Wow, what a resource here. Thank you!

“Dance in community: polka, square dance, waltz, Virginia reel” — my uncle introduced me to contra! Do you have that there? It’s like square dancing but to bluegrass-style music. SO fun.

Gather fruit under trees. This alone saved me through the last 5 years. Many fruit trees go ungathered, I have found if I ask, most folks are glad to let me glean some of their fruit. If they are nice, I bring them wine.

also, 4 hours of Bruegal the Elder....I found this wonderful. https://youtu.be/9pC4msT8h6Y?si=fhpyOF4meKoIZYqB

This post is PACKED. Could bookmark it as one that captures the aim and ethos of your work while also including other people’s wonderful suggestions. Thank you for sorting through and compiling all of this. I’m definitely going to reference it for ideas as I continue to make choices about living intentionally.
