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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
In my post yesterday, I talked about how the leadership of the We Are Alive Tribe was officially transferred to the three core members that have kept the community alive for the last year, Rosyel, Ben, and myself. As we've been talking among ourselves on the past, present, and future state of the community, we're gaining clarity on what we need to do first, and the next steps that we need to take, to begin rebuilding our beloved Alive Tribe, piece by piece.
The ALIVE tipping bot, @youarealive, should be up and running again by the beginning of the week, if all goes well. We may be adding new features to the bot as well over time, like dual-tipping, and sending multiple different tokens as tips, among other nifty upgrades. We're also working on getting the @alive.chat daily activities started again soon, perhaps even by the beginning of the year.
Our intention is to decentralize the leadership and management of the We Are Alive Tribe, bringing in more of the community to help make the Alive Tribe great again, and even better than it was before. As a part of this decentralization process, the three core members, Rosyel (who kept them up until this point), Ben, and myself now steward the private keys to all 14 Alive Tribe accounts (sadly @thisisawesome is not among them), to make certain that they are well protected, and not somehow lost.
Another step that needs to be taken is to inventory and assess the layer-1 and layer-2 assets on all 14 accounts, so that we can best use and leverage them for the sustainability, benefit, and growth of the We Are Alive Tribe and its members. I'll likely begin that analysis over the next few days.
Since there are only a few of us that are presently undertaking the task of bringing the Alive Tribe back to life, we intend to begin with small, simple steps, so that we're able to create a solid foundation upon which to build, and then as more Hivers and Alive members come on board to be a part of the process, to expand our operations further. This really is an exciting time for the We Are Alive Tribe, and you have my word that I will do my absolute best to help create something truly exceptional for all of us.
Yesterday, Friday, was mostly a rest day for me after the women's retreat (where I was doing bodywork), even though I did milk the cow and collect cow food for the next morning. I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little before 1PM, earlier than usual, putting my focus first on photography for these posts. It was gloriously sunny all day long, so I ended up taking quite a lot of photos, which you'll soon see in these posts. Since it was a rest day, I took two lovely walks down our jungle road, taking photos as I went, and I sunbathed in the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a while, which was wonderful. In the late afternoon, I helped Braja with a small task at her place, then I got my machete and went to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. When that was done, I took a shower, made myself some food in the Landing (eggs, ground beef, onions, tomatoes, and sea salt), and then with food and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I headed back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a horde of notifications once again, and as such, I was not able to get through them all before I had to stop to go to bed, after some quick token management, just after 12AM. I slept very well, super thankfully, waking up just before 7AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, and then getting out of bed just after 7:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow. Hans had to drop someone off at the airport, so I milked solo today, which went very smoothly. After milking, I returned to the Flow House to write and publish this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so a marvelous 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 put my attention on photography first, then straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and finally community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest later today, and the next version 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.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
