Appreciating the wildness of our mountainside land, as the weather shifts into deeper autumnal rhythms... We're able to see much better the contours of the hillside, as our trees shed their leaves and carpet the forest floor in new colours... A blessed time, chopping wood, harvesting greens and cracking walnuts πŸ™β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ’ #sovereignhomestead #naturallaw #italy #freedom image
Extreme inspiration from our land, as we symbiotically reconstruct the natural shelter which is on it. Feeling very happy to be reaching (at least one) corner of the 'more-stable stable', having reset the floor in natural stones. Some rocks were already in the building, some outside... Beautiful process of finding each Right one, to fit into the next πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ’™ #homesteading #naturallaw #creativeliving #slowliving image

A new post about our #sovereignhomestead is up on the Hive - "I love that we are in this dreaming space, of inventing a new kind of home, one that we have not really seen yet, but have a strong sense of wantingness towards. And I love our shared understanding of what is important, and what is less so; we absolutely do not want a conventional electrical supply or infrastructure. Nor a conventional water supply! Nor conventional cupboards and storages spaces… I made a wooden bed frame that we may bring with us…" Read the full post here: https://ecency.com/hive-114308/@clareartista/hovel-sweet-hovel image

Nature Pays Us More... "Payments might feel lighter, easier, less consequential, now that things are moving into the digital realm, but there is the distinct air , to me, that humanity is now free-falling – tumbling into a bottomless abyss of empty darkness, the further we move away from a grounded, balanced, wholesomeness in our living and in our transacting. Our collective arrogance seems immeasurable: our belief in there being infinite supplies of everything, available at any time of the day, at the click of a pixelated button, ad infinitum, forever and ever... Does it really feel like freedom, to be able to click buttons like this, and then to accept a package at the door? Would it not feel betterto pluck a ripe fruit, put it into a homemade basket (rather than a metal fabricated one that is borrowed just for the time spent perambulating the store), jar it up for later. Look at the jar later on one’s crammed larder shelves, bursting with bright condiments and nutrition? Or to visit a local producer of such riches (minus the strip lighting, the loud beeping, the tinned music and advertising whacking us on the ears), to dine with them in the sacred natural light, communing with truly holy food and presence….?"
