Nostalgia
I was very fortunate by being born in the late 60's. Fortunate because I was too young to know nor understand the hatred and violence that raged during the 60's to mid 70's.... - Missy...
This Is Where The Hope Is
Ice on the ground. A hard, bright moon. Deer balancing on snow to reach cedar. The air feels tense. Stories of missing mothers. Big voices tossing around power like it’s abstract, like it doesn’t land on real people. The snake is shedding its skin.... - Benzi...
A message I wrote to Joshua Zader about my experience of circling one month before I fell in love with my community in September 2023
Thank you for your response and clarity. I feel heard and considered. I'm enjoying the circling. Witnessing peoples bodies and hearing their impact is a positive experience.... - lyssa...
I'm in Austin TX so I'm lucky that we have the Alamo Drafthouse, which doesn't do the insane ad thing, and instead has really clever, original content related to whatever movie you're about to watch.... - on“Noospheric bioregioning” — roots down, branches and leaves up. Bioregionality is an important piece of the puzzle, but I have also heard leaders like Joe Brewer argue that culture is only a subset of biology. It isn’t. How else to account for the “networked” aspect which is so clearly happening? How else would I be able to listen to a Joe Brewer podcast when I don’t live in the same bioregion? So better to think of networked bioregioning or “noospheric bioregionality”, imo. Socio-cultural systems are more like “intra-biological” items than mere subsets of, or reducible to, biology.by

Hey y'all! I'm J R., eager to see where this experience leads me. What doors open. Who I "vibe" with. Ultimately, I believe we are all one ginormous tribe. I'm down for whatever, just keep it 💯. I want to begin asap traveling the lower 48.... - pacjac...

This is not the usual way of Christian churches. Brian Sanders wrote Microchurches: A Smaller Way. He discussed doing worship, talking over each other's problems, eating meals together - including the Lord's Supper, and working together on some mission as a small group of people... - Redelman...
Healing through the Jazz Ethic
The idea is for the focal point to be the relational matrix, not the individual alone. We are awakening the power of Ubuntu in the life of the individual person and their people. We are optimizing for the individual neurotype and life.... - onMuch better streamlined version of "Beyond Inner Work: Relational Awareness and the Practice of Relateful"by
I enjoyed this paper, Shera. I live and teach in a conscious community at Clear Sky Retreat Center, and recently led a course on Emotional Intelligence and Integral's Emotional Line of Development -- a mix of our mostly-Buddhist teachings, the Emotional Intelligence work of Dan... - lightseeker...
Rhonda Jo, great introduction. There is something deeply meaningful and real in the way you describe family as something lived and chosen, not merely something inherited through DNA. Children don't experience love as a genetic equation.... - Derek...
It's good reflection -- though I cannot understand the impetus to not marry, not have kids based on the state of the grand environment. Not trying to argue with you with that statement, merely to state my thoughts on the matter, but so long as you can maintain a safe environment...
