Tender vulnerability

🕯️ Dear “New Earth” Community — Let’s Not Forget What We Came Here For

So many of us speak of building the new.

Of revolution. Of healing. Of rising.

We talk about conscious business, investing in land, becoming sovereign, thriving financially, building new systems…

And that’s beautiful. That’s part of it.

But what about the wobble?

What about when someone’s nervous system collapses?

What about when someone can’t function — not because they’re “low vibe” or haven’t done the work — but because their brain and body are in trauma recovery?

What about when someone needs?

Is that still part of New Earth?

Or do we only hold space for brilliance, for confidence, for entrepreneurship and skill-sharing — but forget to hold the humanness, the fragility, the rawness of being alive in a body that doesn’t always comply?

Because if the “new” we’re building doesn’t include care for each other when we’re in the thick of it, when we can’t show up how we used to…

then we’re not building anything truly new.

We’re just recreating the same systems in prettier packaging.

Real community isn’t just about “What can you contribute?”

It’s also about: “How can we hold you while you rest?”

It’s about walking beside each other — not just following someone’s lead.

It’s about recognizing that healing is messy, cyclical, and non-linear.

We must remember:

✨ It’s not just about the vision — it’s about the village.

✨ It’s not just about sovereignty — it’s about interdependence.

✨ It’s not just about rising — it’s about being seen when we fall.

Let’s build a new earth where we don’t have to perform our aliveness.
