Extinction burst

Healing—whether personal or collective—is never linear. It spirals, revisiting old wounds just as transformation is within reach. Right now, we are in a collective extinction burst—the last desperate grasp of collapsing power structures, flaring up because they are losing, not winning. The violent resistance to progress, the tightening grip of failing systems, the chaos before reorganization—this is the contraction before the breakthrough. Just as personal healing expands our capacity to hold what once felt unbearable, collective healing depends on each of us doing the inner work to reclaim our wholeness.
