The Juniper Collective sees where we've arrived at individually and collectively.  Even those of us with decades of personal and spiritual practice under our belts are a mess. 
After a lot of observation, meditation, and asking for direction, it became clear as day: 

WE NEED EACH OTHER

In the US, we're grieving the loss of our democracy, the norms we enjoyed, the stability we worked to attain, the dreams we had for the future, the beliefs we had about our history, government, and Constitution. These aren't sudden losses, but the immediacy of their impact – everything all at once --is shocking and disorienting. It's happening on a large scale, and we should be worried about the big picture.  But, it's also happening to each of us, individually. 

It's how psy-ops work. 

That we're a mess, collectively and individually is purposeful. It's being done to us with precise intent. 

On the global level, we are--and have been--facing environmental collapse, economic collapse, AI surveillance, mass migration, creeping (or sprinting) authoritarianism, and an increasing threat of civil and large-scale wars. We've witnessed genocide, mass murder, catastrophic weather events, and a global pandemic. Our daily awareness includes massive global crime syndicates involving pedophilia, torture, and murder; the transfer of wealth to the 1%; the extinction of entire species.

An exhausted, traumatized, terrified, angry, impoverished, unhealthy population is easy to confuse, and control.

Isolated, dysregulated, grief-stricken individuals are easy to misinform, and manipulate.  

Pretending everything is “normal” in our daily lives, in the workplace, with co-workers, at social events, or public venues where a knowing glance between strangers would bring some sense of shared reality, is not helping.

When you want to control and abuse people, the first thing you do is isolated them. Then, you attack them psychically.  If you're effective, they will forgo the very habits and practices they rely upon to keep them alert and able to function optimally in already dangerous world.

Indigenous American lore tells us that Maslow's Hierarchy of needs came from their teachings, with one glaring difference:  The colonizer's hierarchy is upside-down with self-actualization located at the top.  Indigenous People have known that a loving and actualized Self is the foundation of everything else.

Juniper Collective is hell-bent on helping you get back to your foundation through providing supportive daily practices and reminders to do what's best for you.  When your foundation is strengthened, you'll be much more effective at caring for others, engaging in resistance, and doing what you came here at this point in human history to do.  That might be magic, art, organizing, parenting, healing, protesting, counseling, cooking, keeping others safe, growing food, running for office . . .  But, it's definitely not numbing out on your phone while your nervous system and spiritual being absorb the whole world's violence.

Juniper Collective is a space for us to collect ourselves.
To come home to ourselves again, and again, and again so we are well equipped to engage with the Work-Play-Art-Magic that is ours to do at this Time. We need all our parts functioning at high capacity to withstand what's happening, and what's to come. 

In order to function at that level with any consistency, we need each other.  The time of heroic self-sufficiency is over.
