HUMAN IS WHAT WE ARE

HUMAN IS WHAT WE ARE IS A VIRTUAL WRITING ADVENTURE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ALL BEINGS THROUGH THE CONTINUED INTENSITY AND WONDER OF THIS EVER-CHANGING TIME IN THE COLLECTIVE. H.I.W.W.A. (AS IT’S AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN) ALSO HELPS RE-ACTIVATE (OR IN SOME CASES, IMPLEMENT) THE PRACTICE OF A REGULAR WRITING RITUAL—OTHERWISE KNOWN AS RADICAL SELF-CARE AND DEVOTION—BOTH NECESSARY FOR ANY REVOLUTION. BY DEDICATING ATTENTION TO THE GROWTH OF SUPPORTIVE PRACTICES (SUCH AS WRITING) WE CONTINUE TO LEARN, DECONSTRUCT AND REBUILD THE FOUNDATION OF OUR LOVE. THIS GENERATIVE PROGRAM RUNS A FEW TIMES A YEAR AND EACH CYCLE IS UNIQUE TO ITSELF IN TERMS OF THEME, LENGTH AND CONTENT. THE MISSIVES ARE DELIVERED DAILY INTO YOUR INBOX AND ARE PACKED WITH COSMIC MUSINGS AND HEART-INSPIRED PROMPTS CREATED TO ACTIVATE THE MEDICINE MATRIX OF YOUR OWN HEART. THE ISOLATION MANY CONNECTED WITH THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC OFFERED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD ANOTHER LAYER, SO EVERY EDITION IS NOW ACCOMPANIED BY TOTALLY OPTIONAL (AND DEEPLY ENCOURAGED) LIVE GROUP GATHERINGS VIA THE MAGIC OF ZOOM. SOMETIMES, WE WRITE TWENTY-ONE DAYS, THEN MAYBE THIRTY—ALL THE WAY UP TO FORTY AND FIFTY! ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IS THAT NOBODY (INCLUDING YOU!) HAS TO IDENTIFY AS A WRITER TO PARTICIPATE: NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY AND ANYTHING YOU CREATE IS FOR YOU. EVERYTHING (INCLUDING US) IS ALWAYS CHANGING, ALWAYS HEALING AND WHAT REMAINS IS THE ROMANCE BETWEEN THE PEN AND THE PAGE.
