A look back: Earth Day 2023 in the SEED
Thank you all who made this Day such a success! This was a great celebration of all the things that make life on Earth a beautiful experience.
Community, music, earth wisdom, creativity, green plants and growth, rain from the sky, sunny faces in raincoats, nourishing foods to make our bellies happy, weaving the threads of fabric to strengthen the community.
We had amazing musicians with us, earth regenerators, visionaries, doers, makers, lovers, mothers and fathers, children and grand parents, gathering on the green field, exploring the free gifts of abundance, (free store), fixing bikes (hub city cycle), seeing the neighborhood in the global context and the context of the adaptive cycles of (social and ecosystems).

AND THE HORSETAIL CAN BREATHE AGAIN…
For Earth Day the Cat Stream received a newly woodchipped maintenance access trail, stairs and a removal of blackberry bushes. The horsetail seems to be really happy about this. Let’s see how well it will do with the newly made sun spot.
Thank you to everyone who hosted and joined this work party!

The Adaptive Cyle
Below: “The Adaptive Cycle” based on Wahl and Holling was presented at the SEED COmmunity Projects Hub to offer a perspective of how our life experiences constantly go through endless cycles of growth, conservation, crisis (release into chaos), reorganization, growth etc. – our emotional states, our relationships, our communities… ideally these cycles takes place soon and in smaller loops of renewal to avoid a big collapse of an organization, society, group, institution etc.

Thank you everyone who made this possible!
Thank you to Shelby and Les for hosting the work parties in the food forest.
Next day the Cat Stream work party continued with mulching the paths and gathering area. Three people hanging out by the bridge spontaneously helped us distribute the wood chips. (Photo by Jenni Ottilie Keppler)
