A Story Shared from the Irish Trailblazery Hedgeschool
 
This beautiful offering from Alastair McIntosh begins as a moment of reflection around climate activism. Alastair invites us to consider that the technology we create will only reflect our inner imbalances if we do not take time to go to our “inner rainmakers hut” and return our essence to the Tao. Yes, there is much we can do in the near term to stop the damage and make changes to help restore balance to our sacred lands. Yet, only from a space where our spirit is aligned with our Tao nature can we create lasting solutions, and call forth the paradigm shift that is needed to regenerate and heal our world.

 

He shares with us a very old story of the rainmaker in ancient China, and offers a simple and stunning message on how we might do what this sage did many years ago in our own lives today. (The story starts around 2 minutes and 26 seconds in)
