“Flourishing and resilience are closely connected. Both voice a call for adaptation to the ebb and flow of events. They encourage us to be creative in generating resources. They urge us to shift perspectives, especially from victimisation to empowerment, and from power to humility.” - Yuria Celidwen

Dipping into this gorgeous collection of new writing by people working on the land in the UK. It’s absolutely fascinating, and important. We all eat, so we all need to understand these challenges (IMO) and can be inspired by these stories of resistance, determination and regenerative approaches.

Next month for me is full of adventures by train in Europe. I’m looking for book recommendations to add to my Kobo reader library.
I just made a start with these.
What would you recommend?

I love the conversations, provocations and different perspectives which we share as collaborators in creative work with communities of many beings. It also brings joy to discover the many and new ways that we are each documenting, holding solo and collectively gathered observations and reflections.

It feels as though the work is moving in a healthy direction when it involves Dudley People’s School for Climate Justice collaborators gathering in an abundant permaculture garden in the heart of Dudley borough 💚 🧅🧄🥕🥬🫛

I’ve decided that in support of becoming a Nature Connected Organisation, I might try to add nature notes to all meeting notes. Just had a finance check-in with our treasurer, this time of year I pester him for duckling news and pics, as he lives on a barge. Sad news for this little family though 🦆😢

I recently helped out a friend with Notion as she’s using it for her herbalism course. Today I was gifted a herbal tea blend called Notion Potion 💕💕💕

What a great book to have started this year’s reading with. I loved the work of each of the protagonists; art that I can’t describe, tech, and community resistance. Spanning times in my memory and yet to come, this is a really fascinating story.

I watched Nickel Boys last night too. I’ve just been looking up a bit about the novel it’s based on. I like this from the author. Feels familiar!

The week between family Christmas time and return to work feels like a fleeting moment each year in which I have head space to learn, research and make new commitments / tweaks to what I eat, what I might grow etc. I’m trying Veganuary again, and may share recipes I enjoy.

I hosted it in winter 2021.
I'm not sure why we haven't done it since. I think in winter 2022 everything felt precarious and we were just exhausted.

It’s Dudley Creates Winter Gathering day!
I’m so looking forward to our High Street lab space being animated with bubbling conversation and curiosity about what local people have been doing and learning this year through projects made possible by our collaborations.

The people I love the most in my life are brilliant at being silly, intentionally create the conditions for being silly and never miss an opportunity to be silly. I can forget to be silly, which is why they delight me so much 😍
