I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #878 - The Rebirth and Re-Creation of The We Are Alive Tribe - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, December 22, 2024

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

With the transfer of leadership and ownership of the We Are Alive Tribe to Ben, Rosyel, and myself, we are at the cusp of a completely new era for the community, one that we desire and intend to make even better than it was previously. That's no small task, since the Alive Tribe under Erik's guidance was a very active, supportive, engaging, and thriving community. That it will be again, but even more so.

It's now time for us, both the new leadership of the Alive Tribe, and the loyal community, to re-vision and recreate this wonderful community, together. Erik's original vision is beautiful, and it will always be a part of what the Alive Tribe is, as it is the foundation upon which we shall build what is to come, and what is to come is up to us (the leadership and the community). What do you want the We Are Alive Tribe to be? What should its over-arching purpose and mission be? What sorts of activities would you like to see hosted?

Let's take threads from the first beautiful implementation of the Alive Tribe, and weave them together with new threads of inspiration, to co-create a resplendant gift for the Hive community, one that gives as much to the gifters as it does to those gifted. Creating Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) is the driving principle behind the MMB Meta-Project that I'm creating with @borniet, and that I feel should also be a core principle of the next incarnation of the Alive Tribe (it always has been in practice, so it's already in alignment). The We Are Alive Tribe has always celebrated the small pleasures, joys, and victories in the lives of our members, and we want to carry that forward as we build the community of our dreams. The Alive Tribe isn't simply about being alive (which is a great gift), but also growing and thriving in our lives, and on the Blockchain together.

Because we want to decentralize the leadership and management of the community, we need, and will be actively seeking, loyal members who would like to become a part of the team, to assist us, along with the community, in making the Alive Tribe something truly exceptional and special. At the moment, we have three core, key-holding members, though it is likely that this number will increase over time, as others with the same love, commitment, and dedication for the community, come into the fray.

This transfer of leadership wasn't just a change in leaders, but rather a transformation in how leadership is done in the community. A complete reinvention. While we will create the framework, we need the community to help to make it all happen, because this is now a community governed by the community. Let's co-create something exquisite, my friends!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, a bit later than usual, a little after 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for these posts, and a walk down our jungle road, with me taking photos as I went. With a good batch of shots taken, I spent some time sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, which was simply wonderful. Once I had my fill of sunlight, I went to the Landing to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then I went back to the Flow House for a short bit to do some important token management, before getting my machete to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With cow food done, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and made my way back to the Flow House, to get to my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything on Hive done by around 11:30PM, and after some token management, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed just a bit after 12AM. I slept reasonably well, waking up pretty early, around 5:30AM, doing a round of token management, writing and publishing My 134th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: Slower Growth, Interesting Developments, and 8,500 HP This Week!, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow. Since Daisy was so mellow and unconcerned, I decided to write and publish this post before milking. It's now just before 12:45PM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House to go milk the cow, and get on with the rest of my day and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
