Simplicity
(honesty + transparency)
The easiest way to connect with our organic creative intelligence as individuals and as a collective is to keep things simple. Even as we naturally complexify and deepen our journeys as conscious creators, the intention to keep things simple and honest allows us to connect with ourselves, other community members, and all beings in a way that remains approachable, compassionate, and clear.
Service
A wellspring is an offering — it does not need to receive in order to give, as it is already abundantly provided for. Such is the case, energetically, for Wellspringwords. We approach all elements of this sacred work with the spirit of service, healing, remembering our true spiritual nature, and embodying wholeness. When the ego arises to create separation and protect the self, we drop into listening and learn from the wisdom of the ego, thus integrating the ego with the higher consciousness to continue operating from an energetic place of service.
Generosity + Appreciation
A wellspring is unabashedly generous and represents untamed joy and provision. Such is the case for Wellspringwords. It is expected that all who resonate with Wellspringwords and receive from this platform continue to both: 1) regenerate joyous and abundant energy back into the Wellspringwords community and platform, and 2) circulate joyous and abundant energy in various ways in their personal lives. For Wellspringwords, this includes making donations to the platform, sharing aligned opportunities to contribute, learn, connect, and collaborate with others, and showing up with readiness, an open heart, availability to share personal wisdoms, and a curious spirit.
Humility
(trust/faith + connection)
Living from our unique and organic creative intelligence is an amazing embodiment of unfiltered spiritual connection. The more we trust ourselves to create from a place of deep connection to Source, the more we access and embody our innate talent and wisdom. The virtue of humility is here to remind us to remain connected to our hearts, bodies, the soil of the Earth, and other beings from a place of genuine connection, compassion, and mutual care. Humility reminds us to use our innate talent for the spiritual benefit of all beings in alignment with the Light of wisdom, Unconditional Love, and Higher Consciousness.
Kindness
Kindness is a chosen frequency from which to live, rest, and operate. It does not bypass denser, stickier emotions that emerge from unprocessed wounds or a survival consciousness. Kindness is an expression of a conscious self created through awareness and acceptance of such emotions. To choose, and thus embody, kindness, we are choosing to live in conscious relationship with our multidimensional selves, and thus the multidimensional aspects of other beings. Kindness as a frequency allows us to remain in observance of all that arises, but reside in untethered and unconditional love, care, compassion, and truth.
Healthy Boundaries/Discernment
The work of deepening one's knowing and expanding one's consciousness is necessarily unpredictable and oftentimes emotionally chaotic. As interdependent creatures whose nature is to connect at the level of the heart, we may find ourselves unintentionally attached to another's wounding, expression of their wounding, or wrapped up in their personal healing journey. It can be distracting. As we journey through this space, we are encouraged to develop healthy discernment, guided by our own paths of alignment, and thus develop healthy boundaries. Healthy boundaries are those that are flexible with our seasons of life and the seasons of connection in intimate relationships, so we must remain willing to soften and adapt. Discernment guided by our own paths of alignment means our intention to discern comes from a Higher Consciousness rather than an impulsive reaction to judge because something was triggering. Pause. Presence. Patience. Clarity.
Self-Ownership
Our passion for interior-world cultivation and authentic external expression offers profound healing and ingenious creation that inspires! We are reminded to discern genuine inspiration from comparison, envy, and competition with our fellow community members in workshops, retreats, fellowships, and immersions. Self-ownership invites is to take accountability for our individual commitment to our respective creative & writing practices. If we show up in earnest, in connection with our individual paths of alignment, we will progress and prosper. If we don't show up, our dreams will remain intangible. Collective inspiration grows when we each show up to our own practices, in devotion to our individual callings to explore, discover, and create. This is self-ownership, and it is deeply fulfilling. We also see self-ownership as seeking consent from fellow community members on all matters — rather than assuming, we trust individuals in their self-and-creative authority.
