At FPG, we assess our work with our clients to ensure each project can go beyond symbolic and put in place substantive ‘goalposts’ to make room for system and systemic change. And we do this with spirit.
What does it mean and look like when we say everything we do, we do it with the help of Spirit?
We ground our work in the spiritual principles embodied in the ‘Natural Order of Humanity Within Creation’, a message received from the ceremonial Sacred Fire at Soul of the Mother some decades ago, given to re-balance the human family.
At the centre is the Sacred Fire symbolizing the power of the Creator; the Sacred Fire burns strongly on Mother Earth who provides life for all Beings to thrive. The children, our most sacred gifts, sit closest to the Sacred Fire for communication to the Creator and protection. The Women as Life-Givers and Life Bearers sit next to the children offering their unconditional love and guidance. The Elders, Grandparents, Aunties, Uncles encircle the women to offer their wisdom of love, kindness, compassion, respect, generosity, loyalty, humility, and fearlessness, to support the women to do their best work with the children.
The men stand on the outside of the circle, facing outwards to protect what is within, to provide for all needs and to bring spiritual law into the family. The men trust the women and the Elders to do their best work with the children to seed the principles of the power of the Creator, the essence of a Good Mind and peace for all. Women-identified and men-identified will find their places in this order as they choose.
This has always been our way.
