PRAXIS*
our ministry is
- set in motion to respond to the Earth
- following and participating in eco-pedagogy
- de-centering the systems of colonial capitalism
- building a mindset for this process (sustainable resource use)
and being active toward waste management
- aspiring for a society where sustainable practice
and respect for all ecosystems is the main premise
Sustainable Community Economies
practice of connecting what a place has to what it needs
when embracing the principles of sustainability
and small-scale choice-sharing in group
planning and development,
sustainable economic development nurtures
resiliency and self-reliance
Outlook:
working with one another improve economic well-being,
increase control over their economic lives,
and build personal power and decision-making
Sustainable Resource Use
practice of cultivating relationships for greater resourcefulness
when letting go of our consumer mentality,
we are waking up to our responsibility
in caring for our resources
Outlook:
healthier individuals working together with and through the diversity, the quality of resources, and the ability to build relationships and create synergy out of diversity
Grassroots Research
(Community-Based Participatory Research)
iterative process, incorporating research,
reflection, and action in a cyclical process
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)
Outlook:
sharing decision-making power, resources, credit, results, and knowledge, as well as a reciprocal appreciation of everyone’s gifts
Community Learning
learning-by-doing and doing-by-learning
the process by which everybody transitions from business-as-usual
to more just and sustainable ways of living and doing is premised on the idea that the outcomes of any social change process are highly uncertain and thus require collective experimentation
Outlook:
gradually moving through transition and integration by working towards common ambitions with reflection and regulation
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.
Faith Network
01
community for sharing poems and songs, such as in the Death Café group, and private sphere to share creative inspirations and project progressions
02
study group for exploring sacred text, practicing sacred language, visiting private revelations and sharing spiritual insights -- interfaith and interreligious
03
space for designing and developing creative projects, conceptual frameworks, film productions and musical creations
04
place for retreats and activities, meetings and sessions, amongst the above support groups -- within a faith network
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.
