Setting up sensory walks around the lavender beds in our ecovillage. The gentle scent of lavender, the texture of the path underfoot, and the sounds of nature combine to create an extra grounding experience—perfect for people visiting for a moment of calm and connection with nature. 🟣

Finally assembled a growing chair. Still figuring out what type of wood it is😅 Something hard, though.

Doing exercises like writing “100 gratitudes” or emptying my mind on paper felt difficult. There was resistance I couldn’t explain. Then I discovered calligraphy. A pen, ink, and a blank page… It changed expirience completely And became one more thing that helps me stay sane.

Feels like winter came back for a few days. But it also brought back my winter “TV.” Really glad we managed to install a chimney — I’ve been spending many evenings watching the fire and sipping warm tea. Wishing everyone a warm and cosy day 🤍

Today I’m finally crossing off a task that has been on my checklist for the last six months (maybe more😅): taking a garbage bag with me on my morning walks. Since there are almost no people in my part of the village, yet the bag filled up pretty fast. Good day so far🙂

Became a partnership ambassador for the community of community managers. Community manager is a relatively new phenomenon in Ukraine. It’s always interesting to discover that roles you’ve had for a long time have a name🙂 There’s even a possibility that I could be called community architecture...

Excited.Made a post on a new page of a new solarpunk project. With this picture. Love it because it makes me think about my family. Artwork by Karl Schulschenk #solarpunk

My favourite side effect of living close to nature is learning to make things for yourself. Yes, sometimes ugly, but always practical)

Getting back to scheduling my days myself feels really nice. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back to 8–5 again.

Also have an idea to tell about my way to ecovillage life.But doesn't know if it makes sense to do here

Leaving a position in the local ecovillage network, where I worked for more than 3 years, and an identification crisis helped me to understand fields(topics) that are deeply interesting to me, despite my roles. That would be communities, ecovillages, facilitation, fundraising, charity and NGO`s

10 years without social media. I wasn’t in a cave or on a remote island 🙂 I just didn’t feel I had anything worth posting — or any urge to share my life online. Inspired by @earthbasedsoul.bsky.social and the Solarpunk 2050 Europe collective, I’m here. I wonder what I’ve got myself into 🤔
