I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
As I've been mentioning in previous posts, we're planning to relaunch the @alive.chat community engagement activities at the beginning of January, starting with three initially. We're getting everything ready to go as quickly as we're able, and things are so far looking good for a start date in the first week of January, we're just working on the final details and essential components now.
Quite a lot of work still remains for us as we go through this process of taking stock and rebooting the We Are Alive Tribe, and we're doing the best that we can with our available time, since we all have lives outside of Hive as well that need our attention. I still need to get back to doing an inventory of the assets on all the community accounts, so that we know that with which we're working, and how best to make use of the assets that are available to us. It's about half done, and I'll see if I'm able to finish it up this week. Fingers crossed!
We have various community accounts (aside from @aliveandthriving, @alive.chat, and @youarealive), like @aliveandsocial, @aliveprojects, @iamalivechalleng, and @wearealive, that we intend to bring back online, and to make useful parts of the Alive Ecosystem once again. We're slowly putting all the puzzle pieces together, a little more each day. Generating more sustainable active and passive income for reward distribution, and to continue growing the assets on the various community accounts, is also a top priority. I would also like to find a way to pay the loyal Alive members that are helping us run and manage the activities on our various accounts. We'll get there, one step at a time.
On another topic, I attended the local jungle neighborhood Christmas party over at Cocowasi yesterday, and I must say that I'm grateful that I chose to go. It was an enjoyable event, with live music, a huge potluck, a beautiful space, and even yard games, like volleyball. I got into a conversation with Sol, a woman who has been living at GaiaYoga for a few weeks now, about my sessions, as she was very interested in them, so much so that she wants to schedule one for herself. I also ran into my dear friend, Lea, who introduced me to her friend, Amanda, who is staying with her for a while. She also wanted a session, which we scheduled for Saturday. Lea has also been wanting a session, though she's a busy bee like me, so finding time has been a challenge, but I'm sure we'll make it happen soon. Another woman, Riana, who also attended the party, already has a session scheduled for tomorrow, after our phone conversation the other day. So the waves of women with whom I'll be working in sessions is rising once again.
It's always so curious and fascinating to me how my sessions flow. During the summer months, when many people are off-Island, the sessions that I'm giving usually slow to a trickle, and I can even go a few months without any. As soon as one woman books a session, however, almost invariably a string of other women doing the same begins, so I go from few to no sessions, to almost more sessions than I can handle, within a very short amount of time, and it's now happening again. So over the next few weeks it seems that I'm going to be giving quite a lot of sessions, which is a wonderful thing, because I love the work that I do with women, it supports me in terms of money, and I get to assist and help an ever-growing number of ladies to feel really good in their bodies and their beings. Beautiful.
Yesterday, Christmas Tuesday, I finished up my Hive tasks as quickly as I could, so that I could get my three main important community tasks (milking Daisy, doing the dry-goods order in Tutu's, and collecting cow food) done before leaving for the Christmas party. Thankfully I got everything done with time to spare, and we also didn't end up leaving on time, so everything flowed well. We finally left for the party, in two cars, close to 3PM, and we returned to GaiaYoga by around 7:30PM. As soon as I got back, I collected my jar of kefir from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications, which I began before leaving the party. I started about an hour and a half later than usual, so it took me until just before 11:30PM to get through everything. After some token management, and getting lost exploring the new Qortal UI, I went to bed around 12:30AM. Even though I didn't sleep long, I did sleep well, waking up around 7:30AM, doing more token management, starting on this post, posting my latest Hive Goals and Progress Update in the most recent Saturday Savers Club post, then finally getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee around 8:45AM. It's now just before 12:15PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first make some food for Iolanthe down at Tutu's (at her request), go milk Daisy with Sol (who offered to help), some photography for these posts, and for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Shadow Hunters entry later today, and the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2024 Life Goals
1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do.
2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness.
3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others.
4.) Dance regularly again.
5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again.
6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.
7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.
9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships.
10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice.
11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.
