How Do We Gather Consciously & Intentionally?
Greetings Pioneers of this Present
I have played some grand and wonderful roles in the festy world.. Entertainment Director, Security, Marketer, stander, greeter … Email, Caller, Answer… lol… the list of Services… is endless, And I loved every minute. The thing I loved the most was, Tribe, and the thing loved the least was how much money we paid to a venue that only hosted our event, but did not necessarily carry on its values after it. So I began to think like this Article Suggests…how could we have a gathering that would keep giving back… that would be a teaching tool and a way for our people to get into it…to get into the tech, the ideas, the awakening?
The research I have done and been privileged to be alongside others who have invested countless lives (or so it seems some nights) to bring forth who they are and what they are called to share — shows me lands opening up to the people and events that build in complete balance with those lands! I may repeat this once more ” in COMPLETE BALANCE with those lands. I see gatherings of people restoring paradise- where none exists anymore- and I see something magical happening within these moments. I see life awakening. I see a drip economy developed from the micro to the macro. An economy that is more about the gathering and the potential there, than any cost to get there, any cost to make it happen, and any short to longer term investments (rather it be time, skill, resource, etc.) I see these visions in my dreams awakening. They look like this: Sponsored engagements with the work that must be done to give back to mother earth all that was taken by some of our ill informed predecessors. To do so with a patient heart and ear and to get well in the mean-time by gracefully accepting the guidance and support that comes…in whatever form it should choose to.
Volunteers/attendees come and learn what it takes to be self sufficient where-ever they are. Or they may become activated and help the next land project/festival get started. Or stay within the one they came to from the start. Oh, there are those gypsies who will travel and trade and a free zone amongst each will definitely be open to exchange. Each space is complete when it is. If it takes more work or special skills-sets then of course it will not be a public event. It will be a call to the specialists amongst us to begin the process and get gentle with it. We understand, those looking at “it”, that some places need stewards who are willing to take the time it needs to do what needs to be done – to heal any wounds found anywhere we may choose to go to which we are called. Events will spring from our connection to the land and where we are called. As it has for many so far. Where do you feel drawn and why?
Next — how do we create an impact that will alter life and bring it into complete harmony and balance with Nature? We do it one site at a time!
