"For this practice, I invite you to map your community and relations.

The intention is for you to remember all the connections and support systems.

For this practice, you will want to have your journal nearby.

Find a comfortable way to be in your body. You can sit, stand, or lie down.

Make sure you are well supported with any pillows, blankets, or any props you might need. Take a moment to center and settle.

Bring your awareness to your breath, and as you do, begin to deepen and lengthen your breath. Take a few deep breaths.

Continue to breathe and bring your awareness to your heart.

As you connect with your heart, imagine a web similar to a spider’s web emerging from your heart space.

You are the weaver of this web.

As you imagine the spider’s web emerging from your heart, allow this web to connect you with all beings, energies, deities, spirits, guides, ancestors, and elements with whom you are in communion.

You might see people’s faces, landscapes, living ancestors and ancestors who have transitioned. You might bring people into your awareness who are close or distant.

You can invite the elements— trees, a stream, flowers, fire, the soil, the earth, the heavens in your web.

You might include spirit guides who support you, animal energies, or divination tools.

As you weave your web, connect with all your relations and include them in your web of community and support.

Your web can be as vast as you would like; it can encompass many things since it came from your heart.

Stay here for as long as you would like, working and weaving the web. Once this feels complete, take a few breaths here. Feel what it is like to remember who you are connected to and in community with."

Now map Wildflower's community and relations.

What are our connections and support systems?

As you imagine the spider’s web emerging from our Wildflower congregation's heart:

What or who are the beings, energies, deities, spirits, guides, ancestors, and elements with whom we are in relationship with?

Which people’s faces, landscapes, people-- both living or ancestors who have transitioned come to your mind in connection to Wildflower?

What elements— trees, a stream, flowers, fire, the soil, the earth, the heavens -- are in our web.

Are there spirit guides who support Wildflower? Animal energies, or divination tools?

As you help us to weave our web, connect with all of our relations, and include them in our web of community and support.

This map will serve as a reminder of how connected we are when and if we begin to forget our connection with all relations.

Write or draw your answers below.
