Project Reflections
Date | Place | Reflections |
28 jan | peterson garden | i feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time with such a wise elder woman. i realize that i dont have enough of them in my life. |
28 jan | longhouse garden | i joined the tour of the gardens. i have been thinking about how i can contribute to the project. |
31 jan | mariah collaborative arts preschool | my first day with the preschoolers and m & co. it was interesting to see nonviolent communication being used with small children. m uses it very naturally, she doesnt sound as stiff like other people (including myself) i have heard using NVC. the children seemed to respond well to her. |
6 feb | mariah arts | Im not sure how much to just observe and how much to interact. |
8 feb | tesc | 3 meetings. my energy is scattered among too many projects, but i want to make sure i get enough hours. researched goddesses for circle, didnt get to go. |
11feb | peterson garden | what is happening here for me? im not sure but it feels important. After this day i thought i would like to find an older neighbor to spend time with on a regular basis, maybe i can volunteer some garden work or housework and soak up a little of the wisdom of another elder. my son too. |
13feb | mariah arts | I missed the kids this time, since last week. |
14feb | mariah arts | A and C and M all came up at different times to hug me and wanted to sit by me and were very affectionate. On my last day there. |
25feb | peterson garden and longhouse | wow. this was a big experience for me. it is hard for me to comprehend what this is about. it is changing my life in ways i don't quite see yet but i can feel it. |
1 mar | tesc computer center | i am surprised at how excited i am to learn how easy it is to scan pictures into the computer, and put things on a website. i generally have an aversion to computers but i find myself wishing i had more pictures to scan! |
4 mar | tesc- synergy | first i watched the film "Downtowners". it brought up a lot of emotion for me, it was hard to not cry several times. then i went to Michael Pilarski's talk about permaculture and ecological restoration. i love his energy. then i went to see Elaine Grinnell tell some stories, traditional and personal. wow. then starhawk speaking and leading a spiral dance. magic. mmm |
