Search and friend Celeste OldeGrowth that's how I'll promote things and ultimately market myself. Eventually I'll just delete this page. A business page was just never quite right for me.

Celeste Nichole will remain my private account, maybe eventually also to be deleted.

Also, talk to me about how one of these little dudes could be yours!

Learning about the Indigenous Pe**te Conservation Initiative as a part of my coursework becoming a licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon. I'm just in the initial online work, then there's a in-person portion, then practicum. I'm very excited to be accepted into a program and to be beginning this journey and I look forward to entering the world of counseling in a way that feels very true to myself and my own experiences.

Anyone want to take this course with me? Maybe make a weekly or every-other week discussion meet up out of it?

A Course of Economics for All

This Saturday (18th) brings another gathering to the property. The annual celebration of Titlakawan. We've embarked on a landshare relationship together. Caring for this land and stewarding space for the traditions of Temazcal and Danca; mezoamerican traditions rooted in caring for the earth, ourselves and each other.

Come by and see the drumming and dance from 10am to 12:30 on Saturday. Stay through a shared meal and watch the temazkalli unfold if you desire. Please let me know if you'd ever like to be part of a Temazcal, we can plan a friends & neighbors one!

This will be pretty loud, if you live nearby hopefully you'll see this and be able to contextualize what's happening.

A sound piece stemming from an interview with Celeste Goulding, a social worker based in Oregon, U.S.A. who works with homeless people visiting severe weather shelters, with shelter workers, and with volunteers, as well as with youth experiencing housing insecurities, and with housing hosts.

Mindmanifestival was amazing!! We dealt with nearly the full gambit of day-of hazards beautifully and gracefully for a volunteer crew that haven't known each long. The 98% rain did not scare away ticket holders, and it was beautiful. Met a ton of locals that came through to check the place out and many that traveled all the way from Seattle to see beloved friends and bands. My heart is full and I'll certainly take some sun for clean up!! 😍💜💙💚💋🌞🌈

So much to say about the day and so many big and wonderful emotions throughout. Please, please, please if you have photos or video from the day tag and and help us all stay in touch!!

Also follow OldeGrowth on the platforms to see what else this property and team might have growing.

Mindmanifestival is coming together!! Beautiful to be working with neighbors and friends to bring this together.

I haven't had time to walk house to house, but anyone following the social media journey that's a neighbor please come on by. FREE ENTRY if you let the gate know you live in sight, and you know say something about your house to prove it 🤗🤪🤩

Amplified music will stop at just after sunset. The county is well aware of this event. Come by and enjoy! Can't wait to meet you or grow closer!! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤💥

Mindmanifestival is this Saturday, wild!! Ticket sales online are doing well enough I might shut them down mid-week to have enough space for walk-ins day of. We do have a limited capacity. That being said, I'm looking for volunteers!! $10 ticket for a 2 hour volunteer shift!! Let me know if you are interested by sending a message here or emailing [email protected]

16/05/2022

Mindmanifestival is coming soon!! Are you a local artist or crafter? Looking for a few more interested in vending & non-musical performers [email protected]

Happy Mothers Day!! Huge thank you to all those that choose to become parents and those that decide to keep a pregnancy when surprised by one. Also a huge thank you to those that chose not to, you know what is right for you and forced parenting is dumb and archaic. Please help defend the right to choose and support those you love in parenting, or not.

Also go ahead and get tickets to Mindmanifestival and come celebrate together in June!!

Scrintz is really checking out the line up for June 4th. Join us for Mindmanifestival the first year collaboration between myself and a musican-neighbor. Getting pretty excited about the artists and vendors coming together. It's going to be a little extravaganza to practice our social skills coming into summer!! Family friendly, kids area and puppeteers present! Tickets on sale now, will be limited sales due to small venue size. https://oldegrowth.com/calendar/mindmanifestival-event/

A Tweet by that says, “god I fu***ng love a good walk. Look at all these trees. F**k man is that a pinecone? Hell yeah. Going to awkwardly nod at passing strangers? Don’t mind if I do. Nothing like some fresh air.”]

Beautiful color this morning.

Seeing the moon light up the landscape at night, to this burst of color at first light has been peaceful to watch, though I could have also gone for 2 more hours of sleep. Oh well, here we go Thursday!!

