The Green Tea Collective

Society has enacted a system of laws with societal subsets containing policies and procedures that mandate compliance or undesirable consequences are the result. Western societies in particular seem to have the same bag of punitive measures: fines, cessation of employment, miscellaneous restrictions/removals, suspended sentences, custodial sentences, death sentences. In this segment we discuss our thoughts and feelings about the societal template that we live in and whether this fosters the types of communities and individuals we want to have in the world.

June 19, 1865 marked the end of the chattel slavery for Black people in the US. It became known as 'Juneteenth' and is marked by celebrations and commemoration by the descendants of the enslaved.

The times we are living in call for no less than the very best of our minds. There are elements of society that are battling for front row seats in your mind. It is pivotal ground. Defense of your mind requires attention, dedication and concerted effort because very often socialization imprints many concepts and experiences that are not for our best and highest good. Coming of age in this respect is the drawing of battle lines and taking up the role of guardianship.

Aggressive marketing and advertising has become the norm in a society that is "no holds barred" when getting you to part with your money. Throwing in the word "FREE" as a pretext can easily get the attention of the masses, but sometimes everything is not as it seems and experience has taught us that even the most discerning can get caught in that figurative net.

Expressing gratitude is a vital component of the journey of the conscious soul, we invite you to reflect upon our individual and collective expressions of gratitude and also express your own.

There are experiences in life that hit us harder than hard. Experiencing trauma changes people. Are we doing enough to address the patterns that unaddressed trauma leaves in our lives?
