Co-creating a More Beautiful World
Have you ever asked the Universe for something, something perhaps a little outlandish and unlikely, and then somehow had this thing spontaneously appear in your life? I have. In fact, it happened to me just recently. Considering my previous blog posts about ‘the revolutionary power of synchronicity’, I think this short tale is worth telling. Road Trips It all started...
I want to tell you about a beautiful book I have just finished reading. It is not a visionary novel, nor a ground-breaking book of educational value. Nor is it a book of exciting short stories or high brow literature. In fact, whilst I was reading it, at times I even considered putting it down, feeling bored and impatient by...
After two years of observations, investigations and hard work, I am happy to announce that I have finally completed my permaculture design project for the community garden! I can officially say I am a qualified permaculture designer! It has been a long time coming, and at times I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it to the end. However,...
A short tale of how an afternoon bike ride led me to a beautiful example of hope, strength and resilience in these turbulent times. When I went out for a bike ride today I did so with a heavy heart. The conflict on our planet seems to be unending. The violence, aggression, use of force and domination over others and...
The time has come to get out of our fur-lined pocket and take our positions on the front lines as the courageous co-creators that we are. Because if not us, who? These are strange, challenging and chaotic times we are living in. So much has changed since I wrote my first blog post. I never could have predicted what...
The community garden saga continues! What will my permaculture investigations reveal about the ongoing conflicts that have been plaguing La Plaza for so long? Using permaculture techniques such as stakeholder questionnaires, interviews, and a good old fashioned chat over tea and cake, I explore some of the problems that have been hanging around the community like a bad smell...
A new community, permaculture explorations and co-creation in action- reflecting on what I have learnt so far as I follow this off-grid dream. We are now at the end of June 2020 and things seem to have slowed down and sped up at the same time. The fire that I spoke about back in January when I made my...
A more beautiful world is possible and it starts with an attitude of gratitude Before this global pandemic broke out I had some ideas for what I thought we could do for the first monthly challenge. But in light of the global situation, I feel like we have enough challenge on our plate right now and maybe could do without...
What would you do with your life if you had no fear? If fear wasn’t there, whispering in your ear and telling you that you can’t, that it’s impossible, that you are kidding yourself…what would you do? This seems like both an inspiring question and a cliché at the same time. How many times have we heard this question...
Life is so short yet how many of us really ask ourselves what it is that we really want? Sometimes life seems like it is just one long tunnel of social agreements. We go to school, college, university. We go on to get a ‘good’ job, we find a partner, we wed. We aim to get a promotion, a...
Join me as I transition from the city to the country, following my hearts desire for a more sustainable life based on respect for the Earth and all the creatures in it. Let’s co-create a more beautiful world!
