Composting adictions and the art of being woven

Modernity-coloniality has seeded a profound addiction to control, separability, and certainty—entangling us in cycles of harm, denial, and disconnection. Healing this dis-ease is not about fixing, correcting, or mastering complexity. It begins with surrendering the illusion that we are separate selves in control of our lives, our deaths, or this planet.

Drawing inspiration from recovery work, Buddhist teachings, and Indigenous wisdom, we understand surrender not as defeat but as opening—composting what no longer serves, slowing the restless river of thought, and remembering that we are not isolated beings but threads in the vast weave of planetary life.

To truly meet this moment, we are called to grow up and show up differently—cultivating emotional stability, relational maturity, discernment, and responsibility. We are not fixed identities connected to the world—we are made of the world, woven of countless threads, each dissolving our imagined separateness.

The question is no longer how do we survive?

The question is how do we reorient ourselves toward being woven in service of the Earth’s greater health and metabolism?

• Learning to move with Sobriety, Maturity, Discernment and Responsibility and walk the tightrope
• Facing human wrongs and complicity in the four denials
• Seeing separability, addiction, and assholism as inseparable
• Seeing relationality as the opposite of addiction and separability
• Turning toward and taking care of our pain
• Listening to our inner children and inner elders, our human ancestors, our more-than-human ancestors, and the Land
