We spent most of our morning talking about connections and starting the "zoning" process. It was amazing to engage with all of these beautiful and creative entities to work through building the connections and placing elements in the zones that make the most sense. The funnest part is that there really is no right or wrong way that elements in a system connect. It is organic in nature and really reflects our needs and yields at any given time. There is a grand goal of working to build a system that functions most efficiently based on stacking functions and placing items in the areas where they are most effective. This is done for not only the needs and yields of new elements, but also of existing elements in the present and in the future.
Our class is so inspiring and the mornings activities built a new appreciation of the gifts and talents that we each can offer to the collective whole. It also sparks consciousness of opportunities to help someone who can benefit from your outputs. There are infinite possibilities for beneficial relationships in every system.
In the afternoon we finished zones and then spent a charged couple of hours interacting with the Grey's in their beautiful studio. It was great to hear their account of the connection with the land and to get a deeper understanding of how COSM arrived in this sacred space. Hearing from them really helps to anchor our work here and understand the intentions to a cosmic level.
We finished our classtime with a walk along the wisdom trail... There are so many levels of consciousness and wisdom on this land and I am soooo stoked to delve in to it and learn from the nature spirits here.
Dinner was delicious as always, again I am so grateful for the gift the volunteers here offer in providing us with the nourishment we need to continue our intensive journey here.
In the later evening we were gifted an amazing opportunity to interact with the Grey's on an intimate level in there studio for a Wisdom talk. The theme of the discussion was prayer and faith. It is really hard to put into words just what happened in that room, except that is was beautiful and it was in this moment we all really truly became a full on community. I also really felt connected into my path of self love and the recognition that I will continue working hard on this.
It was an amazing information packed, emotion packed high vibration day.
Today, day 4! It was super beautiful today, clear skies were shining on us! We spent almost the whole day outside and really got focused in and talked sectors and patterns. I think we all felt super charged from yesterday so we were really able to get things done today. Lunch time was spent at the compost blitzing out the path around it with a quick sheet mulch. Some biodynamic plants were put there recently, but the invasives are trying to take over, so some cardboard and leaf mulch should hopefully help. We will find out in September! It felt great to do a bit of labour, sometimes this is when I feel most connected to the earth.
The afternoon went by super fast, but at the same time it was almost like time stood still. We finished our day with 2 very special gifts. The first together in the nest sharing our thoughts about the course and our intentions for the next few months and secondly spending another super deep time with the Grey's where we really got some more concrete perspective on their visions for the land. It was super special and a great way to end the beginning of our journey at COSM.
I will get on a plane early tomorrow morning and head back to Calgary. I have said a prayer asking that I take the amazing lessons learned and wisdom integrated back home and share it with intention and love. I will not soon forget the brilliant experience of COSM and am super excited to continue contributing to the blessed land.
Please take some time to check out cosm.org and if you feel called to contribute or visit, do not hesitate to make the journey!
In epic gratitude and visionary love,

ReplyDeleteHey Kym...
ReplyDeleteGreat to see all these amazing photos... wow!!
NICE WORK on that symbol in design from nature. Would you mind if I made a symbol that was inspired by it and upgraded the design from nature card in the principles deck? I could use the other symbol for another card instead. That would be so sweet.
LOVE seeing all your awesome mapping work... great photos!
so many blessings
