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
