As this manifestation was coming to be, each of us challenged ourselves by sitting around a coffee table in Santa Barbara naming and mapping what the values around this project needed to be. What they already were. What kind of integrity would be required in order for us to feel safe, and satisfied working together as partners, and also, what structure we wanted to hold us up as we leapt into what Esalen recalls as The Human Potential Movement. That was just it for me. Human Potential. It rang with promise. In our own words, the first idea we wanted to be firmly grounded by was:
Luminosity
We know that light becomes brilliant radiance when we trust enough to shine in truth, transparency and responsibility. We show up with our collective candleglow in a fundamentally non-competetive community, empowering each other's innate good*ness and lighting up the path for she who is determined to carry her own flame.
Responsibility begets manifestation of what a woman is ready to create, no? What I've found is that honesty with oneself is a gateway drug. It leads to being honest with others, about what is and isn't working for us. It calls us out to change the way we see a thing, or change the way we're doing it. Either way, we have to ignite the lantern and trust what comes to light, and the decisions that may have to be made in order to stay in alignment with what we are wanting to create. When we come to circle with that glow, each woman bearing responsibility for what has come to light for her, the collective glow creates plenty of brilliance to see by. And sisters all around to see with. In a non-competitive creative community, one must be pressed right up against the edge of her best work, her strongest voice, so that she can be responsible for what she makes.
No watered down versions of someone else's vision will do for you.
All Love,
Pixie
