What is Devotional Co-Working?

Devotional co-working in connection.

We hold Devotional Co-Working Sessions over time as a substrate for Life to culture, like a sacred Petri dish, but open and rooted, human and living land.

Life’s work is sacred.
We learn how to do it again, together.

Many of us in this community are up to big things. We know the world is changing and we are on a leading edge towards something more beautiful. It’s already happening - and there is work to do.

Let’s weave on purpose and do the work together, with intention, in connection to what we truly hold sacred, to what actually moves us alive.

The only way to weave a more beautiful world
is together.

  • We start at 11am sharp, checking in for no longer than 30 minutes, and lighting the altar candle. We go into quiet focus mode until 1pm.

    1-2pm is lunch + social break (for weaving as wanted)

    Session two begins at 2pm sharp for another round of focus until 4pm when the candle is blown out.

    You are welcome to come to both or one of the day sessions.

    Devotional Co-focusing Sessions are held weekly Tuesdays and Wednesday between 11am-4pm at The Coffee Stand in downtown Boulder.

  • We light the altar candle to draw our attentions together, to honor the fire that burns in each of us, that roars when we are together in a good way. It affirms the aliveness of the field even and especially when it is quiet and the creative and devotional energies are flowing.

  • Devotions in DCFS is a vernacular ritual of sharing our deepest values and agreements explicitly, naming with witnesses what and whom we serve with our aliveness and attention.

    The Devotional Compass, which we cover in Groundworks, is an enactment of this deep care and desire, and helps yoke us to a way of being and relating that honors them.

  • We generally have a short round of check-ins, in which folks share briefly what may bring them more present to the field.

    This is in support of the weaving of community relations, and to keep us abreast of the present moment as it actually unfolds in the hearts, bodies, and minds of our Mystery Worker kin.

  • Groundworks is an interactive workshop for uncovering and articulating your deepest values, creating a Devotional Compass for your unique sacred orienteering.

    Groundworks is about preparing the ground of your being, your home, and your relations for surrendering even more completely to the truth of what you are here to do and be.

    Next cohort TBA.

FAQs

  • Devotional Co-Focusing Sessions are informal rituals, what we call vernacular or folk rituals.

    They serve to weave our attention and presence together in subtle and overt ways that strengthen the social fabric of the local community.

    They invite folks into new social roles and arrangements - together as Mystery Workers, as devotional beings, as visionaries, as way-showers, as artists, as healers, as revolutionaries.

    It restores the origin and residence of power to the dynamic heart of the collective, to the body of interbeing that we share as land-based kin.

    We affirm the presence and interrelatability of the sacred through the ritual act of coming together, becoming present, sharing our devotions, lighting the candle, working with the Mystery, and then closing that space, blowing out the candle, dispersing, a little different now, a bit more connected, more present, perhaps very much more inspired.

  • Devotional Co-Focusing Sessions are for Mystery Workers - beings working to bring forth something that deepens the experience of being alive, of being sentient, sapient, profoundly relational.

    DCFS are for folks who know they are here to do good work on behalf of Life. For obvious reasons, we don’t put a high value on knowing exactly what that is, as it is the Mystery we are working with, after all.

    What we aim to nurture is the curiosity and the longing that draws us to depart from the hyperconsumptive, preternaturally meaningless script of the ambient culture, and invest ourselves instead in the More Beautiful World that our hearts know is possible.

  • The relational ecology that emerges with virtually any consistency of presence and devotional work tends to be incredibly fertile. There may be useful complexities that shine light on what hadn’t been noticed before, possible linkages, thoroughfares of nourishment of all kinds, that bolster the wellbeing of the community - its resilience, interrelatedness, and spiritual investment in the happenings of the place.

    Here in Boulder, we have a population that skews heavily towards the principled idealistic, the integrally deep, the earthy magical, and the gratefully well-resourced.

    The movement in Boulder has been gathering naturally. We have a growing number of local farmers pioneering scientific and sacred relationship with these particular lands, saving heirloom seeds and defying all predictions with soil regeneration and clever land work.

    We have vibrant communities of embodied movers, a swathe of diverse spiritual communities, many students of all kinds, indigenous communities, migrant communities, adventurers in body and spirit. We are here together, sharing the air and the water, the dazzling sunshine and the blessed ground. It is clever that we take up the mantle of our mutual presence here, the incontrovertible reality of our interbeing, the inextricability of some aspects of our fate.

    So, here’s to the weaving.

    Here’s to the relationships of depth and beauty that nourish our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls.

    Here’s to the Rekinaissance.

    Let it matter that we are here together, because it does.

  • Well, what do you care about?
