Me and My Role at the Gaia Community

Posted on Feb 7th, 2008 by

Hello Everyone,

I would like to share a bit about me and my role here with Gaia Community.

I am engaged in supporting the community to build connections and grow together. I enjoy helping sustainably conscious initiatives evolve and sharing in service to the world, locally and globally.

How are we going to change the world together?

By connecting, interacting, meeting, sharing, working together, helping to empower, growing together and spreading the seeds that grow beautiful flowers....

What's your greatest passion?
Everyday and everything... that is a part of this life I'm living. Really I am often surprised by the spontaneous beauty flowing around me. To wake every morning greeted by the sun. To breath in and out. To be in daily relationship with the person I love. To watch my children bloom. To be present in the moments is beyond words.

What do you love most about this community?

I love the communication that happens here everyday. I love the sharing of ideas, visions, passions and the simple connections that bring us together. I love the interactions that develop as we communicate with each other. I love the potential of the community to evolve the way we interact and grow together.

What do you love most about working here?

I enjoy being in service to the community vision, bringing people together and sharing our collective expanding connections as we evolve our inner and outer beings.

btw - in the picture I'm in the center. Jennifer and Ninja Dave are behind me.

Hi Mark! Did you come up with these questions for the Gaia Team to answer so that we could get to know you all better?! Cuz if you did, it was a great way to build connections! I dropped 5 seeds on your head for what you do each day for us! I'm glad that everyone finally got some plants so that your eyes can rest from looking at a computer screen all day! Staring at a plant isn't really what you would call 'work' but you can tell everyone that you're just resting your eyes! They can get in touch with me if they don't think that is part of your job! ~grin~

Smiles!

Thanks Amber,

I'm not sure who came up with the questions. All of our team members are answering them on our blogs.

I love to stare at plants. :) That was one of my favorite things to do on Kauai were there is an abundance of vegetation. We have a lot of plants in the office which really helps the Gaia vibe. I have to walk through 2 big plants to get to my desk and have 3 more smaller ones around me.

Blessings,
Mark

Thanks for all you do. I wish I could spend more time here at Gaia, but someday, I may be able to! I find writing my blog helps me to connect to the higher self and everyone. The pods are always interesting, and I am overjoyed to find so many young people so evolved here at Gaia! Yipee!

Thanks Red Falcon!

I find the same thing with writing my blog. I started blogging 5 years ago to connect more to my higher self and organize some of the thoughs flowing through me. I still enjoying blogging and having Gaia to connect with the community beyond blogging is a blessing.

Sounds like you're going to need a pair of pruners to get into your cube, Mark! I hope they didn't buy the thorny kind! You'll look like you've bought a couple of kittens with all the scratches you'd get from the plants! I think you might be able to collect hazard pay in a couple of weeks!

Smiles and Stickers!
