2021 the Year of ...![]() Well for me personally, it is about healing, having had health concerns and losing my Father in 2020 (not Covid related). I have made some major changes in my life to find a more balanced approach to life and living. Life is always changing and always has since our ancestors at some point in our history were nomadic. Had they continued to move, staying connected with nature and local environments we may not be suffering as much as we are now, as a society and community. Once we stayed put and began changing our natural environment, we began to disconnect slowly but surely from life’s cycles, tuning out of the seasons, cycles of the moon, sunrise, and sunsets, etc. Last year and unfortunately as the restrictions continue, we have seen people flock to nature. Why is that? Could it be that we feel at home in nature, as nature is at peace and shows us unconditional love (no matter if we harm her, she continues to generate life). This year should really be about healing as we transition from a system of dominance over nature to a world reconnected with nature. As we heal from a transactional way of interacting with one another and our environment to a relational way of interacting with one another and our local environment. Seeing the spirits of ancestors as our First Australians do, in our large old growth trees, in our mountains, waterways and with our wildlife. Connecting us deeply with life, breath, sustaining us with healthy soils/earth, water, and foods. We are so lucky living on the Central Coast as we are surrounded by the best nature has to offer. But with that privilege comes a responsibility to protect and look after her as she does us and maybe time to repay the unconditional love. Join us in 2021. Hale Adasal CEN Chairwoman |
