"Post-cancellation KB community care & dreaming" Zoom - Today Sunday 22.03 @18:30
I'm feeling the void and would like to come together online with you - the community of doers, thinkers and (Talk)ers.
1) to share and process together this very unusual moment now that we had to halt everything.
2) to exchange wild and nutty dreams and ideas about how KB could possibly look after we have digested the virus and can gather again!
A zoomy thing this Sunday (22.03) evening! Possibly 18:30ish, open to options! Would you join?

I would love to.. I love the idea but I have event coordination team meeting. Maybe we manage to dial in afterwards ♥️

Would be great if it were after the ECT, but either way I'm in. I've got Zoom on my tablet already...

It might be messy, I'm hosting for the first time :p
Love - poke your fellow Kiezburners to join!
P.S. I am flexible with time - so if a later meeting, after the core gathering, if still happening, is desired, we can also do that! Let me know. x

Meditation from yesterday. Read it each other, or call me, and I'll read it to you <3
(adapted from Waldo's Talk meditation)
Sit comfortably
And focus on your breathing
Allow yourself to be here, fully, in this moment
Feel the gravity slowly impact your eyelids
And close your eyes
Gradually
Let the health scare of the default world fade from your awareness
If you find your mind wandering to empty supermarket shelves
Or the incoming lockdown
Don't let it concern you
Just acknowledge that this too shall pass
Gently and tenderly
Wrap your arms around your own body
You are here now
In this warm and cosy self-cuddle puddle
Enjoying your inner stillness
The hysteria of the media can't get under your skin anymore
Take a deep breath in
And breathe out
Take a deep breath in
And say "it's all good"
Just feel the fucking virus float away...
Take deep, loud breaths
Breathe in health
Breathe out corona
Breathe in hope
Breathe out fear
Breathe in civic responsibility,
Breathe out selfish bastards hoarding toilet paper
Allow your breathing to discover its own self-reliant, radically self-expressing pace...
In this inner world of tranquil, do not think of a whole summer without burning
Instead, imagine yourself approaching a friendly crowd of kind, loving, colourful blinky burners
They are joyfully waving at you
And calling you by your Playa name
Now Picture yourself joining this friendly crowd of kind, loving, colourful, blinky burners
Hear the soundtrack of your favourite burner music - at a volume that pleases you.
Your heart is full of joy,
Your heart is full of love,
Your heart is at peace,
You are not alone,
We are all here for each other.
If your thoughts drift to thoughts of loneliness and quarantine
Bring your attention right back to the warmth of our community
If your thoughts drift to a Kiez-burn-less summer
Bring your attention back to our creativity and ability to bounce back
With each breath you take
Feel your body saying we'll burn again
With each breath you take
Feel your body receiving consensual hugs again
Visualise your frustration at not being able to plan ANYTHING right now
Then take a deep breath in
And say "fuck that, I'm living total Immediacy"
Take a moment to appreciate the carelessness of burns past and remember how lucky you are to have that colourful, crazy and so loving chaos in your life
You are weightless, timeless, without beginning or end
Completely relaxed and free of stress
And as you slowly open your eyes
Take a deep breath in and say "alles wird gut"
Take another deep breathe in and say "we shall burn again"

We could make a Corona Dreams Platform where Burners can show the different activities that are taking place + maybe even link with donations?

@Franzi when does the ECT meeting end? would you like us to hold this after, so that event coordination peeps can join and process with us?

ooooh @waldo I could adapt your written meditation to current times <3
