A throwback to my 2nd burn in the first moment of collection of the ideas and objects that would become #renarnia #burningman2013 #burningmman #spektrum # seer #blessed #tbt @casalarisa @beachedfossil (at Burningman. Black Rock City)

There once was a Queen of Narnia... who went through a Portal that spit her out in the heart of ReNarnia. Fortunately for her, she has once again found her throne and feels masterful in its embrace. #Narnia #renarnia #abburners #lea #ariesodyssey #throne (at Downtown Edmonton)

Death and fire are humbling. Feeling Gratitude for those who keep going and for the strength of the collective #ariesodyssey #oakland #gRADitude #renarnia

What is a theme camp and why do we do it? Our home on the fraya - a geodesic shmoof circus holding space for utter creativity and expansion into personal fulfillment within community, all balanced on the scales of Impermanence. ReNarnia forever immortalized in her most recent form at Alberta's regional burn this solstice weekend. #renarnia #freezerburn2016 #mytribe #originaljanksters #impermanence

All Aboard the Greenship!

This weekend I had my first taste of being involved in the building of an Earthship-style greenhouse, or Earthship, North of Edmonton, Alberta.  My sister Laryssa is the Project Manager and Chief Inspiration Officer for the Greenship which is being built in conjunction with the Aspen Centre for Integral Living (ASIL).  After graduating from Earthship Academy in Uruguay in March, Laryssa’s intention is to bring her skills and knowledge home and collaborate with an army of awesome humans interested in sustainable living.

Working on the retaining wall

Watching my Big Sis take on a project of this magnitude while sharing her knowledge with the community has been wildly gratifying.  This weekend, the Greenship team arrived on the land to a freshly-excavated worksite where we began trench digging, tire pounding and building a retaining wall.

Getting to pound my first tire! 

This project has sparked a deep interest in me to build, collaborate and learn from the green-thumbs around me.  After weekend one, I’m hooked.  Here’s to an upcoming summer and autumn of watching the Greenship evolve!

“It’s starting to look like something!”

Thank you for the garbage fest friends, Jank Couture cultivated magic last night. Feeling our ReNarnia family grow as we celebrate radical self expression alongside a sexy LNT parade. Proud of my fellow Aslans - hear us roar #originaljanksters #renarnia #garbageissexy #burningman2016 (at Ots Park)

"If you are given the confidence to experiment, you can figure out almost everything later in life, because you have become a maker. You know, humans are makers. That is why we have thumbs – we are supposed to make." -Harley K. Dubois In our world, garbage makes art. #janklife #renarnia #garbageissexy #burningman #leagueofextraordinaryalbertans
