Dear SunBeing,
So many transitions going on for us! We (Kate & Owen) are now in a new village, after a rollercoaster 2 years living in an off-grid mountain village with little infrastructure and intense land energetics.
Before we were able to move our cats and things to our new home, a huge wildfire raged for more than a week right beside our old home. It was an anxious time but luckily the village was saved. (I’ll write more about this soon in a blog – the photo below is the beautiful mountain we now live beneath.)
The new place allows us more time to add to SunBeings, so stay tuned. For now, let’s get to the new additions!
Share a story: The Joy of Bartering – By Julie Ulbricht
Julie shares her experiences of exchange with no money involved with one of her bartering friends. A story of real abundance, natures flow and the interesting coincidences that can happen. An inspiring example of how bonds are strengthened and the ensuring that others needs are met. Also enjoy a delightful kale recipe shared in this post.
Call out for SIR Art Contribution
The SIR Art Contribution invites artists who have joined the October Silent Immersion (SIR) held and offered by Oracle Girl (OG) to submit works done during this SIR. All painters, drawers, illustrators, writers, photographers, ceramists, fibre artists, paper artists, mixed media artists are welcome. The idea is to foster collaboration, spark creative exchange, amplify the golden togetherness and collect beautiful artworks.
The submitted works must be original and reflective of the stated theme of the SIR ‘Clear light, the 3 lights & the body’. They will be published in a print-on-demand magazine on Blurb.com. Which can be ordered individually after its publication. The magazine will also allow people outside of the OG space to explore the complex and profound SIR theme in their own way without further explanations.
The collaboration is organised by isabelle Blum, member of SunBeings and the Purification Space, who draws and illustrates. More information about her work here: https://plumedserpent.net/
When you’d love to contribute, please send an email to isabelle@plumedserpent.net for further information.
Blog: A report on a one of a kind tribal co living experiment – By Prospurity Publications
A subscriber of SunBeings has recommended this detailed report, reshared with permission, of a fascinating co-living experiment. Certain principles and activities were used to carry it out to keep it as aligned as possible to the dream of the new earth and how we can relate better as human beings. It looks honestly at the human dynamics that can play out, both the joys and the challenges, that made for an enriching experience for many who were involved.
Video recommendation: Saz – The Key of Trust
Petra Nachtmanova travels to the end of the world to follow the songlines of a musical instrument she fell in love with: the Saz. With her Saz on her back, she travels from Berlin to Istanbul, across Anatolia, over the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus to the dusty deserts of eastern Iran, meeting bards all the way from different cultures. Everyone asks them one thing: “Play me a song that I can take home with me.”
“Saz” is a film about the power of music and the vastness of the world, a breathtaking trip to the border region between Europe and Asia that shows that despite conflicts and crises there is something out there that holds us all together.
