About community and injustice

I was really impressed and inspired by the recent message shared by @natasha.gilbert regarding the silence in (white) holistic community when it comes to racism and injustice in general. Go watch the reel if you haven't seen it yet.

It really got me thinking of my influence and past actions against these issues. Back in the days, I was so much more active in different communities protesting against human- and animal right violations. Unfortunately, my mental health collapsed and I had to take a step back from the front line.
Now, I'm in so much better state with my own well being and I'm practically bursting with energy! I want to get back on action! And I want to use this platform to address some matters and highlight certain issues, in good and bad. Don't worry, I won't spam about every single case of injustice in the world, that's impossible, but I do want to do something, where ever I can make a difference.

The Hierophant. I've had a bit of resentment towards this card in the past, I admit. I associate it heavily with the church and patriarchy, and the misery those concepts have caused in the world. However, there's so much good in this card too. My friend pointed out during her reading how it also represents community, connection and unity. Traditions created together. How we take care of each other within that communion.
The Hierophant has been showing up in my own readings recently and I recognise the craving for a community within myself. I've received so much help from different organisations and individuals during my own recovery and now I want to give back, almost desperately. Unfortunately, my personal funds aren't yet good enough to be giving out donations regularly but I do what I can with what I have, and I hope I can someday donate some of my tarot earnings as a standard practice.
What I have done, is that I've lowered my prices to be more accessible and I plan to make my services as available as possible, by doing readings for a voluntary donation.

I'm also in process of joining a wonderful, local Eastbourne charity, Wayfinder Woman as a volunteer. I've already organised and been part of their fundraising events but I want to do more. This organisation has given me personally so much through their Creative Joy - Artist's Way art course earlier this year. It gave me exactly what I was hoping for, it demystified the artistic process and allowed me to make mistakes and let go of perfectionism. It gave me the push I needed to relaunch my journey as an artist again. 
Wayfinder Woman provides courses, workshops and coaching for women of different ages and backgrounds, to empower them with new skill sets and self confidence. They also provide food help, advise and therapy for victims of abuse as well as job assistance. Their mission is so wholesome and important and it goes hand in hand with what I also want to give to the community with my tarot services. Advice, healing, empowering, self love and growth. 
I did set up a little fundraising for their charity on my Instagram page, I hope it'll get the attention it deserves. 

I aim to take more active role in the communities that are aligned with my views and values. Give back to the community of human kind.
