Jen shared information about RenaissanceU that I didn’t know and encouraged me to explore it. This was helpful because i gained new insight and motivation. We also explored how to use Seeds on a local level through campaigns and also as a business. It was helpful for me to share my knowledge and experience because it brought awareness to where I can learn more and solidified current knowledge by way of explaining it. Through the conversation I was also able to get greater depth in feeling where my passion and skills naturally arise as a SEEDS ambassador.
Marco was immediately welcoming and inquisitive. We both shared back an forth going into short descriptions of our journeys through life and what we do going forward and our experiences with SEEDS.
It was amazing to meet a fellow Brazilian for Meet SEEDizens and discuss all the infinite possibilities we can co-create here in Brazil's reality (and maybe expand worldwide as well). Really hope we can continue connected in the future..
I loved connecting with Laurie. She told me about her life in Zimbabwe, her work in permaculture and applying those principles to other aspects in life. I have never been able to visit Africa and it was so inspiring hearing Laurie share about the beauty of the nature, the friendliness of the people but also about how unexpected and adventurous life can sometimes be over there.
We contected on themes about community building and shared our personal journeys around regeneration and how we came to seeds. Wonderful to meet
Kim's sharing about her time with SEEDS has given me more insight in the process, and at the same time it has made me think about how we can and should honour the pioneers in this network and care for them. Hearing about the Finca Sagrada and the people behind it as well as the story, has now shifted me into looking it up on the discord channels, whilst I had previously skimmed over it. Just goes to show that a "personal" link does a lot, it gives meaning to it, and listening to Kimberly telling me about how their project and campaign might help me on my SEEDS path made it come to life. Apart from these SEEDS insights, I love how I have learnt about Tulsa, Oklahoma, a place I never knew about before and I am now reading up on the 1921 massacre Kim described. The world is our oyster, the privilege of online connections allows us to travel whilst the planes are on the ground...
Great guy, great conversation, David is an amazing soul with a lot of energy willing to be of help, highly recommended!
My partner was a good listener and we had a nice conversation. She even was willing to try the miracle question with me.
It was great to hear all that Mark has learned in his research into dynamic governance, sociocracy, holacracy, and especially prosocial! I was glad to be reminded of Elinor Ostrom's work and learn about the core design principles. I also appreciated Mark introducing the "miracle question" prompt in which we each shared our vision of the world in 5 years! Very generative conversation!
Among the many things I appreciate about our conversation is our shared feelings for Mother Earth. It also feels good to see that I am not alone out there exploring ways to overcome the shortcomings of our current systems. and that only together we can go on this collective healing path.
It was very nice to have a conversation with Niki. She is a good listener and asks good questions.
Ben provided me almost immediately with great concrete ideas how to integrate Seeds with my current work, a community building agency. Also he inspired me in going after what you feel is right, identifying and giving form to your purpose. On top of that it's always nice to connect with a parent with 3 kids! :)
She was very kind, open, friendly. She was curious about my experience/journey. Gradually we started to share similar views and ideas which made the conversation more engaging as we were agreeing with each other and trying to provide responses/help to the other. My partner was present, listening and offered her tips to me. I felt positive to engage with a true conversation with a real person, which is not always possible in large meetings. I left the meeting wanting to meet her again!
i felt like we were able to connect deeply and point to things that are crucial in building community and causing fundamental change. it was great to see how our experiences complemented each other and we were both sharing things that seemed relevant as a next step for each other.
We had an amazing conversation that is hard to put into words. The most. I loved the way he held space and held me back from filling more space than necessary. Great insights on wisdom sharing and mycelium building.
Nice and strong Communication
Parfait spend most of our time together answering my questions about his life journey leading up to his proposal up for voting on SEEDS.
It was such a delight to spend time with Niki. It ended up being a really playful and fun space that was very valuable as well.
Wonderful connection sharing our paths through permaculture, healing and regeneration and the dilemmas around the current systems. Feel more determined the more connections are made!
