Co-creation and Mythmaking

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I recently found some quite inspiring videos from the Burning Man Festival. Even more inspiring was the their background. To me this is a quite special and beautiful way of communicating new and old insights: Mythmaker is about the ancient arts of storytelling, about theatre and circus and about sustainable living.

The mission of Mythmaker: To create, integrate and perform a new cultural mythology. To live and inspire a new dream, which empowers the individual, community and culture to co-create a sustainable future for all life.

I like their commitment and I like their creativeness. I personally would like to communicate the demystification of one or the other myth, but that’s a question of content, I guess…

Art meets Ecology meets People: The Global Oneness Project

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Check them out!

The Global Oneness Project is a web-based video initiative exploring how the simple notion of oneness can be lived in our increasingly complex world.

We’re traveling the globe interviewing creative and courageous people who base their lives and work on the fundamental understanding that we are all connected and thus bear great responsibility for each other and our shared world. Our living library of films is available for free from our website or on DVD for events and educational use.

We are committed to documenting what is being born during this time of planetwide transformation. While we are confronted with unmistakable signs that our current way of life is no longer sustainable, inspiring and innovative people and programs are blossoming in all areas of our collective society. From a pay-it-forward café in Ahmedabad, to a youth program that brings African wisdom to Los Angeles, from the General Secretary of the Andean Nations, to the spiritual guardian of Ayers Rock, our film subjects live and work with many of the following values, attitudes, and beliefs:

* We are responsible to each other, the earth, and future generations.
* There are enough resources for us all, if we share.
* Free exchanges of information allow for greater, collective creative potential.
* Love, care and compassion have the power to transform the fabric of society.

We hope that by showing the diverse ways oneness is expressed—in the fields of sustainability, conflict resolution, spirituality, art, economics, indigenous culture, and social justice—others will be inspired to create solutions to personal and community challenges from their own lived understanding of oneness.

Learning from a potato perspective

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

potatoperspectiveSee, the thing is: I like gathering things I consider beautiful. These ‘things’ can be objects or images I saw, thoughts I found, ideas, activities, whatever. And then I like to go and share what I find…This project by Ă…sa Sonjasdotter is many things at the same time: It is about art and activism, about self-empowerment, about agriculture (past and future), about the beauty of diversity, about the beauty of people, about questions of sustainable living and cultivating, about the preservation of indigenous knowledge and culture, about europe and regulations, about personal experience, engagement and learning…you name it.

I find her work with this project deeply inspiring, educational and beautiful.

Now you take a look (www.potatoperspective.org).
