How does it work?
One of our stories is all of our stories. In telling our life's stories we are connecting to others who may share our story-line. Finding that others are like-souled, we experience an exhalation of sorts--a peacefulness. From this peace, creative, grounded action naturally flows.
Heart-based action is a natural outgrowth of feeling connected. This site is based on exchange: as you receive 'juice' from sharing your life stories, you may feel the desire to take action that reaches across barriers. The 'connect' page has a expanding list of resources for taking action.
So...you are invited to share personal stories of strength, hope, healing, wisdom and pearls from the dreamtime (this section will soon include info and process on how to start your own dream circles). Art as healer is a vital message of this site, so you are encouraged to upload digital image and clips of your art--performance or visual. Sharing what you've discovered as a pilgrim through important life transitions (from childhood to elder) is vital. This sharing closes the loop, helping us to the capacity to be simultaneously a teacher and a student, a neophyte and elder--all at the same moment. And then if your heart calls you to it, take action through connection to the larger Community.
For all the story pages, you are welcome to share photos of yourself with your stories, videos or digital photography of your art.
You have to 'join' to participate in the site, although you can read anything that is posted without joining. We hope you feel compelled to join and participate more fully!
The story site is moderated. Editing may occur to maintain privacy. In addition, the web host makes the final decision about the appropriateness of the postings.
We're striving towards a community where yearning is acceptable and forms the crucible for fragility.
