealthy and theologically bereft of our own everyday ecofeminist natural experience discontented and impatient with sectarian monoculturing apartness quagmires gumption traps repeating verbal sticking points like ballistic automated weapons, Regenerating democratic energy progress only to regress degenerative elitist-professionalized, kinda bureaucratically patriarchal sometimes, lack of emergency powers for public health disaster fluidity.
