It is particularly in these times, when anxiety and fear on an unprecedented scale dominate our collective consciousness, that we need communities of hope within which to gather.

Here, we can learn to re-imagine both individually and collectively, restore our creativity, and commit to curiosity and learning. 

The Lighthouse: Fires and beacons in the form of expressive, compassionate communities of artists/seekers are needed to illuminate the oncoming darknesses. With a safe passage, we are not forever lost at sea. The path was always there; unseen until illuminated. 

For this revival of the imagination to take place, we need to learn to practice ourselves, behaviourally and creatively. And for these practices to be birthed and revived in us, there is a necessary self-discipline and commitment needed, and an understanding of the universal truths and cycles of life; a discovery of soul. Artists, teachers, poets, illuminaries, musicians, mystics… inspire us inwards to the unique genius embedded in all of us.

That’s where the soul lies.

Civilisations rise and fall. Ours perhaps. This is not a cause for fear, as in the burning out of one flame, the earth renews preparing the ground for another. In times today where meaning is difficult to find, where collective anxieties overtake us, the planet floods and burns, and where truth and lies might seem interchangeable, this restorative work is needed more than ever..

The Lighthouse Project; it is in the re-learning of how to pay attention, how to feel and to be present to Presence, that we learn how to restore our faith, and how we will re-imagine our way. 

Our ancestors told stories with the stars above them. Their wonder, reverence and meaning-making is inscribed onto the walls of caves. Perhaps they intrinsically felt, when in the right relationship with the land, that this earthwalk was always designed to be a metaphysical and spiritual journey of transformation. 

The wisdom and truth we need today, is already at our collective backs.
