Yesterday was wonderful. \u00a0We spent the whole day around a fire on MacKenzie Beach listening to three stories and reflecting back what we learned. \u00a0Pawa’s father Moy and uncle Tim both told stories of growing up in a traditional family and village. \u00a0For me Tim’s story of getting stranded with his brother in a rowboat was powerful and contained all kinds of teachings about leadership, knowledge and practice. \u00a0In the afternoon we did the same with Admire’s story from Zimbabwe, the story of what is happening at Kufunda Village. \u00a0A full day of deeply listening to stories, harvesting lessons and teachings. \u00a0And then this morning, Tim’s story was reenacted. \u00a0Myself and Kelly, one of the participants here, re-enacted the story of Tim and his brother in a canoe alternately rowing and baling and having to switch roles while the waves pitch and roll. \u00a0Physically re-enacting the story, sitting in chairs and actually switching places as if we were in a canoe leant a depth to the story – teachings about balance and safety and working together. \u00a0Feeling it is a whole different kind of listening.<\/p>\n

One of the things that is happening here is that we are beginning to experience a really different sense of time. \u00a0We are spending our days outside, blessed by constant sunshine that is a complete surprise at this time of year. \u00a0We are gathering around a fire on the beach or sometimes outside one of the cabins where we are staying. \u00a0Teachings are flowing in everything we do, from cooking to walking, to spending time alone. \u00a0Time is so slow here and we are finding ourselves going to bed at 8:00 after the sunsets and waking up early in the morning. \u00a0This is probably one of the most interesting teachings we are getting from the land itself, watching the tides come and go and the moon grow towards fullness, as we barbeque salmon on the fire and share the work of our little village.<\/p>\n

Purpose is beginning to arise amongst us. And as that happens, offerings are beginning to appear as well, offerings of space for future gatherings, offerings of resources and friendship and deep commitment. \u00a0We are still running the Indiegogo campaign<\/a> so people from around the world are contributing there too, and you can join them. \u00a0Tomorrow we continue our living in open space, heading out for a walk in the woods and perhaps playing some lahal later after the sun goes down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
