We love sharing our life through photos!
Photography is one of the best ways to connect with people. So much can be conveyed in a single image - each picture is worth way more than a thousand words!
We're inspired to make an entry to the Steemit Photo Challenge #53 for the theme Human Body with a snapshot of some of our favorite human beings:
These darling, innocent, joyful little girls are the daughters of @gardenofeden founder @quinneaker & his mate @truelovelives, and they are the motivation behind so much of what we do in our ecovillage.
It is a dream to see all children grow up as free, healthy, and happy as QiQi and Noki are. This planet would be an entirely different place if children were honored as the competent, capable, responsible divine beings they are, and we have no doubt that these amazing girls can dazzle the world with the true potential children hold.
We hold a space to protect and nurture them. Their days are filled with love, friends, family, play, passion, and adventure, as they follow their hearts to live life of their own design - no alarm clocks, no schedules, no obligations or burdens, no supposed-tos/have-tos/or shoulds. In fact, even something as standard as a bed time is such a foreign concept to these girls (they sleep when they are tired and they wake when they have rested), that lately QiQi has been having great fun playing a game in which she actually requests one!
We are creating a better world for them. May all children be so free and ALIVE!
As Quinn is fond of saying, "Parenting is the foundation of all of our lives, for better or for worse". It is one of the most--if not the most--important facets of life, which is why he invests a lot of time and energy in sharing a new paradigm perspective in which the child is truly respected as a sovereign being unto themselves.
The old model of parenting has yielded a society of broken citizens, and it's time to question that model. It doesn't work, and it's time for a shift into a better, more powerful way. Quinn offers real solutions, and we hope all will tune into the insights he shares! We invite you to follow his account as well as to sign up for our newsletter, where new paradigm parenting is just one of the valuable topics we cover each week.
