Three more cheers! This is another insightful and warmly inviting piece. The classroom teacher in me particularly responded to the assigned day of intentional regeneration. It did a thing that's an important part of good teaching—getting people to experience themselves and their world in new ways. And you did it in a way that approaches people as full human beings. A lot of class time needs to be a kind of role-playing, the instructor taking the role of "instructor" and the students being "students". That's basically good, but everyone is better off if there are times when roles get set aside, and people can be the people they are. What you did sounds terrific in that way.
This is lovely! Somehow I always get really into the fall equinox and winter solstice and get too busy to observe the summer solstice. Maybe I will put these dates on my calendar with all the other important stuff next year.
I've been thinking a lot about what we buy, use, and throw away as I'm having a baby in a couple months. (Also my phone's speaker isn't working and...does that mean I just have to get a new one???) I just wrote about the baby dilemma on my Substack - which is behind a pay wall as I'm figuring out how to keep my writing regenerative - but I'd be glad to send the free link to anyone who's interested 😊
