on collective liberation

Dear reader,

As a highly sensitive individual who has experienced firsthand the oppressive effects of colonialist capitalist systems, I strongly feel that we all receive the opportunity of contributing to collective liberation with our own unique expression of creative life force energy.

This can look like as many different things as there are types of people. The unique hardships YOU have experienced in YOUR LIFE specifically equip YOU to navigate your own individual way to wielding your own personal medicine, or your contribution to collective good.

In order to show up for those of us that are experiencing extraordinary hardship, such as those being cruelly exploited or violently displaced, it is our responsibility as fellow human beings to commit and recommit to our individual and collective efforts for liberation.

At SNAKESKIN, collective liberation means that ALL beings have the capacity to exercise creative freedom.

Creative freedom means that you are committed to witnessing equally the dark and light unseen parts of your own inner being in order to open to accepting your FULL self, your FULL spectrum of human experience and emotion, to embody a FULLER expression of self-love and self-trust.

This self-relationship is what opens the door to creating an external reality that flows from a place of ease, ahimsa (non-violence), and generosity, because your internal world is a reflection of our external world.

SNAKESKIN is my channel through which to make my contribution to collective liberation using my unique gifts in life.

SNAKESKIN and I are committed to contributing to a world where all creatives (hint: all humans are inherently creative) are empowered to flow with the natural currents of change:

  • to open rather than resist the regular initiations of life

  • to find strength and resilience in the act of letting go

  • to cultivate love for our inherent sensitivity rather than numb and disconnect

  • to learn and practice the tools that are needed to transmute emotional intensity into fuel for the creative fire

  • to anchor in times of turmoil to what matters most: the emotional-somatic experience, the earth, and boundaried loving-kindness for all beings.

Thank you for being here on this journey with us.

Sincerely,
Yaerin Kweon
