In moments of transformation, the Witness observes without judgement, allowing clarity to emerge. The Witness embodies mindfulness, presence, and quiet strength.
When the shadow is engaged, the Witness may retreat from action, becoming overly passive or detached, losing their ability to respond with compassion.

“I feel that the root is a crisis of separation from the living world and an understanding that we are... part of a living, breathing Earth... This process of forgetfulness is important to recognise because if we try to solve these crises without addressing the root cause, they will never truly be resolved.” – Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee
