I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
One idea that I've had for a while now, and that inspires and motivates me quite a lot, is getting together with fellow Hivers that have a desire, willingness, and capacity to be Hive mentors, teachers, and tutors for Blockchain newcomers (and old-timers who would like to go deeper), to create, develop, run, and manage a Hive educational organization along the lines of a school. Personally, I've learned a huge amount about the entire Hive Blockchain Ecosystem in my 3+ years here, so I have a lot to share, and I love assisting, helping, and supporting others on their Hive journeys, which is something that I find myself doing very often anyway, so helping to create a Hive School feels very appropriate to me.
I'm thinking that it could be a multi-level training nexus for various ongoing types of education into Hive, what makes it so exceptional, its challenges and growth-points, the multitudinous ways to generate income (including passive income), and how to grow and succeed on this amazing Blockchain. I'd like to see classes and courses on every aspect of the Hive Ecosystems, starting at the total newbie level, and moving in a stepwise fashion all the way up to the point of being able to begin mentoring, teaching, and tutoring others.
And on the topic of mentors, teachers, and tutors, each type of educator and educator framework would have a significant role to play in such a school. Mentors are those that would take people under their wing, like a buddie or an each-one-teach-one system, for an extended period of time, to offer help, support, advise, suggestions, and a daily friendly interface with the Blockchain. Teachers would be those who teach regular and ongoing scheduled courses and classes at different levels of proficiency. Tutors would be those who offer short-term or long-term personal ongoing tutoring on specific and focused topics of interest. Of course, one individual could indeed fill multiple roles, depending on willingness, availability, knowledge, ability, and the like.
Since newcomers often have few to no Hive assets or resources, at least the majority of what the Hive School offers would need to be free, so as to make it as open and accessible to as many people as possible. There could, of course, also be paid advanced classes and courses. I do think that those offering their time, care, and energy to fill the multiple teaching roles should be compensated in some good way, and also that what they would receive should be based on how they are rated by students.
I don't yet have any idea about how such a Hive School would be funded, to pay the mentors, teachers, and tutors, and to pay developers and cover maintenance costs if a website is involved. Assorted curicula would also need to be created and updated over time. This is quite an undertaking, and this is only the idea stage, but this excites me. My MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Meta-Project with @borniet might be able to tie in here somewhere. We shall see. If a Hive School sounds interesting to you, let me know in the comments, and let's talk about it.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, just after 1PM. There was a Thanksgiving tree-planting scheduled for 2PM, and I had to dig one more planting hole, so I focused on that first. Thankfully it didn't take me long, so I was able to fit in some photography before the first planting. We planted four different food plants, a lychee, a rainforest plum, a Dwarf coconut palm, and one of my Mysore blackberries that I had propagated, at various points on the property. When the tree-planting was completed, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, then I made myself a little food (ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, spicy salsa, sea salt, and cheese), which I took up to the Flow House to eat, while I did some token management. There was a community Thanksgiving meal down at Tutu's at 5:30PM, which I attended for a short time, before heading back to the Flow House, to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 349 - Mexican Tree Daisy Shadows, and to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Notifications in Ecency were borked again, with only a small number showinging, so once I got through those, I went onto Engage to get the rest that were missed, and boy oh boy were there a lot. I found several comments and replies from 4 days back, so it took me quite a while to get through what I did, and in the end I was still not able to finish before I had to go to bed around 12:15AM, still 5 hours behind. Sadly I did not sleep well, walking up around 5:30AM, and unable to sleep, I did some token management, I started on this post, and then I went back to sleep just after 7:15AM, waking up again a little after 9:15AM, getting out of bed, making the bed, and then falling back on the bed to rest with my eyes closeed for just a few more minutes. I finally got up little after 9:30PM to go milk the cow with Jo. That took a little longer than usual, and as soon as we were done, I made my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to first take more photos for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next edition of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2024 Life Goals
1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do.
2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness.
3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others.
4.) Dance regularly again.
5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again.
6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.
7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.
9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships.
10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice.
11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.
