Hi folk, here is my #introduction. I am a #Gestalt psychotherapist from #Slovenia interested in #body and #trauma, an avid conscious dancer, started with #5Rhythms and thoroughly in love with #ContactImprovisation. I used to be a #Buddhist monk and teacher, but that part of my life has faded away lately. Oh, I used to be a computer engineer when I was younger, and still love .net community :)

#Introduction Born on #TurtleIsland to #capitalist parents. #PNW resident.
Lover of #art, #music, #poetry, #philosophy & #cinema.
Call me #Marxist, #Christian, perhaps #Buddhist, #GenX, #INFJ, sadly #monolingual, and privileged. Also #married, #father, & mediocre #friend. Trying to be better.
Also amateur #screenwriter, #trivia collector & holder of 4 #college degrees.
Former #Photographer, #Professor, #TelevisionDirector, #SawmillWorker, & #ConstructionWorker.
Still learning who I am. 😂
Practicing #mindfulness? Sorry, there's an app for that 😆
This one comes from the #Buddhist monastery, #PlumVillage: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/plum-village-zen-meditation/id1273719339
There's also #PositiveIntelligence, a #mentalfitness program I recently completed by NYT bestselling author and Stanford Lecturer, Shirzad Chamine: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/positive-intelligence/id1525390977
Just as these have helped my transformation since getting laid off, they help me stay on track every day.
to extinguish stress
a daily meditation
is just the ticket!

Alright, let's do this #introduction business!
Professionally I'm a staff reliability engineer (#SRE) at PagerDuty, where my interests lie in #LearningFromIncidents, #HumanFactors and safety.
My wife Candice (@eastcoastcandice) and I live in #Dartmouth, #NovaScotia (across the harbour from #Halifax) with our two #cats Stacey and Stella.
I'm also a #Buddhist, currently between teachers and sanghas, an urbanist and "social justice worrier", and a musician (bass and cello).
HI EVERYONE 👋👋👋
I'm going to make this my #introduction Toot. My name is Matthew and I was born and live in England, though I've also lived in #France and traveled widely.
I'm an #Anarchist #Buddhist - two things that might not seem obviously related, yet in truth they are. I care deeply for people and planet: #inequality and #ClimateJustice are two sides of one coin. We must find a new narrative, a new social contract. We have to learn to live in #peace.
We must engage with current #social, #economic, and #political paradigms and seek to reimagine them to be fit for purpose, because currently they are not.
Extractive patriarchal capitalism is destroying the #ecosphere, and our communities. #ClimateChange is a symptom, not the problem. The symptom will only alleviate when the problem is addressed.
#introduction - I'm a retired #molecularbiologist, an active #Buddhist and #atheist and I write about biology, politics, Indigenous #reconciliation and anything else that piques my interest! And sometimes I just post pics I take.
Reposting my #Introduction after server move!
I'm a #Black #neurodivergent (#ADHD) #disabled ace woman in her late 30's based in the UK. I have a #chronicillness (#MECFS)- former nurse but housebound now. I am extremely concerned about the way our society is going so I spend my time reading, doing serious #philosophy & trying to build #community despite having severe social anxiety. I'm also a dedicated longtime #Buddhist practitioner. I study #Japanese as a hobby (& yes, I do like #anime!)
New server, new #introduction
Hi!
I work in #devops by day, and love working with Linux, postgreSQL and open things like that. I used to live in #Portland Oregon, but have relocated to the #detroit #michigan area.
I’m into #mushrooms #mtg (the card game not the congressperson) #mosstodon #lichensubscribe #dogs #cats and other #critters.
I like collecting #shinyrocks and am in the #buddhist and/or #taoist and/or #esoteric way

Translation by Richard B. Clarke of the HSIN HSIN MING
attributed to Seng Ts'an, the
The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

#introduction (2) I’ve been meditating for most of my life, practicing #Buddhist for the last 20 years or so. #Gardener. #Cook. Besides #photography I can do many kinds of things moderately to rather well, and some rather badly but I try. #coffeeroasting most days. Caring for those who need it as much as I can. I code web front end, have done a lot of design — web and print for pay -- but much less now. No to fascism and nazis and GOP extremists.

white and shades, color and form
One creative thought!
