Spread The Love, Spread The Knowledge and Reignite Earth Wisdom. "What would you do for society if you had all the resources you needed?" TribeSteemUp Bi Weekly Question

in #tribesteemup6 years ago (edited)



This TribeSteemUp Question was put forward by @whatamidoing and I must say it has to be one of the most exciting ones we have had so far. Thank you brother for this awesome question, that gives us the opportunity to share our vision and to actual put that intention out there into the world. Here's to manifesting our dreams and making them a reality.

I do believe that I am already on my way to creating this reality. I am very happy with the life I have and also with the support project I am in the process of setting up. But the bigger dream, the one that will happen, but a little bit down the line, links in with what I am doing already. Our priorities change all the time and right now I am putting my time and energy into where it needs to go. But like I said the bigger vision, well that will need extra resources. Some that I have already and others that I am working on getting right now.

There are many things that I am passion about, to name just a few:
Birth Freedom, Birth Choice, Natural Birth.
Respect for Our Children.
Reconnecting to our natural self, to the natural cycles of life.
Spreading Earth Wisdom, helping others to remember that all that we need comes from this amazing earth.
I see it as my responsibility to be actively involved in my local community and also on this online global community. But our community really should grow all the time, we should aim to always reach out to others, no matter where they are. When I have a platform, I will use it, I will use my voice to help spread these messages, that many more have done before me and many continue to do now.



If I had all the resources available to me, what would I do for society. I have for a long time, had a dream to create a travelling community that puts on performances that advocate and promote Earth Healing, Earth Wisdom . Each one of us within that community, would have something that they really wish to promote amongst the communities they visit. This would be done through theatre, circus, music, puppet shows, storytelling and dance, in ways that are entertaining but also educational. The target audience would be children and we would aim to perform for them in their schools.

The idea is that people who are involved in creating the shows, speak different languages, so that we could approach schools in different countries and ask if we could put on a free show for the children. A show that we tell them, promotes environmental and health awareness. The shows that we create would incorporate the many lessons and learning of permaculture, herbal medicine, natural birth and all things earth based. The idea is to introduce these ideas to children, and do it in a place where their imaginations are normally restricted. By doing this, when they see these shows, they will remember them because we have brought a change to their normal structured day, we have set their imaginations free within that normal restrictive setting. They will be able to identify with us, because we will be using the language of play to communicate these ideas, in a natural way. Because all of these things should be seen as natural, should be occurring naturally.

There would then be a show for all ages in the evening. I believe it is really important to keep planting seeds of change in the minds of the many, that if we have the means to do so we should. In a way that brings enjoyment, in a way that will be remembered. I do not believe in lecturing people or being forceful in my views, that is part of the problem in the first place. People are constantly bombarded with images, with other influential people telling them what to do. If we want to change things we need to find a different approach in which to do so. And children are still forming their opinion of the world, forming their views, so lets show them a way that is natural, that is healthy for them and for the planet.

Lets begin to introduce the ideas of permaculture to children, lets educate them about the importance of the bees, the importance of healthy soil. Lets show them adults that see how important the earth is, because most children already get this, but they learn to forget it, through the conformity of schools and parents who have followed the same path prior to them. Lets show them you should not forget, show them that birth can happen out of hospital, introduce the idea through story, through song. Lets normalize birth. Words hold power, art holds power, both should be used to help empower others. Lets show children how to make seed bombs to feed the bees , lets plant trees at each school we visit. Lets plant those seeds, seeds of change.

We can hope to help change the minds of other adults, but sometimes we have to accept that some people are exactly where to wish to be in life. We need to accept them for who they are. Yet We each have a responsibility for how we choose to live our lives. So I choose to get back on the road but this time, I would travel with others. Travel and introduce the idea of an alternative way of living, plant that seed of change for in both children and adults. Plant it in a way that is both gentle and entertaining, that is non invasive and a reflection of what life really is like when we are in touch with our natural self.

So who out there in the Steemit World wants to join me?

