Yes, yes.
Yes, yes!
Put out the ambience and the people will come; put big screen TVs, inflatable mattresses, art supplies, and colorful characters on the beach and the number of those characters will increase! This was proven at our March gathering.
Amidst the warmth and waves of a SoCal spring day, our warm community saw Christian missionaries, Qigong martial artists, neuroscientists, philosophical agnostics, and 20+ other peeps gather to collaborate on our mutual humanity!
Around fire, music, and art, entrepreneurial and performing art ventures were dreamed up. And we aren't the only dreamers in the neighborhood: Grayson's Snapchat video of our gathering got 250+ local views within 12 hours. We're on fire, and it's just a matter of time til SoCal is set ablaze!
Embracing the power of ritual, we partook of a tea that was decades old in a traditional Chinese ceremony. Energetical infusions, whether placebo or otherwise, caused tangible effects. This was followed by a cake for Marco's birthday, mental health collaboration, and a guided session of Qigong as people arrived to experience the pending beaching of thousands of little fish. The sense that Oceanside beaches are the destination of the rising tide apparently transcends species! And the tide is coming in again, guided in her rhythms by the Full Moon of 4/20, at which we will continue the mutual adventure, orchestrating communal art projects that physically communicate deep metaphorical truths about our modes of perception.
This is your community in your spacetime coordinates. Please join your community for the next gathering as we continue to take ownership of our mutual Reality. The next event will be on Saturday 4/20 at the fire-pits by the Oceanside Pier. Feel free to email telljoshstuff@gmail.com for more information or collaborative suggestions.
