We continue to be moved by all that is happening in this project! Since our last post we participated in the History Jam at Santa Cruz MAH and were just one of the community collaborators. Our focus was to share about this MOSAIC Communi-TREE project and to invite others to attend and participate.
We asked community to consider what's important to each individual at this point in history and created bowls on the top areas of interest. Watch a little piece on our evening.
Those pieces were then used at the Community Leaf making event. We were delighted to have folks join us Saturday who learned about the project because of the Friday night gathering.
At the event, we also invited community to start helping us consider where it should live. We would like somewhere that is publicly accessible and as easily visible by as many people as possible. Maybe enjoying the ability to have bench nearby and possibly along the ocean's edge, as so many have wanted protection of ocean and nature.
Then on Saturday... we had another amazing community creation day!
Just to share about one leaf.... two co-creators made a leaf on Immigration... using community pieces from the MAH event. The creators included every piece without cutting or changing the tiles in any way. They took turns placing the tiles and moved us to consider how families are broken apart, and wanting to make sure there is always a way to come together, and that every one has a safe place.
Really there is so much more to share and tell you about... but, today we begin a period of retreat, where we will be away for almost a week, learning and practicing cultivating wisdom and compassion. May peace, joy, connection be with you all.
Thank you for your interest and support of this project. Our next community event is on July 9. There are no cost for events and we provide all the supplies. We are asking people to register (as it creates some ease for us) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/
Hope you are staying connected to what you care about and what you value. Join us in July... the events are awesome and meaningful.
