The Wildfire Within: A Ritual to Ignite Change
This is a ritual offered by Quinn Corte for giving and receiving energetic and concrete support for our ailing world. We will ground, flow, breathe, and burn with the four elements.
If you are suffering right now, I invite you to get cozy and watch this ritual, allowing yourself to fully receive energetic support from this community.
For those who want to help, you can join me in doing this ritual at home (18 minutes). After the energetic portion, I invite you to identify concrete ways you can help that are aligned with your capacity.
Here are a few concrete ideas for how to help.
Give money (here are 3 ideas)
California Immigrant Resilience Fund - undocumented immigrant farmworkers feed the US and are working in impossible conditions during COVID, and now battling horrific air conditions
Meals of Gratitude - serving fresh local meals to wildfire first responders and essential COVID workers
COVID Rent Relief for Families - giving directly to families who can’t pay their bills; started by The Conscious Kid
Grab a friend and devote 2 hours to a phonebank or textbank to get out the vote (here or here).
Close your eyes and ask yourself who might be feeling isolated or hopeless right now. Trust your instincts. Reach out with a phone call or socially distanced picnic.
Make calls to lonely seniors through the Mon Ami Phone Bank.
Plan an online game night with, or send a good book to someone who is stuck inside due to COVID or poor air quality.
Contact your local volunteer office and look for opportunities to donate food or assistance to someone in your neighborhood.
P.S. Here’s a great article on making smart climate change donations.
