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 most of you probably know, I've been a comment moderator for the Alive Tribe, on the @aliveandthriving account, for quite a while now, a job that I have done my best to do diligently, dependably, and reliably since I accepted the position. Erik, @flaxz, the creator of the Alive Tribe, took a leave of absence at the beginning of the year, with many of the various Alive initiatives stopping, and it's been a small crew of Hivers, Rosyel (@iamraincrystal), Ben (@benthomaswwd), and myself, that have kept things running since then. The Alive Tribe has been a pretty quiet place for most of that time, with only the daily @aliveandthriving curatated collection posts still going out regularly.
It seems now that Erik will not be returning to lead the project, as the obligations in his daily life no longer permit it, so he is transferring that leadership role to Rosyel, Ben, and myself. We're in discussion among ourselves now about how best to get things up and running again, and to move forward from here. Apparently Erik had intended to do this earlier, as he expected to be returning. I'm any case, the time of the Alive Tribe's rebirth is at hand.
We're in the process now of creating a core team, to take charge of and manage the various activities and initiatives of the Alive Tribe accounts. Our intention is to decentralize the management of the Alive Tribe, to get more Hivers involved who want to help us bring the Alive Tribe back to its former glory, and perhaps even make it better and more amazing than it was before.
We're also talking about the idea of interconnecting and integrating Ben's @heartbeatonhive project, which is already Alive-focused, as well as perhaps the MMB Meta-Project that I'm creating with @borniet. @borniet will also be getting the ALIVE tipping bot back online and functioning, and will handle the backend.
This is exciting, because now that we will have the power to get access to, and bring all Alive Tribe accounts and components together, and functioning as a whole, once again. It may also be time to re-envision what the Alive Tribe is, why it's here, what it does, and what our purpose on the Blockchain is. Let's Make The Alive Tribe Great Again!
Yesterday, Thursday, I got all of my Hive tasks done quite early in the morning, to be able to get everything packed up to head back to GaiaYoga from the retreat center where Melekai held her women's retreat. That process went quickly and smoothly, and we were ready to leave on time. Before we left, Melekai and I got into deeper conversations with the two owners (who are also partners), Danielle and Daniel, as they very much appreciated our energy, and what we brought to the space. They are interested in collaborating with us in running retreats there, which is a pretty exciting possibility. We talked for a good hour more before we finally left. One very cool thing (for me at least) was that aside from the first day that we arrived, and just before we left, I was naked the entire time, for which I'm super grateful. I also got a chance to go see the beautiful waterfall on the property before I left, where I got a few photos. The trip back to GaiaYoga went quickly, with two stops in Pahoa for Melekai to run two errands. When we arrived back at GaiaYoga, I unloaded everything from the car, and put it all back in its proper place. Apparently Kevin, who had been milking Daisy while I was away, came very early in the morning yesterday, and Daisy was out in the jungle somewhere. He called her, but didn't have too much time to wait, so the cow had not yet been milked by the time we came home around 1PM. I was tired after the retreat, and I really didn't feel like milking Daisy alone, and I tried to put it off to the next morning, but Daisy didn't like that idea, so milking her solo is what I did a little after 3PM. It went smoothy, thankfully, and after processing the milk and washing the milking tools, I returned to the Flow House to finally relax, and to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications, which thankfully I was able to complete by just after 9PM, at which point I wrote and published My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 352 - Tree Fern Shadows on Pavement, and then after a little token management, I went to bed just after 11:15AM. I did sleep well, very thankfully (yes, I know I use that word a lot), waking up around 6:30AM, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed around 8:15AM to to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Hans. Daisy was off in the jungle again when we arrived, but soon came wandering up to the front for her milking and food. Once milking was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12PM, so a marvelous 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 focus oh photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until 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.
