urban homesteading


Urban homesteading is a growing movement in this country, part of the global re-imagining of culture on the other side of governmental indifference and corporate greed. Concerned about climate change and peak oil? Thinking about localizing your food sources? Wondering how to manage water, waste and energy better? Interested in community building and local self-reliance? Looking for resources for taking care of yourself while taking care of the world?
This book will answer these questions and provides an inspirational how-to and why-to for the urban homesteading movement. Richly illustrated with drawings and photographs, and featuring interviews with homesteaders “on the ground”, Urban Homesteading will give you an introduction to urban permaculture, creating a personal sustainability plan for yourself and your neighborhood, and how-tos on the basics of do-it-yourself ecological living in the city. - http://urban-homesteading.org

Reclaiming the Body

"Learning to listen deeply to the body is key. Trauma survivors often ignore their body’s cues when sensations and emotions become overwhelming, and instead push through the experience without paying attention to what’s really going on. Trauma-sensitive teachers remind students to listen to their own needs and their own bodies, to move away from reacting to external expectations, and toward internal listening and guidance. Trauma leaves people powerless, so developing the ability to consciously decide when to stop or when to go deeper into a pose is an essential part of the healing process."  https://kripalu.org/resources/yoga-and-trauma-reclaiming-body

Back to work

A wrestler's power, a boxer's stamina, a martial artist's control, a dancer's grace, a yogi's surrender, an artist's creativity, a scientist's scrutiny, an innovator's vision, a child's exuberance, an elder's wisdom, a monk's serenity, a priest's piety, a brother's keeper. These are all to which I strive. Back to work. -  Scott Sonnon
