Manifesto
I am on a journey of learning and unlearning, taking one step at a time.
I don’t do everything perfectly — but I keep showing up with care, curiosity, and the intention to learn. I am learning how to be more compassionate and less critical with myself. I am learning how to make my website and my work more sustainable.
Every day is a practice in slowing down, listening, and choosing gentleness.
I am learning how not to get overwhelmed, but to follow the path with softness — trusting the unfolding, trusting the process, and returning to the one true Source.
I believe that we need each other to grow in this work.
Please, if you have resources, ideas, or wisdom to share, I welcome them with an open heart. This path of collective transformation is one of mutual learning, connection, and care.
This work is not about perfection, but about presence, walking gently, listening deeply, and remembering that growth happens in relationship: with community, with the Earth, and with Spirit.
I walk this path as a spiritual warrior of peace - finding strength through faith, tenderness, and community, and aligning my work with healing, unity, and gratitude for the Mother Earth and God.
The 10-Point Pledge to the Great Mother
(Shared by Diane XXX, with gratitude through the Sun Ceremony)
From my heart:
1. To give thanks daily — in my own spiritual tradition — for my life, the lives of those around me, and the many beings on the Earth in a great network of pulsating life.
2. To take care of my own soul — to understand my identity, my gifts, and my spiritual mandate to manifest these gifts in the world, uplifting all life and Mother Earth with love, gratitude, and respect.
3. To make the evolution of my spiritual energy a priority, as the foundation for all the work that lies ahead on my path.
4. To strengthen my family and all my close relationships with love, so that we may stand strong together in support of our shared purpose.
5. To be a continuous learner — seeking knowledge from many sources, including science, wisdom traditions, and medicine.
6. To develop strong relationships of mutual support with Indigenous nations of the Earth, to treasure their ancient wisdom and champion their care for Mother Earth.
7. To find others of like heart and mind to form circles of community.
8. To mentor the next generation of spiritual custodians to protect creation.
9. To connect children to the land, air, and water so they may fall in love with Mother Earth and defend her.
10. To be fearless — knowing this work is spiritually ordained for success, and that I am doing my part daily to energize the web of life.
