Focusing on the concept of things sacred, the authors explore how this widespread concept can bring those things we cannot see, but know exist, into spaces in which we can work with them and use them to evolve. The article captures some essential elements in the work of many regenerative pioneers, and it presents an analog to those who are working in a fields in which tremendous value and meaning can be created or lost that is understood, but perhaps not seen.

"While the integration of the sacred and the secular is the natural way of South African life and many other non-Western cultures, it remains rare in much of Western mainstream society. As Western institutions break down in every direction — siloing the sacred from the rest of life at both the personal and systemic levels — this is not only unnatural, it is depleting our ability to creatively and with firm foundations address the existential crises of our time."
