"that people are not undergoing their rites of passage to completion and are instead getting stuck spinning in the muck without clarity on how to move forward."

I've also been voicing this and like yourself, a call to action to observe that no matter how dark and long that dark night is, allowing it is one part but accepting its end point is another, or as you mention, to doula the death of..... Wonderful WONDERFUL writing on the kind of feelings going around - we know sitting in the muck and mire isn't the answer, so now what?

I've "ayurvedically" assessed the scene in body types - The Pitta types as warriors breaking down information in the clever, comprehensive way they like to do. Vata as the forward creative thinkers designing a new world to go forward in, thinking outside the box and reaching for the ethers in spirit to match the mundane technology, and finally Kapha to follow once all has been destroyed and re-created to move mountains and earth to manifest the new world.

It takes a village.

Thank you, thank you!! This means so much to receive your generous reflection. I love this ayurvedic scene you mapped out as I think one of the most dis-abling aspects of this time is to encounter paralyzing overwhelm with regard to how to channel our energies with discernment and intention amidst extreme fragmentation in the chaos. This framework is such a beautiful offering, giving each type insight into how we might contribute to the collective, leaning into the potency of this trifecta. Such a beautiful offering. I relate deeply to that Vata description you provided -which infuses me with clarity and medicine. It does indeed take a village.
