Connected Individual
A Field Guide to Noticing the Not-So-Noticeable
An invitation to notice what is already happening—and discover what becomes possible when you meet it with greater resolution.
A Field Guide is taking shape.
Connected Individual is becoming a field guide rather than a manual—a collection of observations, stories, questions and ways of seeing gathered through lived experience.
Some of its pathways are already well worn; others are still being discovered.
This isn't a guide to interpreting everyone and everything.
It begins with developing your own capacity for noticing any one thing.
Information can give you a map.
Contemplation helps you learn the terrain.
Participation is where you discover what the map couldn't tell you.
A Sneak Peak Into The Field:
~ The Field Garden ~
Orientation, perception, language, pattern and the beginnings of learning to read what is already happening.
~ The Lighthouse Café ~
Context, perspective, weather, navigation and finding a steadier relationship with what life brings.
~ The Studio & Orchard ~
Practice, integration, creativity, cross-pollination and carrying what you've discovered back into life.
Wholistified Living doesn't ask you to believe that everything means something.
Sometimes it simply means becoming curious about what you may not have noticed yet.
Sometimes that begins with a conversation.
Sometimes a relationship.
Sometimes a recurring pattern.
Sometimes a pain the neck, a room that feels different, a phrase you keep using, or a situation that somehow keeps arriving in another form.
Sometimes one word with multiple layers that gets your attention.
This is Field Literacy:
— learning to recognize the terrain you're already in, notice what may be communicating within it, and participate with greater resolution.
Discover greater accuracy, not necessarily greater effort.
Notice how interpretation changes participation.
Wonder what else might be true here?