I already have a few people in my community who are interested and have a background in music, art and circus. We all have something to offer, be it our ideas or our artistic skills. It is amazing what we can create when we all join forces and work together.

Beautifully said.
We as humans are one with nature and nature is our provider, our life.
I always get so inspired by your knowledge and your involvement to share and teach others about the true freedom and permaculture and all the human nature.
Thank you @trucklife-family

ah thank you @joalvarez, your feedback always brings a smile to my face xxx

You have such a deep vision and amazing idea for how to make it come alive - I admire you. The question inspires me - I might give it a shot this week as well even though I'm not 'part' of the community - I assume that's okay?

I hope and wish your dreams come true someday - by being here in this 'global' community you might just get a step closer to realizing it, I truly believe that. We will have no lack of resources just by being here - if all goes as planned <3

thank you @soyrosa please do answer it, it is a great question and open to everyone.
I am realizing more and more everyday the great potential we all have being connected on here and being involved in steemit, it is very exciting xx

IT IS, it really is. I'll meet a lot of Steemians in a month at SteemFest and I just can't even imagine the energy that will come together over there <3 I'll make a post for sure, thanks :-)

I can only imagine the buzz and energy that will surround it and be present. It is just not feasible for me with 3 kids, but one day xx I look forward to your post xxx

Yes - there will be many many more opportunities for sure :-)

I appreciate that respect for children is at the foundation of your vision for change. The sentiment of honoring children is so often repeated that it sometimes sounds almost trite to my ears, yet it's rare to see true respect for children and for childhood.

Fred Rogers embodied this in the way he brought meaningful dialogue to children and addressed their fears seriously, while encouraging their imaginations. I see a similar thread in your vision for a traveling show, with its messages of hope, respect, and empowerment in confronting real world issues.

Wishing you many blessings and the continued realization of your dream! :)

That is exactly the problem, so many talk about it and that is all, all that talk, just so that some actually believe it already exists or they are just sick of hearing about it. Children come to us full of awe and natural awareness and inner wisdom and that is taken from them when they watch t.v, go to school, when they engage with the majority of adults that they meet.
I do not know who Fred Rogers is, I do know that when children are allowed to be children, when they grow naturally they have no need for adults to bring any dialogue to them, it is such a shame that this is where we are at, adults having to show children how to be children. reminding them what it is to be present and mindful, reminding them what it is to be aware and connected with their natural world. Because they have had all of this already. This is something that greatly needs to be undone. Imagine the future we would have if it was. This is how change will happen, where it has to happen. We need to go back in order to move forward xx Thank you for your blessings xx

We need to accept them for who they are

So so true. The only people we can change is ourselves and the only thing we can do to help others is to promote self-work and encourage them. There is strength in the community and this world can reach great heights once we start taking responsibility for our actions. This was a lovely read, thank you for sharing your views with us, much love 💚

thank you lovely xx

beautiful idea! i cant say ill be able to hop on a place and join u.. but you got my full support!

thanks so much Alex, never say never xxx

Oh wow what a fantastic idea, children are the future with minds open I can imagine the impact it would have on them. Are you going to start a charitable organisation for it? Maybe people want to donate so you'll be able to pay to send the performance all over the world. I really wanted to do a project in schools in Indonesia about environmental issues and healthy eating and nutrition. Educating children in alternative ways of living is definately something I support and would want to be involved in but I'm not sure how consistent I can be at the moment but I'm open to contributing in some way!

Oh wow you do need to come visit me, I am just getting my women's collective off the ground, so this is something that will happen in the next few years, would love to have you on board for sure and look forward to getting to meet your lovely self xx

Yes that's amazing. I think we might be coming in the car with niina at the end of the month just for a week, so I'll see u then if it all goes to plan. Xx

YES! Earth wisdom is alive and well, yet it needs to be mainstream, needs to be the way we all relate to our Earth Mother and each other. Reciprocity, kindness, mindful awareness that we are all connected, and that we are children meant to play on the belly of our mother Earth. :)
