First, Let’s Take a Moment
Day 96. Whew. We are deep in the sacred.
We are nearing the end of this 100-day journey—not as a goodbye, but as a closing of a container. And what a container it’s been: filled with joy, rupture, softness, grief, laughter, deep truths, and a chorus of “me too” moments that remind us we are never alone in this work.
Today wasn’t about launching something new.
It was about honoring what we’ve built—together.
So let this companion article reflect what the live embodied:
That liberation is not an individual pursuit. It’s a collective vibration.
It’s the song that doesn’t end.
🎧 A Little Preview
“Liberation is the song that never ends.”
In this clip, I reflect on how liberation isn’t a moment—it’s a rhythm. A chorus. A vibration we carry forward, even when we’re tired, even when we’re unsure. Just like that song from childhood, the work of freedom loops, repeats, evolves—and always has room for new voices to join.
Let this remind you:
You don’t have to hold the whole song alone.
You just have to keep singing.
Share this clip with your people and ask:
What part of the liberation song are you singing right now?
What We’re Learning Today
Ending with Intention
We don’t rush from one offering to the next. We seal this container with reflection, ritual, and reverence.Celebrating Collective Impact
This journey was not a solo act. Every share, comment, challenge, and presence shaped what we’ve created.Honoring the Work That Lies Ahead
This chapter ends. The movement does not. We leave here carrying new rhythms into what comes next.
A Body Before the Praxis
This isn't just the wrap-up of a program. It's the honoring of a sacred journey.
Today’s conversation reminded us that endings are not losses—they are opportunities for integration. In a world that demands we “move on” before we’ve had time to process, this moment is a radical pause.
We reflected on how ADHD joy, neurodivergent side quests, community disagreements, collective contributions, and multi-generational learning all became part of our liberation tapestry.
“Divesting from capitalism looks like reclaiming time to sit. To reflect. To breathe.”
So we sit with these truths.
We don’t rush to the next webinar, course, or call to action.
We look back and say: “Damn. We did something sacred here.”
Before We Go Deeper...
This work continues—but today, we sit with what we’ve done.
We reflect on what we’ve created.
And behind the paywall, we’re going deeper into:
How to create rituals of closure that honor collective journeys
The Liberation Vision Collage (yes, it’s happening—send your images/words!)
What it means to divest from urgency culture and root into slow, sustainable change
How to build integration rituals for yourself, your home, and your organizing spaces
