🛸 This is a curated, by invite-only gathering and will be capped at 40 participants. Participants should be actively sourcing, stewarding or midwifing a project in the broader Liminal Web.
💫 Gathering of the Sourcekeepers is sourced by Tucker Walsh, stewarded by Daniel Thorson and Cheryl Hsu, and co-created by all who participate.
Gathering Intentions
1. ✨ To Source the Sourcekeepers — Co-creating an intimate field that illuminates, deepens and celebrates the catalytic art of Sourcekeeping, strengthening both new and existing relationships amongst those who embody this responsibility.
2. 🔥 To Transform Through Initiation — Journeying deeper into relationship with that which we're sourcing and that which is sourcing us, owning our authority and stepping fully into our Soul Work during this time between worlds.
3. 🐝 To Weave our Liminal Network — Learning, listening and responding to the visions, wisdoms and potentials of our collective offerings, exploring how our projects transform through meaningful connection with fellow Sourcekeepers to help birth a regenerative, participatory and co-thriving ecosystem for all living beings.
4. 🌀 To Evolve Sourcekeeping — Birthing a new paradigm of Metamodern Sourcekeeping that integrates individual soul expression with network field consciousness, opening to that which is sourcing our Liminal Web and evolving world. Discovering how Source moves through us as both unique vessels and as a unified field, while healing the tensions that arise in our relationships with power, purpose and possibility.
5. 🍄 To Embody Service in Place— Communing with and learning from Asheville's Liminal mycelium hub on the anniversary of Hurricane Helene, receiving wisdom from their regenerative response while offering our presence and unique psycho-shamanic-somatic support as an expression of our collective care.
