• Reflecting on adolescence and the vulnerability of youth in today’s world
• Exploring the dehumanising of men and women by imagining the openness of a baby - full of will, need, emotion and unarmoured presence
• Questioning what our culture teaches us about feeling, strength and identity
• Noting the impact of the attention economy and the algorithm-driven rise in misogyny
• Highlighting the link between social media profit, lack of content moderation, and the rise in mental health struggles and suicide
• Asking what we are really learning, individually and collectively, about being human
• Turning to the wheel of the year as a guide for wholeness and natural rhythm
• Honouring cultures across the world that live in relationship with the cycles of nature
• Embracing the vision of wholeness - being in conscious relationship with both light and dark, doing and being
• Summer as active, solar, and will-driven - the oak tree as a symbol of discernment, boundaries, and protective strength
• Affirming the will to take care of ourselves and others, staying rooted and solid enough to be vulnerable
• Recognising yin qualities - rest, receptivity, slowness, intuitive presence, and emotional openness
• Naming the winter as a time when we lose our yang and descend inward, surrendering active energy
• Acknowledging the deep burden many men carry in the over-culture of competition, hoarding and disconnection
