Pittsboro in 30 Years – A Blog by Pepperfest Poster Artist, Stayce Leanza

September 2, 2019 By Stayce Leanza Leave a Comment

I felt uniquely suited to take on this year’s Pepper Festival theme, as striving for Utopia is part of my daily life as a member of an intentional community. My life at Blue Heron Farm is one big experiment in the creation and development of co-operative and sustainable ways of living together.  So, when the…

Winter Solstice: Standing Still in the Abundant Pause

December 21, 2018 By Katherine Savage 1 Comment

  It is the Winter Solstice, the day when the Northern Hemisphere begins its slow shift back towards the sun, and we take time to reattune our senses to the subtle changes and cycles of the seasons. The Latin roots of the word ‘solstice’ mean ‘sun stands still’. When I watch the sun today cross…

Angels of Abundance

September 13, 2018 By Katherine Savage Leave a Comment

  An angel of a’plenty got me to my first Abundance event. She came to me from the other side at a time when I needed a nudge to get out of bed. I’d been in bed metaphorically for a few years, from the profundity of my discouragement in human behavior. I felt the holes…

At the Table, An Inside look at Abundance

August 30, 2018 By Tami Schwerin 5 Comments

My Abundance bio was your typical bio: brief self-description, pets, and family. Well… now they are all either dead or gone. I tried a couple of times, but it was too painful to write a new bio.  To remedy this, Hannah created a staff retreat under the guise of needing new headshots.  While each individual…

Thinking Again, Eden

May 23, 2018 By Katherine Savage 4 Comments

Most of us however, refer to Eden in metaphor only; we don’t actually expect it to become our zip code. Two years ago, I moved from the Triangle area to Eden. Not Eden NC, but Celo NC, named in honor of the ‘Eve’ of the Cherokee people, Selu. A connection between Selu and the Black…

Out of the Box

December 8, 2017 By Hannah Eck 1 Comment

First came shock.  Deer in the headlights.  Fish out of water.  No comprehension whatsoever. Next came skepticism.  One of those look left, look right moments that end with a timid “are you talking to me?” “Yes – I’m talking to you!  Wanna come over here and lay down in this coffin?” Silence. “It’s a photo…

Inside Abundance: an Intern’s Story

August 3, 2017 By Tami Schwerin Leave a Comment

Each day there was something different happening at Abundance.  Each day it was something special that made my summer meaningful. It was meeting the people. I looked forward to the weekly Monday meetings where attendees shared personal and professional life updates. These meetings allowed me to not only learn how much needed to be accomplished…

Alive and Crackling….

Alive and Crackling….

"...We have barely disembarked into life...we've only just now been born, let's not fill our mouths with so many uncertain names, with so many sad labels, with so many pompous letters, with so much yours and mine, with so much signing of papers. I intend to confuse things, to unite them, make them new-born intermingle them, undress them, until the light of the world has the unity of the ocean, a generous wholeness, a fragrance alive and crackling."
― Pablo Neruda
