the cosmos speaks
kincentric awareness, panpsychism, relational astrology
The following are resources curated from sources which have been influential in my exploration of consciousness through animistic, relational frameworks — the roots of which can be found in earth-based traditional cultures around the world, lovingly practiced and fiercely protected by wisdom keepers from all walks of life. Deep gratitude to these dharma carriers for carrying these messages of interconnectedness, awe, and love.
race & the cosmos: a meditation
Barbara Holmes, contemplative, writer, activist & theologian
"We respond to a deeply interdependent and responsive universe through shared experiences. This means that despite signs of postmodern fragmentation and the rise of radical individualism, we cannot carve out shared destinies in isolation. We are born not only into a wondrous and mysterious life space but also into communities of interpersonal reliance. These communities of care and crisis lend meaning and congruence to our lives and help to shape our collective stories. These stories and learned practices disclose the pitfalls and potential for human fulfillment, but more importantly, they describe a cosmos that is interwoven with mystery."
— Barbara Holmes, Joy Unspeakable
cosmos & psyche
Richard Tarnas, philosopher, cultural historian, & archetypal astrologer

Cosmos and Psyche challenges the basic assumptions of the modern world view with an extraordinary body of evidence that points towards a profound new understanding of the human role in the cosmos.
