Windfall from the Apple Book

These are a few drawings and some notes from a sketchbook long unopened that I frequented during my studies at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, the Auroville Community in Tamil Nadu, India, and later the Schumacher College in Devon, England. The first is a drawing of the Love Tree, with open-eyed radiance and  hearts above and below. Next, my attempt unentered in a challenge to design a logo for the Auroville Earth Day, and then a drawing that was made at some point I can’t recall along with the words “Following a Movement More Implicit”. And last, one of the many pages of notes that I took during my study of Holistic Science with Dr. Stephan Harding (please forgive the typos).

Words Weaving Waves – Awaking Dreaming Ivy

In this paper and series of photographs and drawings, I document the learning journey of creating a woven ivy art installation at the Schumacher College and consider this process in light of conversations and that which I learned of quantum physics, daoism, and cosomology during the Science, Spirit and Consciousness short course in late February. Some of the thinkers present in the work are Shantena Sabbadini, Amit Goswami, Chris Clarke, Albert Einstein, David Bohm, Ronald Brady, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu and my dear friend Adriana Puech.
