Dreams for the future

What are we dreaming? What are we part of creating? 
Every day, visions of the future are being pumped into the airwaves that come from outside us. For the most part, they are laden with doom. Maybe one of the most powerful choices we can make is to decide what we will focus our attention on. What do we choose to give our precious creative energies to bringing into form and manifestation in this world. For me, the essence of spiritual practice of any kind, leads first of all to a clarification of and then an expansion of what we mean by the word: “I.” As our practice grows, we become stable enough within our own circle to recognise each other as mirrors. As we continue along the way, we recognise that all life is related and that we exist in a continuum that includes our ancestors and our descendants.  At the School of Movement Medicine, we would like to make our contribution to redressing the balance a little in terms of what we dream for our individual and collective futures. So with that in mind, we‘ve set up this page on our website that we invite you to create with us.

A dream seed for the future…

  I dream The relationship between children and adults is healthy and wholesome, filled with delight, respect and love. We facilitate and encourage each person, whatever their age, to grow into all they have to offer. We recognise that each child and adult has a contribution to make. Our uniqueness is held upon a ground of love and trust in our community. The children flourish and thrive within their own families and in all institutions within society. Our challenges and fears are taken seriously and are met with light-hearted love and right action. We believe that these difficulties can bring personal growth and can be the driving force behind collective change. All the children are included, and we nourish their relationships with the elements and the natural world. We all come together to look after the children.

  I dream of living in a world where we all walk freely and in harmony with ourselves, each other, our environment, our ancestors and the spirit world, and with the oneness of the spirit within and beyond us; a world where individual expression doesn’t have to cost the earth and where unity and community are joyous places of co-operation not coercion.
  I dream of a future where each has the permission and the support and the inspiration to find their own way, their own truth and their own direct experience of this dance of unity and community.  
  I see people happy and content and delighted with the opportunity that another day on a living planet and in a living body, gives them to create with life.  
  I see a locally produced, gorgeous, organic plenty and abundance of food and sustenance for all.  
  I see a world in which we have truly understood that like it or not, we are all one family. All of us. Even the ones we don’t get along with and fight with. We’re all family. The trees we chop down or plant, the earth we hold in reverence or trample underfoot, the sunrise over waterfalls and the sunrise through the smog of the city, the fire we sit around to share our hearts and the fire we send in fury against those we call enemies, the waters that bring life and the tsunamis that bring death, all living beings, all living beings are one family. We are one. What I do to you I do to myself (not a new idea this one but a timely one). We are really and truly one family of universal and eternal life being born and reborn in an infinity of unimaginable creation.
  I dream of a world where we all know this and live from this, whatever our style, whatever our expression, whatever our raison d’etre.  
  I see peace at the core of things. Realised peace. Passionate peace. Peace that grows and changes and allows and encourages and evolves.
  I see people living free, and an unprecedented time of co-creation. Brilliant ideas, potential fulfilled, billions of beings living the dream they came here to live.
