Moment of Silence to give gratitude to all the Asian folks in your life!

I am constantly working on myself. Breaking harmful patterns both generational and personal. Loving my own intersections and ways of being as well as others. These liberation for all posts are a glimpse into our community; praising our authentic selves, honouring our ways of being and uniting to remedy our struggles.

We at Authentic Creations believe liberation is ONLY available for all or none. So we want to highlight our intersectional community. Please know discomfort may arise. Notice where and how it is in your body and release it! Consider exploring links where discomfort originated in an attempt to break the cycle, break the system.

A great way to stay on track with your self growth is by making Moonly Intentions. Usually creating these intentions on the New Moon and reflecting upon them as the Moon waxes and wanes. I make work intentions as well as personal. My personal intentions are have playful + spiritual baths, explore the town i live in, and continue shifting my relationship to rest.

I am not sure how to actually organize all of this. We are so valuable and intricate. I want everyone to feel validation and praise from this listing.

Did you know that the majority of Oregon wildfire fighters of 2020 were/are low wage inmates. Part of our work to abolish the prison industrial complex involves upholding the dignity of the people who are targeted and harmed by its violence, and mutual aid is essential to this. Despite having been criminalized, torn away from family and community, and locked in cages – prisoners are literally putting their lives on the line for the rest of us.

Water and Land Protectors continue to do their life giving work. Lakota youth are running to put pressure on the administration to cancel the Dakota Access Pipeline. Land defender Kanahus Manuel arrested using excessive force.

A resurrgence of violence towards Asians is apparent since the origination of coronavirus in China. Much of this violence and discrimination is happening to Asian elders and family members during Lunar New Year. If you are deeply concerned with the targeting of Chinatown seniors and businesses, you can help keep them safe. Because we know, community safety starts with us – not the police. If you are in the “Oakland, Caifornia” area consider taking security shifts.

Celebrate the Year of the Ox & the launch of The Lunar Project, a solidarity project for Asian Americans for Black & Indigenous liberation.

We soundly believe another world is possible. Communities are strengthened through genuine relationships built upon trust, collaboration & witnessing the fullness of each member. Stewardship of natural space is expanded so that we can accessibly connect to our natural rhythms, build friendships with non-human expressions of life, collectively use land, and restore nomadic lifestyles. This includes the abolition of landlords.

As always we value you!