Looking forward to getting done with the work week and back out onto the property. Work party, driveway repair beginning, and a full moon...big plans for Saturday. :-)

If you haven't gotten a cheese board from Wedge & Cured you really should I'd highly recommend it.

Snowy yesterday led to quite the beautiful spring flowers. Did you get good snow flower pics yesterday? I've already seen so many floating around!!

Super great time yesterday, doing pretty hard work with new friends. Getting a stage platform set and the outline dug for a dance floor and pretty sweet little stadium seating up the hill. 👀🍐🍒

Sending a letter out to neighbors talking about my plans to landshare and host small events led to a musician neighbor reaching out. Mindmanifestival was born over the course of a afternoon conversation, and is now truly taking form. Very much looking forward to this inaugural event in the still-being-created space.

Tickets should be on sale of the website soon. Looking for local creators, painters, sculptures, body workers, body painters :-) that may be interested in collaborations and/ or vending space for this one- day event, June 4th. 🎨🪅 Get ahold of me [email protected] 🐐👽

I'm hoping to have lots of opportunities for interaction and creation at this small musical event. Also a children's corner and parade is on the agenda, so plan for the family!! ⛺️🌞

The unfortunate part is my property is hilly, so accessibility is a issue close to the stage area, thankfully there's good visual and audio line of sight from the accessible top of the hill. Please, if mobility is a concern of yours, reach out and let's talk about the options here. 💜

Gunther and I are wondering what is stopping you from registering for Wild Inks? I know my advertising game online is not the strongest. But I'm very open to feedback and adjusting things I'm hoping to host. We've rescheduled this once before, perhaps really third time is the charm 💜🐐💐

Too expensive?
Bad timing?
OldeGrowth not well enough known?
Should I gather interest in this workshop, then work with those folks directly on scheduling?

I'm coming from social services/ community organizing, I'm pretty geared to meet people where they are 🙃🤩 even when it comes to trying to build my own small business.

Wild Inks is coming to Gaston!! Join us in early May to learn how to forage and create your own Inks, then spend some time painting with what you created. Beautuful templates or blank canvas provided, along with everything else you'll need including food and beverages :-)

The website is still working some links out. Contact me directly to register. But read all about the plan for this overnight workshop at:

What a beautiful winter solstice it was. A sunrise ceremony to bless the space that a Temazcal will be built. Then sunset and dinner with friends new and old.

The outdoor space availability keeps my hosting low in the winter, but there are exciting happenings around the property. Some amazing connections have been made and relationships forming.

Look for room postings on Airbnb in early 2022, then when camping weather hits our HipCamp will be live again. Until then, things are dormant, gathering strength and energy to burst forth this spring.

Take care everyone! Happy Yule!! Rest deep, we've been in trying times, our strength and focus are still needed. Our compassion and kindness must overcome. Sending love.

I came across this book about a year ago, then I was lucky enough to get chosen to be part of a 8 week workshop with Cassie and her team on being a Hologram, specifically geared towards caregivers. It was a remarkably affirming and healing experience.

I've since had my own Minimum Viable Hologram and intend to do quarterly meetings personally. I've also had the pleasure of being a part of the international group of folks practicing the Hologram and it has inspired me to start speaking more broadly about the concept and expand the experiment :-).

Please look up the book, The Hologram by Cassie Thornton and The Feminist Economic Department, Cassie's broader work.

I'm toying with planning to host a online workshop on The Hologram myself. Let me know if that seems interesting to you.. drop a comment here!! 💜💙💜

What happened to August!?!
We are living through some wild times. Talking about trauma, the unknown, misinformation, isolation, it's a perfect storm to disconnect us from each other and the world around us. Hold on. Stay kind. Reach out to someone. Just saying hello goes so far.

Enjoy some goat pics* and some glamor shots of the beautiful mandala my friend and temp property resident, Shannon designed and painted. Center piece coming soon. Really is the center piece of the yard already though :-).

*Derby did not eat a gopher bomb... but only cause there was supervision.

Smokey and warm breakfast service this morning. Still a lovely meal to get to prepare for a traveling stranger this morning. HipCamp add on off my one site... still looking forward to getting the teepee up as a second site. Have a great Friday everybody!!
