When we make life about bigger than ourselves, then our life has purpose.
Thinking about our own selves becomes boring and old really fast. So, what are a lot of us still harping on about our own problems for?
I recently finished the Advanced Course in Landmark which was all about this topic. And thank All That Is for that because the Landmark Forum was all about our selves. And while it's important to know ourselves and look after ourselves, doing this together (with others and for others) is much more fun than doing it on our own.
So, at the moment I'm facilitating groups on freedom of possibility in community. 'Intentional' communities with a thriving purpose.
I see myself living with a group of people, sharing and caring with each other, on a large property where we blend our living with nature. Where our infrastructure and permaculture design emerges from the landscape.
Where the nature of the landscape is taken into account. The nature of the landscape includes: the lay of the land, and the spirit of the land.
Spirit being the magnetic vibrations of the land expressed via poetic language and using our bodies as barometers.
We build our structures with an awareness of the land, natural flow of aesthetics and natural eco techniques and strategies for insulation, heating, cooling, air flow, etc., which all display and express themselves like a magical playground that integrates directly into our land (emerges in and out of garden, clouds, orchards..).
Thus we design our permaculture gardens, orchards and related structures such as swales and upraised gardens, with an awareness of the land and natural flow of aesthetics, that blends and merges with the landscape and our building structures.
Our earth is a living resonance and we're all interacting with earth whether we know it or not.
Our interaction with each other and earth is a flow and balance of energies. When we recognise, acknowledge and respect these energies and tap into this flow and balance, then our lives are easy, joyful, graceful. When we fail to recognise, acknowledge and respect these energies, then you see what we've already been living to a large degree - fear, greed, anger, shame..
So my aim is to lead people into possibility and freedom. Shift from old paradigm thinking, acting, feeling into possibility of freedom, choice ('highest' choice being the sensible choice) and flow.
I AM Community. I AM You.
