NORTHWEST
What is Kalapa?
Kalapa is an empowerment curriculum and developmental pathway, for Positive Change Agents, organized along the 8 directions of the compass. Each direction has a core competency and one or more best practices.
These practices are the most effective we have found for creating harmony within yourself, with others, and with the Earth.
You do not need to master all 8 areas! The promise is that if you achieve basic competency in 3 of the 8, this will significantly up-level your ability to make a difference.
What is the Northwest in Kalapa?
Core Competency:
Attend to your grief work and ancestral healing!
Best Practices
This area has many best practices from many sources, including
- The Work That Reconnects (Joanna Macy)
- Stephen Jenkinson
- Subonfu Somé
- and the work of many others.
Why
You store unprocessed grief in your tissues. After all, mind and body are only separate in language.
When you don’t do your grief work you move through the world a little more heavy and a little more shut down — less present to the people around you and to the beauty of the natural world.
When you allow yourself to do your grief work, you are carving out more space inside yourself for more joy to come later.
Your capacity for joy is limited — or supported by — your capacity for grief.
Furthermore, in many families there are patterns that make their way down the generations. In some families it might be anger, anger, anger… or fear, fear, fear… or substance abuse…
…but at some point, someone says the buck stops here. This pattern cannot continue and it ends with me.
By healing these patterns, you not only heal yourself but in significant ways you are healing your entire lineage.
Healing ancestral wounds and grief work both go hand in hand. Your progress in one supports the other and vice versa.
What If
Imagine not having grief weigh you down, but to the contrary — knowing how to move with it and through it to that place on the other side where you naturally experience the serenity, gratitude, and joy that comes with doing this work.
Imagine embracing grief as a beautiful and tender part of life, as natural as walking or eating — and no longer letting it or the avoidance of it hold you back!
Imagine all that freed up energy, no longer pent up, in service of Life!
