Hello to all my friends in the story field...

Here is my email, so you can contact me if you need any tech support for the Storyfield wikis and blogs, or support in creating any other online environment conducive to our ongoing connection and interaction: amy@clearlightcommunications.com.

Storyfield:

Here is a post I made on the StoryField Conversations blog, beginning to explore some of what I wanted to connect with others about at the gathering.

Here is a post I made on my own blog, upon my return from the story field.

Here are some of my reflections after the first StoryField conference (this 'reflections' wiki is password-protected).

A little about me, more generally:

I live in Richmond California in a little house I am miraculously managing to make the mortgage payment on each month. My love-monkey and I painted every room in the house a different color - the room I sleep in is violet.

My work is in the field of online communications and design. I help individuals and organizations articulate their visions online, find or nurture their communities and design an ongoing communications strategy that will support them in achieving their goals. I am independent and am blessed to work with some amazing people who are making positive contributions in the world. My business is called Clear Light Communications.

I am an artist, photographer, and writer.

Here are some of the things I love:

~ working with my hands; weaving, throwing pots, making jewelry

~ nature and being outside

~ listening deeply

~ the sound of silence

Here are some of the things I believe in:

~ the transformational power of art

~ the potential of the internet to connect humanity on an essential level

~ that all things are interconnected and humanity is one body

~ life is good and the source of all things is love

One of my primary passions is in illuminating the beauty I see all around me - in people and nature and in all things that reflect the whole. Another is in creating sacred space, particularly online. One of my dreams is to foster online environments that are consciously heartful and connected to the earth.

I blog in a number of places. My primary blog is called the Beauty Dialogues and my photoblog is called All is Light; I blog in several collective blogs, including the StoryField Conversation, one called Conversation as a Co-Evoutionary Force hosted by the World Café, and one on ecopsychology, called Seeds for Thought. My topic there is Art & the Environment. I also edit an e-zine on Ecopsychology called Gatherings.

I have had an active spiritual path for 30+ years, studying with Oscar Ichazo at the Arica Institute.
