OCTOBER 2020
Dearest Community,
When we think about racial inequality, the degradation of the environment, the myriad perspectives related to Covid 19, the world political climate, and more personally, the stress within the lives of those we love, it can be challenging to find our center and live from that place. In searching for an answer, our attention is turned to the three fields of power within the Pachakuti Mesa. The left field, the Campo Ganadero, is the place of ‘My will be done’. The right field, the Campo Justiciero, is the place of ‘Thy will be done’. Yet it is the center field, the Campo Medio, where you can harmonize and balance the energies of both sides, take right action where you are called, and hold loving healing space for your self, humanity, Pachamama and the cosmos. May we all walk the Campo Medio consciously, as a way of life and being.
In loving service,
Cindy, Michele, Amy, and Heather
