The Jungian Global Consilium for Archetypal Revitalization
THE GATHERING: A CALL TO COLLECTIVE GRIEVING AND RECKONING
We are a nation in the grip of an unmetabolized grief—a sorrow too vast for any one ideology, region, or identity to hold alone. This movement is an invitation to step out of the war of fragments and into the sanctuary of shared mourning, where every fractured piece of America’s soul has a place at the fire.
The Archetypes We Must Embody Together
🔥 The Mourner (Every One of Us)
The keeper of unwept tears—for stolen lands, broken promises, children lost to violence or indifference. Your grief is not weakness; it is the first stitch in the fabric of repair.
🌾 The Storyteller (The Elders and the Youth)
The one who whispers the names of what we’ve lost and dreams aloud what might yet be. Stories are the shovels that dig us out of the rubble of denial.
⚖️ The Witness (The Silent Majority)
You who have watched from the edges, aching but unsure how to help. Your attention—your refusal to look away—is sacred activism.
🌀 The Trickster (The Artists and Fools)
The disruptor of stale narratives, who laughs at the absurdity of our divisions even as they carve new doorways in the walls between us.
🌉 The Bridge (The Unexpected Allies)
You who love someone "from the other side"—your stubborn love is the blueprint for our survival.
Our Ritual of Reckoning
-
Name the Wounds
-
Not to weaponize them, but to lay them bare in the communal square.
-
-
Hold the Tensions
-
Let rural rancher and urban activist sit in the same circle, not to debate, but to say: "I see your sorrow. Here’s mine."
-
-
Feed the New Story
-
Where "patriotism" means tending to the land and each other, where "freedom" includes the freedom to be whole.
-
Why Grief First?
Because rage is frozen mourning. Because no system can heal while its people are still screaming into the void where their grief should be.
This is not a protest. It is a wake.
Come as you are—Republican or Democrat, skeptic or believer—but come human. Bring your anger, your numbness, your hope that won’t die. We need all of it.
