Creating

Community

Finding our way towards imagining and creating new communities based upon mutual trust

What shows up here?

Finding peace

Within a state of peace I can support and advocate for change, within myself and my community.

Writing stories

Everyone has a story, many are given to us by others, some our own. How do I contribute my own?

Creating Community

My internal somatic community and my external social community, how do I care for and nurture them both?

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
They must, they have no other models.”

From James Baldwin, one of my models, guides me to become a useful elder.

About here

Ferns were some of the earliest leafy plants to transition from the water to the land here on our planet.

How did they manage that adaptation and settle on the land?

Learning to adapt to and settle with a new community, or a new neighbour, or a new lover, or a diagnosis of a chronic heath condition, or a new responsibility, how do I manage this?
As opportunities for learning?

My first teachers were clouds, skies, mountains, rivers, soils, plants, insects, animals, birds and fungi. These were all around me as a child and easy to find and investigate.

If we as a species can learn to share our planet with all the other life forms that have designed and produced these liveable communities here on Earth, maybe we can reduce the destructive and violent behaviours we seem to have fallen into?

This is what I am about, asking questions, imagining new scenarios, learning and sharing what I have learned.

QUESTIONS?

I am not sure we are asking the right questions in our mainstream, modern, fossil fuelled communities.
Over the last few decades I have played with these;
How do I want to live and love?
What would that look like?
What do I offer to my communities?
What do I offer myself?
How do I fail and recover and fail again?
In what ways do I hold and share life and love?
