Gary Gygax has passed

March 9, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Being

Last week, Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons and Dragons passed away.   When I was a kid, in the early eighties, you either played D&D and or you didn’t, and I did.   I went through a few years of playing a little, not as intensely as some, but a fair amount nonetheless.     In D&D I found an outlet for my imagination, and in an era when computer games got no more interesting than Pac-Man, it was a blessing to be engaged in play like that. My seven year old son is a gamer.   I taught …

The mother map

March 4, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Art of Harvesting, Art of Hosting, Conversation, Emergence, Flow 5 Comments

I have been trying various ways to draw a grand map of all of these things, and here is my latest effort, a sketch I did today based …

The synchronicity of old connections

March 4, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Being, CoHo, First Nations 5 Comments

I was listening to The Current on CBC Radio this morning and I caught an interview with Marlene Brant-Castellano on the newly announced Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Residential Schools (hear the interview here).   Back in the mid 1980s when I was at Trent University, Marlene was a professor in the Native Studies Department.   She was a beautiful teacher – quiet and inviting and embodying tremendous dignity and powerful conviction all at the same time.   I connected with her quite deeply as I began to explore questions of culture and community.   It was in her classes …
