When the dreaming begins to take root

When you live in a reality that everything is alive and connected - it feels hard to witness the ways in which society pushes us apart, keeping us separate from one another and distracted from the ways in which we are connected to the earth. 

My partner and I have been researching ways to ensure that we have housing security, land to spend our time, to cultivate the land and plant/tend to our own food. To meet someone who has the same dream of waking up on the land we tend to, sitting on our wooden porch with a cup of coffee - listening to the birds and watching the sunrise before diving into the day - has been a beautiful thing. 

We live in Northern California, where a lot of the land surrounding our current home, is considered part of the burn scar from multiple large fires that California has seen in the last ten years - the park fire, the camp fire & the north complex/dixie fire. Knowing that we could put our energy into bringing life back to the soil & the communities in which we live is something I hold on dearly to. 

As someone who is an artist by trade, I am eager to create a way to send out a little happiness and love into the world while also creating a savings for us to put down roots on a piece of land & cultivate a relationship with it and the food we consume. 



Watching this youtube video touched me in ways that I find hard to articulate. There are so many examples of humanness that I desire to experience, witness and cultivate within my own community. The idea of a community being able to sustain itself, to support itself - by having food not a financial burden but an offering because someone was able to see the idea of gifting food, and gifted this beautiful soul the land to bring his dream to life.
