Deepening our connection to landscape

For decades the leading nature writer has been collecting unusual words for landscapes and natural phenomena – from aquabob to zawn. It’s a lexicon we need to cherish in an age when a junior dictionary finds room for ‘broadband’ but has no place for ‘bluebell’

Seeing & Being Seen : Looking at, becoming, appearing - https://mailchi.mp/ffc4d426fc88/seeing-being-seen-looking-becoming-appearing
Family Constellation Workshop 20 July 2019 Cape Town
An invitation to come and join this 1-day workshop. Together we will explore the different levels of seeing and looking at. Through seeing or looking we place ourselves in relationship to what or who we see. There are different ways that engagement may open with another. Appearing, existing, connected, relational. About seeing, being seen. http://www.theinnerprocess.com/

"George Prochnik’s book In Pursuit of Silence examines our human relationship to sound and what is lost when we can no longer find quiet."

George Prochnik’s book In Pursuit of Silence examines our human relationship to sound and what is lost when we can no longer find quiet. In this essay, George continues this exploration through a reflection on this issue’s virtual reality film Sanctuaries of Silence, asking how it is that acoust...

Colour, beauty, joy. Emotion, art and the senses. Tangled into happiness. A state of beingness.
Looks very like the Bo-Kaap?

Will building delight into cities make them more cloying or more fun?

The Hidden Revealed:
Widening the horizon of understanding

Family Constellations Deep Learning Groups 22-23 June

"We can’t impose our will upon a system. We can listen to what the system tells us ...
We can’t control systems or figure them out. But we can dance with them!" Donella Meadows, Systems Thinker

These Learning Groups offer a holder for exploring life at a deeper level.
http://www.theinnerprocess.com/family-constellations-deep-learning-group-22-23-june.html/

Each weekend will offer tools for creating space for intimate exploration of self, self in the family system, and exploration of the space that we ourselves, occupy in the world. We will explore the ' how' of doing constellations.

We will work experientially, learning how to access information through our bodies, without words; through our senses, through deep observation and aware connections to ourselves and each other. Learning how to ‘see’ the invisible, how to uncover what is not ordinarily ‘seen’ in our usual surface day-to-day living.

We will learn by exploring living systems, our systems of belonging: present family, birth family and other systems that we overlap with. Together we will learn how to develop and deepen a fine observation, to see an impulse for movement, to hear the echo of voices; to feel emotional textures and resonance of past events and discover how they continue to impact systems in the present.

An invitation to come and join us on this journey into life.

Honouring and remembrance of the past. WWll has a long reach. So often still impacting those in the present generation. The trauma and overwhelm was so great at the time of experience. It still needs to be seen and acknowledged in this present of 2019.

The battle is long over, but the fight against extremist illiberal politics is not.

Movement in time. To dance to move is being in the world, connecting to the earth.

To build brains and bodies capable of relationships, humans needed to move: dance shaped our culture and created the mind

Maira Kalman On Love, Not Knowing, Persevering.....

"It’s taken me these many years to understand that a human being can encompass very contradictory ideas and feelings at the exact same time. They’re not separate; they don’t even follow each other so much. They just live in you. For me, to clarify what I love, to do what’s amazing, to understand my confusion or my sorrow and to still continue to — the thing about it is that you persevere."

There are so many compelling ideas in On Being's Krista Tippett's long interview with author and illustrator Maira Kalman, that we made a selection, with images from past posts....

Fascinating article by Christian Jarrett: how plastic is the brain. "Normal" brains can experience a state of synesthesia - sensory cross-overs of the senses.

By Christian Jarrett. The new findings have a bearing on theories for how synesthesia occurs.
