Kavita Byrd has just published a new book, a compilation of 25 articles she wrote from lockdown in rural India during the first momentous year of the coronavirus pandemic: Chronicle of a Tectonic Year – Point of No Return, Or Returning to Our True Wholeness? Tracing the pivotal arc of events unfolding during this world-changing time, and responding to them in real-time, Kavita brings a spiritual and holistic perspective to how we can meet our crises with grace, wisdom, love and vision, co-creating a new regenerative world of interconnection, justice, thriving and wholeness. The book is available here, or GTI members can get a free PDF copy by contacting Kavita at kavitaji25@yahoo.com.
Here is an excerpt from the first article, which also appeared on the GTI Forum “After the Pandemic: Which Future?” in May 2020: “There is no going back to normal… Either we allow ourselves to be herded into a new totalitarian age, where all our rights and freedoms are taken away, and we are subjected to repeated lockdowns and martial control as further collapses hurtle down the pipeline – or we assert massive resistance to that trajectory and take it into our own power to create another one, based on entirely different values, ones that can actually save us – love, cooperation and caring, simplicity, community, interconnectedness, a sacred reverence for the preciousness of our existence and the whole web of life that sustains us.”
She also has a new article which continues on these themes: “Mistaking the Problems for the Solutions: Reversing the Fatal Flaw Behind Our Proliferating Crises”, contrasting the dangers of top-down, man-made agendas with sustainable solutions in cooperation with each other and nature.
