The first Elephant Meeting in Tovaangar - where traumatized poor folks come together to heal and hold each other, to create true interdependent safety.
What is your vision of Home - apartment, shared room, tent, yard, treehouse, your own home?
Where do you feel safe? Home, with friends, community, party, quiet, noisy, city, country?
Is it people or place that make you feel safe?
Gelly Ngozi
My vision of home is a space where my creativity is flowing like a mad river
I feel most safe when I’m surrounded by people who fuel my fire and love me as I am and allows me to make wins and loses without shame
It is both. Heling is coloring, creating, clothing, health and beauty. When you look good you feel good and opportunities open up to you
I & I- No me, no you. I see you in me and me in you
Troy
Home is a safe place to be shaped without those who you feel comfortable around. Where love can lead and genuine feelings can be expressed
In community with friends figuring out future solutions. The valley or downtown >A.
It’s people who make me feel safe

Currently, my RV but more broadly home is where I can be my full self in the comfort of safety. Where I can share space and stories.
Outside amongst the life of this planet (plant, animal, people) and with community creating.
It is place first and people who came w/ love next.
