- On the road again; life in the political cult; new book
Even more than usual here, I don’t know what to say in a check-in. My life lately has been rich and complex, and any paragraph in this email I could expand into a tome. I will stick to the four news items, of which three are big. On the road […] - Chapter 1: An NVC Primer: Learning the language of feelings and needs; and basic communication literacy that is NOT included in the NVC model“Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.” — Marshall B. Rosenberg What NVC is good at, and where it fails I will start my chapter on Non-Violent Communication with the disclaimer that I am not widely read, so I apologize if […]

- The “Nano-RV”: Converting a Ford Focus to a miniature RV / Traveling vehicle
Context for this article When gas exceeded $4 per gallon this summer, I decided I needed to do something with my 2013 F150 with a cap, that I had converted into what I called “the micro-RV” (photo to the right). I was really very happy with the micro-RV, but I […] - Converting a cheap Guide Gear wood stove to a secondary combustion system
Context for this article When I built-up my 32′ Fifth-wheel RV as a permanent home in summer of 2021 I was looking for a small wood stove. I really wanted the Cubic Mini Grizzly stove. It was the right size for this space (8,000 to 18,000 BTU/hr, or 2.3 to […] - Final days at Hridaya Yoga, Mazunte, Mexico
I am in a cafe watching the ocean, on my final weekend at Hridaya Yoga. I will be back in Denver on Thursday. I will begin by saying I have been in great intellectual activation (even hypomanic ideation) my whole time here. It started in Guatemala with all my successes […] - Guatemala to Mazunte, Mexico; and 9 days at Hridaya YogaThis note has two chapters as I have been in two different worlds for the last two weeks. From Guatemala to Mazunte, Mexico (9 days) This was supposed to be a vacation, but it was hardly that. To begin I was still processing the extraordinary events of my time in […]
- San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala: take-aways
So I am about 1 ½ months into what’s becoming a 3-month adventure: it’s looking like roughly two months digital-nomading in the hippie paradise of San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Followed by a 3 ½ week yoga retreat at Hridaya Yoga in Mazunte, Mexico, which is about a […] - From Little House on the Prairie to Guatemala
Big news here. I am leaving the egalitarian commune in Wyoming to move to Guatemala tomorrow! And this time (once in a lifetime) I am ahead of the game in terms of packing (I usually pack at 8pm the night before). I have such a jumble of thoughts I don’t […] - Winter has arrived in Wyoming! Plus exciting plans
(And oh, Merry Christmas by the way!) Winter has FINALLY arrived at Solidarity Collective in Wyoming! Significant upgrades to the RV (a real bed, rather than a cot!), to the commune (the potable water system I designed, its fed by under the sink RO system), and more. I am happier […]
