Music has a way of meeting us exactly where we are — whether we need energy, calm, focus, or a moment of release. What kind of music is inspiring you lately? Is it something… - 🌿 Grounding and earthy (folk, acoustic, ambient sounds)? - 🧠 Focused and flowing (instrumental, classical, lo-fi)? - 🔥 Energizing and moving (rhythmic beats, world music, soul)? - 🌌 Deep and reflective (melodic, lyrical, spiritual)? Or maybe it’s the silence between the notes that feels most powerful right now. Drop a song, artist, genre, or even a feeling in the comments. Let’s share the playlists we’re living by — you might just introduce someone to their new favorite sound. Listening with you

Yesterday’s warmth and sharing were a beautiful reminder of the peace gratitude brings into our days. Thank you for rooting this space with your presence. Today, let’s gently turn our awareness toward intention. What if gratitude wasn’t only for looking back—but also for planting small seeds of hope and presence for the day ahead? 🌱 Check-in Pause for a minute. With kindness, bring to mind one intention you wish to carry into your day—something simple and heartfelt. It could be moving gently, speaking kindly, listening fully, or just being where you are. 💬 Check-out If you’d like, share your intention below in a few words. No pressure, no judgment—only what feels true in this moment. *Example:* “CHECK-IN... [pause] ... CHECK-OUT: Today, I intend to move with ease and greet others with warmth.” We’re not just reflecting—we’re planting. Together, let’s grow a week grounded in gentleness and presence. Thank you for showing up, just as you are. 🌱✨ @Marama Elizabeth @A. N. @Veronika Hübner

If you’ve been around me for a while, you know I’m a huge fan of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) – a gentle way to tap on acupressure points while speaking kind, honest words to calm your nervous system and clear inner blocks. I use it daily, and I’d love to start a supportive thread where we can acknowledge our very real challenges and meet them with compassion, not criticism. #### The Invitation: Complete This Sentence The most classic EFT sentence begins: > “Even though ____________________________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” You can say it out loud, write it down, or even tap along if you know how. The power is in the honest admission paired with unconditional self-acceptance. #### 🌿 Here are a few real-life examples from my world: On sharing my wisdom: “Even though I have so much experience I want to share, but I feel unsure how to find my true tribe who will appreciate it… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On the digital struggle: “Even though I want to connect deeply with people online, but I also feel overwhelmed by screens and long to be more present in nature… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On the self-sufficiency journey: “Even though I dream of a self-sufficient life close to nature in Paraguay, but I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the practical steps and doubt my capability… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On building community: “Even though I desire authentic relationships here, but I sometimes feel shy or worry I won’t fit in… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” #### Your Turn 🎙️ What’s coming up for you right now? What challenge, feeling, or situation feels present in your life? In the comments below, try it out. Fill in your blank. No challenge is too big or too small. > “Even though ____________________________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” Let’s create a wave of honesty and self-compassion. You might be surprised how saying these words can create a little more space, peace, and possibility.

I came across a concept that has me thinking deeply about what's possible: a proposed tiny, self-sufficient home designed to operate completely off-grid, powered by solar and aiming for a radical reduction in living costs and environmental footprint. While the specifics (like the brand or the price tag) are debated, the *underlying vision* is what feels important for our community to discuss. It pushes us to ask: What if we fundamentally rethought our relationship with home, land, and consumption? Let's explore the principles, not just the product: 1. Radical Self-Sufficiency: The idea of a home that generates its own power and manages its own water is a powerful step toward resilience. How can we integrate more of these self-sufficient principles into our own lives, whatever our living situation? 2. Freedom vs. Community: This model offers incredible mobility and freedom from debt. But does a truly mobile life challenge our ability to put down deep community roots and tend a garden for the long term? Can we have both? 3. Our Relationship with "Enough": Living in 375 square feet is a profound practice in minimalism and living with less. What defines "enough" space and possessions for you to live a fulfilled and nature-connected life? This isn't really about one company's idea. It's a catalyst for a bigger conversation about crafting a life that is both ecologically responsible and personally freeing. What are your thoughts? Could you see yourself in a life designed around these principles? What would you embrace, and what would you find most challenging?
