There is a very cool exhibit on at The Hearth Gallery on Bowen Island, a virtual reality experience called "Texada." The show features a 17 minute documentary VR film about time, rock, islands and our place in it all. It's immersive and absorbing not just becasue of the medium, but also the story, a meditation on this small moment in time in the context of the biggest cycles of time that we are a part of.

I’ve had many conversations lately with friends and colleagues about the long term cost of isolation that is exacerbated by the ease of online connection. But, as folks who know my complexity work will know, connections and exchanges are two different things. I can engage in all kinds of people and bits and digital entities now. But why then are we more lonely than ever before?

This is what our inlet looks like these days. Grey, wet, cold, and lovely. Fridays are for me. Since I turned 55 a couple of years ago, I've set aside Fridays for - whatever. Since my ADHD diagnosis last year, I've called Friday my ADHD day where I can just let my mind carry me into an unplanned day. Sometimes that means reading, sometimes it means spending the day outside, doing errands, seeing friends, playing music...lots of options.

Local Bowen Island businesses tucking into dialogue on the circular economy last night. Almost through a really busy month of travel and work which has been punctuated by some local volunteer work here on Bowen Island. It's always a tricky thing, to work as a facilitator in one's own home town, but I think it's important to do especially as I spend a lot of time coaching and supporting others to do so.

No, not a a post about facilitation tactics, just some notes on questions in different contexts: business, football and life hacks. Like these job interview questions from readers of The Economist. Some of these are truly anodyne, but some are interesting. And it gives you some insight into what an elite level job interview looks like (washing dishes at the CEO's cabin?).

I cant't wait to see this film. Basketball is an essential part of the culture of the Indigenous northwest coast of British Columbia. Along with the Tribal Journeys events it is one of the most significant modern day gatherings of coastal tribal peoples and has been responsible in no small way for the resurgence in power and connection among these Nations.

We all won. It was amazing to watch the Vancouver Rise win the NSL Playoff Championship last night and be crowned the first ever champions of professional women's soccer in Canada. The Cup Final was an incredible occasion. AFC Toronto, the league champions, came into the match as favourites, having relatively cruised their way through the semi final against Montreal and with a winning record over Vancouver.