Mark and I connected super nicely on building communities and the work of Elinor Ostrom. We agreed on the power of groups and that there is a strong need in the world today not only to work together in groups but also to be reinforced as a group so that the individual is not triggered into competition. Other than that we talked about living in and around LA and how frustrating it can be sometimes to work for a corporation ;)
We had a really good conversation and we are planning on connecting on discord.
i appreciated ben's calm, non-judgmental and loving presence. i felt happy to be getting to know someone new and grateful to be simply connecting with another being.
This was my first video meeting and I really enjoyed Nadia and our conversation.
It was a delight to meet Tommy. I enjoyed hearing about his story and the various actions he already took and the current project he is starting. It was interesting to hear about the challenges he still faces and how he wishes to help back his community. A real source of inspiration! It was nice to have a personal meeting and we are planning to keep in touch and help each other through our network.
Absolutely amazing human being! <3
It was an incredibly wonderful and magical conversation. Something very new and very powerful arrived in our co-creation. Beyond words.
We had a great meeting. Lots of synchronicities.
It was really inspiring to hear Walter's stories and experiences, what drew him and his wife to start their farm in Ecuador, and all the ways they are growing it with Seeds.
Ben helped me create a mental model of the Seeds values and structure.
Beautiful connections going deep into personal stories, personal regeneration and practical action through permaculture
Yan is great at listen and sharing... so am I :)) We talked about technology, SEEDS, ecovillages, community.
Meeting with @MaxVBohn brought a feeling of being at the right place at the right time. Max is a really open mind/heart soul that I felt connected to right away. I'm grateful and super happy to have this kind of heart connections through the Meet SEEDizens.
Great insight from a community professional
Super easy and nice converation that went from English to Italian and back! Matching interests on community building and psychology. Happy to know an experienced tech guy now that I can speak Italian with ;)
it felt great to connect with someone with a bunch of similar interests. looking forward to chatting more. :)
shared some worldly wisdom that was really important for me to hear in this moment
We discussed our experience with SEEDS. It was interesting to hear the connections and share a global vision despite the distance and background difference. It is enlightening to see a diversity of Seedizens and get the opportunity to meet more personally.
I thought it was a great conversation. It was a fun high energy conversation that created many possibilities.
Max is a good listener and very enthusiastic about SEEDS. We both had a lot of creative ideas about different ways to create things in the SEEDS community. I feel like we need to figure out how to make it more fun and engaging to work together and work on stuff.
We had a great conversation about how to market seeds and decentralized organization
We exchanging about my project
The Wifi connection was very poor
It was a really enjoyable conversation about a wide range of things. I feel really energised from his perspectives.
Great conversation, a lot of synchronicity
Networking strategies for Seeds
Marco was very kind, open and extremely generous. He was listening carefully and interested to learn more about the topics I raised and about myself, and offered to help too. We tried to think of possible ways that it could be beneficial to both of us as well as others. We are planning to meet again, which is the greatest gift out of the Seedizen program!
It was wondeful to hear from Nadia and all the great project she's been involved with in Africa.
Again, wonderful to meet and talk to a kindred spirit on the other side of the pond. We talked about Seeds, how unique it is, the Seeds Academy and the challenges the community will probably face in the future. Also we talked about identifying as an European and the nature in the South of England. Thank you so much!
Kirsten was very welcoming and open, and a great listener, but also very willing to share what she has learnt about SEEDS. Talking to her made me appreciate how valuable my journey through the SEEDS Ambassador Academy is, and how amazing the community forming around SEEDS is.
Walter and I had a nice chat about us, what we do, how to navigate the tools SEEDS uses and more.
We had a great conversation. Max helped me with some technical things which will help me navigate through discord and hypha. The conversation widened my knowledge of Seeds
Wanderfull
We know and deeply appreciate one another, do it was lovely to have this extra chatting time with Niki <3
