Looking everywhere for the recording from yesterday to no avail - on Liminal, on Hylo, on email, etc. Please send it as an email and make it really easy to access going forward.
Hmm. I am excited to hear how this event goes. Thankyou for putting such a gathering together! I am a bit weary of this rising trend however to go "wild" as Mr. Bendell calls it. I wonder, did he ask the Balinese people and land spirits permission before he flexed his privilege and moved there with all the other beautiful uber spiritualized, ice bath obsessed, Burning Man bred digital nomads? Does he speak the local language? How is he going about "teaching" permaculture to the locals? This sounds a bit too close to white savior BS to me. I am sure he has good intent, just like Michael Franti and all the other gorgeous cacao drinking warriors who have "empowered themselves" to relocate to beautiful places like Ko Phangan and Bali. But how is this not yet another form of colonization? Seems better to stay put, grow roots and help heal the world around you, right where you are. It's one thing to be invited somewhere, to marry into a place, on its terms, but I seldom see this in this context. It usually winds up being another gentrification game with outsiders telling the locals how to be better, without learning to see the world from their eyes. But what do I know? Just curious. I'm sure Jem has a lot to offer Bali. https://gregorypettys.substack.com/

What does wild look like to you. I’ll watch the video later
Thank you, Daniel. I'm looking forward to hearing Jem's thoughts and "going wild!"
