We carry grief and seeds.
We make room for the wild and the sacred.
We ask questions that defy easy answers.

Small, place-rooted gatherings.
Deep, slow inquiry across distance.
Shared rituals.
Connection.
Commons-sense.
We call it otherWise: An endeavor in co-learning, edge-dwelling,
grief-combing, time-unwinding.
We’re weaving a network of interdependent communities that nourish local autonomy while cross-pollinating wisdom, online and in-person.
We are not here to teach the right answers
But to live the necessary questions.
Not to fix the world
But to stay with it,
Tend it,
Compost what must be composted.
