Undoing Individualism: Learning from Elizabeth Oldfield
“Individuality can only be valuable when it is not individuality for its own sake but individuality for the human community.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything

When it comes to the very practical business of aligning our vision and values with our actions on the word, we look like amateurs, unfamiliar with the tools we need. Spiritual experiences, perspectives and practices are wrongly framed as otherworldly, rather than precious human resources to bring our ideals into being.
