Wow what a super fun MudBall Ball!
Outcomes? Ppl pleaseeee
Send feed back … and what could help the next MudBall be like what you want your piazza to be like.
The piazza is full of life activities each one of us choose out of free will. Activities that will redesign everything to help clean water, air and soil and selves. Everyone is welcome to do what they can to improve our cultural designs. We focus on daily life in our world with intention of great design and a by-product of beneficial succession. To create a complete village we need to disagree with people to help contextualize our views and keep in check. If we spoke to only people who agreed with us we would be limited in outcomes. What can we do.. to better our lives and the planets? I say build piazzas, community gardens, plant food and nourish playful joyous communities that create bioremidiating lifestyles and collaboration. I want to see people be the change and practice it here if you can not manifest it outside. The piazza wants to be an active living solution to our daily lives that address directly our health and quality of life.
On June 1st The Masters Of Succession Presented: The 3rd BENEFICIAL MUDBALL BENEFICIAL MUD BALL (The MudBall Ball) A Garden Celebration of Bioremediation & Symbiosis. The MoS Collective comes together to Seed Serendipity one Piazza at a time.
