“OH! NAMELESS SPIRITS OF LIFE AND DEATH...”

Today we performed a blessing ritual on the development site on the corner of Maryvale Road.

We imbued the land and with protective/ nurturing spirits and demons created by local residents.

A place to cook and eat? A place to create, to grow flowers and food?"

What is homeliness to you?

A place where you feel safe and cosy? A place where there is nice light? A place of solitude, an escape?

A place to cook or eat, a place to concentrate and create, to grow flowers and food, a place to never work and just be?
