Our Symbol for Duality

You can find this symbol in much of our work, interpreted in many different ways. (The symbols below are from photos of our embroidered belts.)

Duality and complementarity are an important underpinning of our worldview. We believe the universe is made up of reciprocal movements, always dual and complementary: darkness-light, formation-disintegration, heat-cold, birth-death, humidity-dryness, day-night. Duality expresses sets of two with different but complementary qualities. Our lives should also express this harmony with the cyclical cosmic movements. Through Mother Earth we construct our lives within this movement. We nourish ourselves with the strength and energy of Father Sun and recuperate our vitality each night in the presence of Grandmother Moon.

Of course, our reality isn't always this peaceful, but it is something we can reflect on to keep ourselves centered.
