The Circle of Creation is a map of living a hózhǫ́ spirit in all my relations. It is framed around gentle action*, from both an inner and outer approach. From inner gentle action, the spectrum lies between noticing one’s existing colonized and decolonized mindset, to accepting one’s colonized and decolonized heart, to honoring one’s hózhǫ́ spirit, to effortlessly living one’s hózhǫ́ spirit. From outer gentle action, the spectrum lies between the individual, to the circle, to the nation, to all my relations (the universe). Ultimately, a circle is in a flow of creation when it is living in hózhǫ́ spirit in all its relations.
*Gentle action is a cultural practice, subtle in nature so that a minimal intervention, intelligently made, can result in a major change or transformation. The reason is that such action makes use of the dynamics of the whole system in question.
