Gathering summer 2022

Wonderful two weeks and the first gathering at our residency @nothinginwalkingdistance .It was great to have everyone together and to experience collective life. While it was only a short time and now we are all back to our wild city lives the time spent seems valuable to me as a ritual of collectively. We can understand the importance of collectivity on a theoretical level but to believe in it we have to practice it once in a while. Rituals help us to emotionally connect to an idea and its meaning through practice: Spending abstract time together, working in the garden, creating, sharing knowledge, preparing food, sharing sleeping spaces and dreams, sharing feelings by making music, and supporting each other in difficult life questions all of this made me Feel collectivity and it's value beyond rational understanding. This feeling fosters once again my believe in the resistance against our individuals society. It was an inspiring and healing time thanks everyone for you being here!
