The
Vital
Weave
At this pivotal moment in the story of human culture, when the future of all life hangs in the balance and we need the ability to navigate with clarity and attunement more than ever, the very sensibilities that make this possible are being continually undermined, distracted and devalued.
We are told that power is leverage; the ability to assert our will over others. We are shown that sensitivity is weakness, a liability, leading only to overwhelm, dissociation and disempowerment. And yet somewhere, deep within us, we can feel something far more true: that our sensitivity—our ability to attune simultaneously to self, to others, and to the organizing patterns of reality, is the very seed of the kind of power we need most right now. Power that serves life, that aligns with the primordial intelligence of the Dao, rather than trying to control it.
And so often, the spaces where culture gets shaped are profoundly inhospitable to this vital sensitivity, leading to a devastating absence of the very perspectives and capacities most needed for genuine change. This work exists to transform this pattern by supporting all people in connecting deeply to their own root source, aligning to mythic purpose and discovering how their sensitivity can become that seed of genuine power that serves the whole and guides us into the life we were born for.
Drawing from Daoist and Existential philosophy, extensive training in Mythosomatics and a lifetime of Animist praxis guided by Indigenous mentors, Eve’s approach understands power not as dominance, but as the capacity to participate in the shaping of circumstances in service of ecological harmony. Through a combination of elemental mysticism, embodied practice, and radical creativity, we explore how to resource sensitivity so deeply that it becomes our compass through complexity, allowing us to stay both receptive and empowered in these challenging times.
Through classes, ceremonies, individual work and longer-form trainings, we create contexts where sensitivity can be understood as the beginning of power – where our capacity for attunement, creativity and devotion becomes an essential force for collective liberation.
