Stories and Viruses as tools for evolution - some thoughts.. more for grown-ups.

Stories and Viruses as tools for evolution - some thoughts.. more for grown-ups.

And as I write most of the globe is experiencing unprecedented times adjusting to life under the shadow of Covid19. 

Many of us are gathered with family in small groups again. 

We need to remember how to be connected with each other, and one of the shorted ways between two people is a story.

I think we also need to remember our connection to the planet, and our own creativity at this time too. 

It's our home. We need to feel part of it in order to care for it and adapt in creative ways to evolve.

It is my hope that this short course will help, in it's own small way.

Stories and viruses - as learning tools


Some of the diseases humans are now dealing with, like ebola and covid19, come from the wild edges of conciousnness... where humans meet animal and jungle.

As we struggle for space to co-exist we rub up against each other. The friction gives energy for new things.

New stories and ideas often come from somewhere untamed too - sometimes from the heat of necessity, or to solve a problem. 

Maybe the Covid19 virus is an idea spring out of the wild  to help us humans solve the vast problem of climate change?

Who knows! Time will tell, and I am sure there will see humans around telling a story about the 'year of the mask' in many years to come.
