Learning Journey — Nature, Presence, Encountering Life as Practice

Lots of fun to harvest a time of learning. Having spent 4 July days together in some work, some planning, some design preparation, and of course, some wondering / wandering, Quanita and Tenneson reflect on nature, presence, the practice of encountering self, other, life. With some appreciation for the essentialness of both being and doing.

CoVid Grief, Anger, Sadness, Confusion, and Hope

These all go together, don't they. It's important to give ourselves to hope. Or to witness it. It's also important to give ourselves to the grief. Quanita and I reflect on such notions (12 minutes).

Paying Attention to the Thing Underneath the Thing

Tenneson and I wanted to invite our Fire & Water online community to our online living room for a coffee/tea call. A big part of Fire & Water is the ability to pay attention to the unseen as well as the seen. In this call we gathered as larger community together and shared what has our attention in this unprecedented time. This episode is the follow up from that call.
