Just think of me as an old nurse log as we are doing the bunny hop in future church fellowship halls! You my friend are that young sprout that I know will grow into a lovely shade tree.
Wendy, WOW! This is so well done. Honestly, I think what you have here is a book proposal. A big YES to trees, woodlands, and forests as offering deep wisdom and guidance for community work. The ARE communities par excellence!
I love catching these glimpses of your community work in these posts. Thank you for doing this important work. ❤️ 🙏
Thank you for your kind words! I am playing with writing another book or perhaps rewriting Power Shift with more of a lens for ecological wisdom undergirding our work. However, I am convinced whatever I do should be a collaboration not a solo venture.
When I was in PA a few weeks ago, I visited Falling Water - Frank Lloyd Wright's impressive home, which has fascinated and inspired me since my college days. It was a dream come true to visit it and it exceeded my expectations.
I feel like I would love to do for community cultivating what he did for architecture, but in some way. Would you be interested in helping me think about how my community-cultivating world of and your experience working with people in the regenerative culture spaces might converge? I think these two streams really need to mix more.
As I shared at the virtual meeting on Sunday, my work in Appomattox is the first that has both elements. I be writing more about it this week but I feel like it could do for my next book what my work in RVA did in Power Shift - offering a live learning lab/narrative thread.
If you are interested in brainstorming more about this, perhaps we can meet up the day or so before your live gathering in September. Chris and I were going to come for several days to explore the area. It would be lovely to see the area through your eyes if you are interested in meeting in person.
I love this imagery, Wendy! This would resonate well among our nature-loving youth.
