Orientation and Identity | Music and Poetry

At this time, this ministry is aiming to study Dharma traditions, and particularly Hindu Kali tradition as the contributive force to a thesis on Forest Chaplaincy and Śākta Theology. While studying with a prism into Śiva womanhood, we will search and share women's own understandings of birth and death -- upon a synthesis of selfhood.

Currently, the ministry is looking to build a creative crew of artists and creators in our local area for Forest Sessions. While other primary passion projects include a sketch comedy club, at this time, LSC is working to open-up a large outdoor space for live music performance -- which may act as a general space for performing arts.

Building

Ministerial Relationship

Thank you for your care and consideration, upon building a relationship with this ministry.

 

Lavender Spirit Creations (LSC) is an eco-ministry service and production company also meant to build local productions and collaborative projects. Thus, while encouraging your personal spirituality and building a pastoral relationship, you are also contributing to cultural matters and creative measures for community support.

benefits of building

Ministerial Relationship

The typography of creating a ministerial relationship with LSC consists of a commencement interview, or the spirit interview.

The goal is to build more of an internal fortitude as well as reconnection with the soul that you are. This heart connection also allows me to get to know you more by getting more of a natural sense of how the ministry can best serve you, at this time, and in the long-run.

 

After the initial interview, you may choose to continue meeting through creative care or pastoral care, for a period of time and/or join the faith network developing within the ministry.

 

We aim to reach multiple communities, while building our own ministry with a focus on ecological awareness and building skills in open-sourced media. The purpose is to have allies in our day.

 

Regardless, may you always have a minister to whom you may trust in and reach out to for support in your spiritual path, grief work, bereavement and integration -- in this life.

Sustainable Community Economies

​- practice of connecting what a community has to what it needs

- embracing the principles of sustainability and small-scale democracy in community planning and development

- sustainable community economic development nurtures resiliency and self-reliance

Outlook: 
community 
members working with one another improve their economic well-being, increase control over their economic lives, and build community power and decision-making

Grassroots Research

​(Community-Based Participatory Research) 

 

- collaborative approach to research in which community members participate fully in all aspects of the research process (framing the research questions, data collection and processing, interpretation, dissemination, and determination of use of the results)

 - iterative process, incorporating research, reflection, and action in a cyclical process  

Outlook:

sharing decision-making power, resources, credit, results, and knowledge, as well as a reciprocal appreciation of everyone’s gifts

Sustainable Resource Use

- practice of cultivating relationships for greater resourcefulness

- letting go of our consumer mentality and waking up to our responsibility in caring for our community’s resources

Outlook:

healthier communities working together with and through the diversity and quality of their resources and the ability of local enterprises to build relationships with each other and create synergy out of their diversity  

Community Learning

- the process by which communities transition from business-as-usual to more just and sustainable ways of living and doing 

- premised on the idea that the outcomes of any social change process are highly uncertain and thus require collective experimentation — learning-by-doing and doing-by-learning

 

Outlook:

not to achieve fixed goals, but to gradually work towards common ambitions through innovation, integration, and transition
