dismantling deadness
Dismantling Deadness is a place for authentically exploring the disconnections inherited from modern culture and experimenting with ways to experience more connection and aliveness.
here's how
here's why
Over centuries, disconnection has been encouraged and normalized in a seemingly endless variety of ways: between us and people who are different from us, between us and a felt sense of connection to the land, between us and the things we rely on to sustain our lives, between us and the people we come from...
These disconnections are a modern cultural phenomenon, but they have been a long time in the making. In many corners of daily life, vague disconnection just seems like the norm. This is one effect of the systems that continue to shape our culture: a kind of relational deadness where deep connection would naturally be, born from separation from ourselves, each other, the land, and some overarching sense of what holds it all together.
On the flip side...
As daunting as this is, it also means there is always more that we can be connected to, beyond what we may think is possible. Because there is likely more that we may find we have been, consciously or unconsciously, disconnected from.
The experiences offered here provide creative ways to move through the limits of disconnection we have learned.
They work with the hope that growing our sense of connection is a personal project that influences how we think and the actions we take, because as we grow our connection we can act and feel in accordance with more and more of the world we inhabit. And things can really start rolling from there.
