Today in class we all shared fresh produce and hand-made goods with attending members of our local yoga community.
This social experiment, which encouraged people to bring in offerings, harnessed the power of reciprocity – with a view to creating abundance and mutual exchange.
The multi-directional flow of goods – including coriander and kaka beak seeds, fresh apples and pears, herbal tea, baby booties, flax flowers (putiputi), and artwork, allowed individuals to overcome non-participation and hesitancy.
As a result of peoples’ generosity, everybody left with a hand-decorated swag-bag of goodies, a testimony to the power of thoughtfulness and active sharing.
