Many Hands Makes For Little Work

Lots of different ways to cut ceramics

Preparation continues for launching our community project. We are grateful for the extra helping hands, ones filled with excitement and eagerness to contribute. Happy helping hands! Even with a down pouring tempest of rain and wild winds, we gathered to break ceramics and sort tessera.

It Takes a Village

Exciting week of creating tshirts with Dennis. Lots of laughs and creative energy went into the design and layout. Breathing deeply, shared decision-making, and listening to our energy levels all contribute to a process filled with joy, ease, gratitude and meaningful connection.

Seedling Magic

Last Saturday a group of twelve friends helped to test the process for co-creating our Community Mosaic Project. What an exciting coming-out event, of sorts. We noticed the curiosity, openness and a sweet sense of an accepting “pop-up community” in which we use feelings as a source of creative inspiration and expression. We plan to let this project unfold organically and to trust the process.

Power Tools

Preparation continues... This week's focus is on thinking about how to facilitate meaningful and joyful participation that fosters community co-creation and connection in ways where we show care and respect for all. Joyful preparation also includes powertools. One could say that listening and creative expression are power tools too.
