EsF Assembly 2018 Podcasts: 2. Building Community

In our second episode of EsF Assembly 2018 Podcasts “Building Community”, co-founder of the Lynedoch Ecovillage and Sustainability Institute Eve Annecke shares her journey to Lynedoch. Eve believes that we do not choose our place in the world, rather, we are chosen by a place, and turning our back on the place that we have been chosen by is turning our back on our soul. She accentuates the importance of connecting through speaking to one another, in a world where we tend to communicate via impersonal mediums which remove the personal human connection. Our experiences need to be taken seriously and each experience comes with validity. Eve speaks about the essence of being able to be in a place of stillness, where one can reflect on our elders, our dreams and perhaps draw the answers to bring about great change through the timelessness of being still. There is a need to create and honour stories of our time and place, focusing on the rhythm of spoken language and embracing our voices. What does it mean to be human? A question for all to give meditative thought to. This episode features two bonus tracks by Drum Café and our colleagues Sr Dorosella, Jovitha, Beth, Rose, Terry, Loise and Hillary uncovering passionate rhythms and serene melodies of Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.
