This week's theme is quite simple, the Week of the New Spirit is all about finding renewal and hope in life through adventure and trying something new.
As I have traveled, and moved, and tried new things in life I have found that new things expand our experiences in a way that makes the world seem less scary and strange, and expands my cultural lenses to understand people and events that aren't part of my culture or tribe.
I think that it's great that this week is starting on the heals of the announcement about the pipeline moving out from the tribal areas for standing rock, that anouncemnet renewed my hope in the strength of diverse groups of people standing up for eachother.
I think we need that all year round, but especially in the cold dark winter. We can make a real difference in others lives when we stand up for and with people even when what is happening to them isn't affecting us personally, or isn't part of our lived experience.
Go forth my phoenixes, go have some adventures and get to know the world around you a little better. Do something you have never done before, and learn something that you can't learn any other way.
