The goal is to feel deeply.

we are socialized to aspire to achievement: money, power, status. this has led to a society of celebrity-worship, comparing oneself to others, & dishonest & deceptive strategies for acquiring these things. this culture has left us feeling empty & vying for deep spiritual experiences & human connection. hence why we drink, smoke, & do drugs so much, & participate in a loveless hookup culture.

the goal is to feel deeply. the only goal is to feel deeply.

deep gratitude for the plants that sustain life. deep joy for this unique and miraculous human experience. deep grief for the loss and failure of love. deep pain from trauma and betrayal. deep longing for belonging & connection.

for the feelings that hurt, we can develop a toolkit of soothing coping mechanisms that encourage feeling instead of numbness. explore the pain. relax into it. deepen your connection to it.

the goal is to feel deeply.
