Soul on Deck

"Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach...


One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. A soul on deck shines like gold in dark times... struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it."

-- Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I'm down!

Hey Azul, I would love to backpack the lost coast with you! I'm taking a lot of summer classes though (chemistry and biology, both sessions) and it won't be too easy for me to miss them. So for me, the week before fall quarter starts would be good. I end summer session on September 12th and start the 22nd. I'm pretty sure this date would be OK for quarter system people. let me know what you think!

Belizers!

Homies! I miss you so effing much! I was just looking at pics from the trip and got all nostalgic...we really need a reunion soon! So I would really like to make a trip up to Humboldt/Lost Coast some time this summer. What are everyone's summer plans? Can we block out like a week for eachother to get together and reunite and chill in the forest? I'm taking a couple summer classes, but I would be more than down to ditch them and see you guys!

Hello you beauiful people! Just trying out this posting thing on the blogging thing. I miss you all and the forest terribly and I think about you everyday since our trip. I hope everybody is doing well. Let me know what you think about the pictures/videos. Sorry about the wierd noise throughout the videos, it's the camera focusing and I don't know how to fix it.

Check out the long awaited Can Can Videos

I actually haven't checked them out yet but I believe she's got pics and a couple videos or more. We lost one of my botfly extractions, oh well, gee wiz, I don't know how much of those I want to relive anyway. I'm going to check them out after I post them though. So here they are:

I hope the Whole Earth Festival was as wonderful and beautiful as it sounds and know that I would, without a doubt had been there if it had not been for the minor formality of being all the way out here on the east coast. Had a good mother's day though and loved the time spent with the most special person in my life that I've been living without for quite a while.
Much love

Whole Earth Festival THIS WEEKEND!

Hello, beautiful people! I hope everyone is doing beautifully.

Just to remind everyone, the Whole Earth Festival is happening in Davis this fri/sat/sun, and anyone interested is welcome to camp out at my dome. I wil be here all of Friday and Sunday, but have a field trip Saturday for a California plant communities class (I should be back in the early evening), and there will certainly be things to do during the day regardless of my absence. Friday evening there will be poi spinning (aka fire dancing), and sunday there is the sustainable circus performance. There are a number of different music/dance performances, + booths of arts/crafts/etc that will be up all weekend, and if nothing else, it's a great chance to chill out and people-watch.

Feel free to contact me, I'd love to hear from you!

It looks as though Indie and Gibnut will be headed up on Friday evening, and I hope I get to see more of you!

ps. if you do come, be prepared for central valley heat... it's been cooking up here as of late.


in the spirit...

love, ceiba

Hey Giddens, I'm stoked you love that book too. It's definitely one of my favorites, it feels like you're able to go on this epic journey along with her. I love how Elizabeth can relate to anybody and have a really good time meeting new people, her story is sooo heart wrenching and beautiful. Yeah, I'm back east trying to find a job that will actually rake in the big bucks for me, it's been quite a process. In the mean time I'm serving, making enough to get by, visiting/living with my sister, seeing/visiting family and friends and doing my best to make the best out of this limbo period I'm in. How are u, how's sc, the weather, school, and life and stuff. I miss you girls like the dickens and think about you often!
