Every day we pass trees, flowers, and plants. Most of us don’t truly see them. We’ve been trained to treat green things as mechanisms, objects — resources to be managed or ignored. That way of looking is the same mechanistic story that’s pushed us toward crisis. From cradle to grave we learn to put “nature” … Continue reading Walk with the Living World
That’s the problem. -When you never slow down, you lose perspective. -When you stay indoors, immersed in noise, you drift from reality.

Watch this reel. Then ask yourself: Was it really “progress”? Now we pay for what was once freely shared— Time, care, food, stillness, freedom. Capitalism took all that and fed it you back... It sold back your worth, piece by piece. Dynamic community. Decentralised teams. Regenerative culture. The drawbridges are going up. Let’s meet at … Continue reading Can you really have Capitalism and Community?

Looked after … Continue reading “Kids these days are soft…”
In a small Spanish village, the power went out. They didn’t freeze. They didn’t scroll. They gathered. Someone brought music. Others brought stories, wine, firelight. The square came alive. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a glimpse. We’re heading into deep, unpredictable change—systems cracking, AI rising, the climate humming with tension. Now's the time to get fluent—not … Continue reading No electricity. No problem.
As AI accelerates and digital infrastructure expands, we're faced with critical choices. One road leads to massive data centres—energy-hungry, water-thirsty, and centralised. The other? Regenerative communities: local food systems, homeschooling support, clean water, fresh air, and real resilience. 🌍 One uses more power than the grid can supply. 🌱 The other builds people, place, and … Continue reading QUIZ: What kind of future are we really building?

Introduction Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has long been framed as a disorder—an affliction that requires treatment to eliminate symptoms. However, this perspective may be fundamentally flawed. Rather than viewing PTSD as a disorder, we propose reframing it as Post-Trauma Strategy (PTS)—an unconscious survival mechanism in which the bodymind attempts to ensure future safety. This reframing … Continue reading Reframing PTSD as PTS: Post-Trauma Strategy
