The truck has two leaks in the air system, one tiny leak in a fuel tank, a big hole in the exhaust, and another stone in the windscreen. But here we are.
We’re looking forward to share all our experiences with you. The good, the bad and the ugly. But that won’t be here, it’s going to continue on Patreon. Because on Patreon we can share our video’s of our moments with the trees and we can start our experiment. We stay for the winter in Fairbanks, Alaska to find work and kick-start the book Embodying Reality and our Patreon.
Patreon is a paid content platform, where we offer different monthly subscriptions and with each one you get different content. On Patreon we’ll start to experiment with reconnecting with life through trees by online video’s. “What?”
Yes. I understand the confusion, something new is always difficult to explain in old language. Saying we travel to the oldest trees and forests is kind of easy to recognise. People just nod as if they know what you’re talking about and that was enough, until now. It made people believe our journey is about trees and forests, but we’re not biologists. It is not about learning all the tree species and their latin names, or how to fight forests fires the best way. Although those are interesting pursuits also, ours is about reconnecting with life. Learning how to live as if we’re part of this planet.
As Casper describes in his book Embodying Reality, the acceleration for sustainability will come when we start working on our own paradigm, myth and ego. The root cause of our current unsustainable world is our paradigm, myth and ego and it should be on top of our priority list while working on a better world.
Our current paradigm makes us live as if reality is secondary to our imagined reality. As if we are separate from the planet and what we do to her. We even live as if we’re separate from our own bodies. A new paradigm will emerge when we start paying attention to real things. Like trees (or water, air, food, animals, materials, talents etc.).
Working on paradigms doesn’t work by trying to convince other people, or telling how it should be. It starts to works when we let reality lead our lives. If we start to listen to what the whole has to tell us.
It’s used to be called The Great Conversation. Where we learned from the world around us and adapted to it, instead of thinking up ideas and then work very hard to manipulate our environment for our own paradigm, myth and ego.
With old trees and forests we want to reignite The Great Conversation and help this unfolding new paradigm come into being. Trees are a gate to soil, water and the collective consciousness. All trees are great connectors. They take their time and take care of their environment. If you give them attention in an open, warm and receptive way, in return, they will show you who you are.
We want to open this to the world and make our experiences with the ancient trees accessible online. Using our fascinating capacities for intuition, imagination and empathy to have a telepathic experience and reconnect with life through the internet.
I know, it’s crazy. But, with energy work we both have experienced it is possible. To feel into somebody’s energy as if you’re standing next to them. So I’m confident it is also possible to have this energy exchange with an ancient tree on a video and reconnect with life from any internet connection.
As Monica has these deep experiences with the ocean and whales in particular. It’s very likely that traveling south down the pacific coast next year will be a lot about water also.
It is an experiment. Every video will be different and we’re eager to learn what works for you and what doesn’t. As you’re all the early pioneers in following us on Substack we opened all the first video’s with the trees up for the public on the Patreon. So you can watch them immediately without paying.
Hopefully see you there!
From Love.
Monica & Casper
ps. After some delays and turn arounds there is going to be an Embodying Reality paperback (and no eBook) available in a few days. More updates soon on Facebook or Instagram.
