Manifesto

This manifesto is the culmination of many conversations, brainstorming sessions, much reading, looking, thinking, daydreaming, and freewriting. As well as heaps of sharing, shaping, editing, rewriting, and resharing. The process of creating this document is also an integral part of its purpose.

These thoughts are, in some respects, an effort to, in the words of author Natalie Goldberg, "Write Down The Bones." More specifically, to get to the marrow of our marrow — to capture what we think, feel, and believe about what, how, and why we do what we do in this particular moment — understanding that everything can, and will change — that we may look at this document in a month, or six, or in two years, and burn it all down and start over.

It's burning it all down and starting over

We are endlessly grateful to and inspired by "an invitation to RADICAL TENDERNESS" by Dani d'Emilia Vanessa Andreotti.

It is living in creative response to all that is present.

It is built in tiny moments of presence, seeing, listening, receiving, giving and learning as reciprocal practice.

It is falling and flying;

Flying and Falling
