Learning about "connections" and being connected as a vital part of our wellbeing journey has been very enlightening to me. It's ONE piece in our puzzle for figuring out what serves our own wellbeing.
To respect those members who don't have family connections, I'd like us to focus on Community Connections we have, how they're going and also ones we'd like to join in on. Hopefully we can encourage each other to jump into these and support each other with ongoing engagement in these groups.
Following on from hearing a quote "immunity is in the Community (connections)", this sparked reflection on my own life and how I can increase my participation in these for mine and others' wellbeing.
What Community groups are you curious about attending?
If you attend some already, which ones have been FUN or even good for you to belong to?
We may have never felt that we "fit in" anywhere... I want to challenge this belief.
Belonging is the opposite of fitting in.
Belonging requires us to BE who we are, whilst fitting in requires to change who we are. (Brene Brown not me! lol).
Maya Angelou said we belong everywhere and nowhere... so this is a shared human experience.
Let's DO IT BB!
Love EM

I'll go first!
I've researched a local Permaculture Group and been very excited to SEE how much this group has evolved since I was involved about 10-15y ago. SO MANY younger people involved now (or I'm just getting older hahaha).
The cost is around $20/ year.
Members can attend monthly meetings. Now held in Member's GARDENS! Yay.
They have a topic they're exploring together... the next one is Propagation.
They also have "Permablitzes" lol. Working in other peoples' garden for a few hours, lunch provided by the garden owner / custodian. These happen once a month. Once you attend TWO of these, you can ask for one in your garden too. They need to be chores focussed on Permaculture Principles. You also need to be prepared to serve lunch for all who attend.
They ALSO have a Craft Circle OMG!! Aimed at re-purposing materials, right up my alley there!
All sounds lovely to me!
I'm aiming to join soon, perhaps in January 2023 or even sooner.
Which Community Groups are you thinking about joining?
Onwards and UPwards peeps!
Love EM
