Settling on the Earth

Kate Johnson

Part of our work as we dive into the earth element is healing our relationship with nature. We have lost parts of ourselves that we must retrieve. As my mother said to me, “the environment is not somewhere else—it’s here.” It’s here. When we become intimate with it with our awareness, the Earth is an incredible teacher. The earth is mother not as an identity but as an activity. We can learn from what the Earth does and its mothering. And we can emulate that in our relationship with other beings, and in our relationship with ourselves.

Creatively Imagining Collective Liberation

Kate Johnson

The Buddha asks us in our meditation to know the quality of our mind, and to be able to identify whether the mind is caught or not caught, liberated or not liberated. It’s so easy to focus on the parts of our practice that are not quite right: the ways our mind still wanders, and the uncomfortable emotions we wish we didn’t have. It’s right to notice when the mind is caught, but also to not miss when the mind is actually free! Those moments after we notice we’ve been caught, and the mind automatically lets go because it doesn’t want to suffer—there’s a space there. It’s important not to miss that space, but to attend to it and reflect on it.
