Releasing Perfectionism

The word perfect comes from the Latin root perficere, "to complete, to bring to an end, to accomplish." 

So perfectus (Latin past participle) literally means "made whole."

Over time, the meaning has shifted toward "flawless, without defect," but at its root, the meaning behind the word is about wholeness. Not about being without mistakes. 

If we peer with a micro-tool into the structure of a crystal, we see its lattice structure and symmetry is "perfect" in that it is ordered and complete.
But crystals have inclusions. These flaws hold their most elemental base yet magnanimous messages. 

Our human DNA coils into an elegant double helix, a living crystalline pattern leading like a ladder to infinity.
And yet, even DNA carries skipped notes and vulnerable fractals.

I almost cancelled tonight's call due to a personal situation that brought me deep into the wound, the skipped note, the painful and familiar spiral that spreads the gut wrenching misinformation: 
"not good enough."

I am deciding, in this moment, to not cancel tonight's call.
Instead I am choosing to trust that portal of challenge and pain and messiness we all go through = part of the medicine pointing us to our wholeness at this time. 

I am not cancelling tonight's call in honor of what yesterday's Solar Eclipse on the South Node of the moon at 29 degrees Virgo most calls for:
a shedding of perfectionism as we plant seeds of our devotion to to dancing and navigating the full spectrum as dark fades into light and back again. 

Tonight's call is adaptive and flexible because so must we be.
At the moment, it feels as if this gathering will be an intimate circle of humans coming together to be fully human and practice what that feels like, even when it is not polished or pretty. 

I promise to share what feels alive for me and that feels pulsing through the collective via the lenses I love most as Maps: Symbols. Stones. Stars. 

Together, we get to show up exactly as we are and do our best to hear, see and feel what is speaking to and through us in the midst of a world that is cracking open. Not perfectly, but authentically. 

Themes for the Call- balance, movement, breath, stillness, presence, togetherness, release, cosmic crystalline and ancestral pathways of full-bodied aliveness.

The Crystalline Threshold Circle will be offered live over zoom on this evening  at 5pm CST for one hour. The recording will be provided should you not be able to join live. 

Please wear something comfortable to move in and bring a stone or gem, a journal a pen.
XOXO
