Gazit Chaya Nkosi (they/m) is guided by the Rumi line, “Out beyond rightdoing and wrongdoing there is a field—I’ll meet you there.” Their first 35 years were spent trying to be good while navigating chronic anxiety, suicidality, sensory sensitivity, and social communication mismatches. Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where “good” was no longer the goal. A workshop on polyvagal theory, a new understanding of the nervous system, an AuDHD diagnosis and a lot of therapy later and they are now creating a life truly worth living, one filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, The Work of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.
book by Gazit Chaya Nkosi
My journey from the psych hospital to a life worth living was filled with depression, anxiety and despair until things started to shift. Most human interactions are filled with complaints, criticism and comparison. But what if we could let go of victimhood and learn the lessons that we are offered in the midst of all the shit. What if all the shit has a purpose for each of us. What if we are given shit because we need it. We need it so that we can lovingly commit to composting it into the fertilizer that we need to grow as beings. Through decades of pain, I came to believe that each person is given the exact right amount of shit to form the fertilizer they will need to grow and serve on this planet. We are responsible for our own shit, if we give our shit to someone else, we won’t have enough, and if we take other people’s shit, we will have too much. Join me as I sort through the shit, and emerge with gratitude, joy and curiosity.
by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
