Blog post #38: Growing together

Growing together. Was not only the title of my last university course. Seems to be THE THING in my life.

Co-creating community. Weaving networks. Verbally Pollinating. Laughing together. Learning together. Connecting with each other – and to oneself. As the birthplace for action.

This summer I was immersed in a week long embodied training course called Vocation Pulse. Each one of us, every little human flower, started to bloom. Because, as Climbing Poetree rightly ask: Why would a flower hesitate to open? , particularly when there is nourishing social soil:

A fertile ground for old and new ideas could also be found at the CSX (community-supported economy) network meeting near Kassel last week. The transformation landscape is evolving. People and their ideas… growing together…

Interestingly, next to the objects I had put into the center during the check-in, a quite fitting action item / wanna do was placed: „improving framework conditions in the long term“ and finding an accessible, understandable language.

I´ll take on this action item.

After the TRAFOS, I´ll make sure to now provide for fertile soil conditions at the Social Change Hub (SCHub) at Leuphana University of Lüneburg.

In terms of community building and network weaving: Next stop Art of Change Summit in Alpbach, Austria, organised by the Pioneers of Change.

I’m ready to laugh, learn, and connect. I’m ready to grow together.

What about you?
