I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1063 - Hive School: How to #ThriveOnHive - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, June 25, 2025

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 6 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Because of the great need to smooth out and improve the onboarding experience for Hive newcomers, I'm very much considering creating some sort of framework to begin ongoing educational classes on the many aspects of the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, and how to thrive here. I do this anyway, as I go about my time on Hive, assisting, helping, supporting, and teaching/educating newcomers as much as I'm able. While this is useful, it's not a particularly efficient method, as so many who could benefit from what I share with different new Hivers, would never see it.

Since people are all over the world, the most effective type of teaching, face-to-face classes, is not an option, so an easily workable alternative needs to be found. Being able to share my laptop's desktop would be the second best, as then people in the class would be able to see what I'm describing. Pictures are worth a thousand words, as the saying goes. I'm not sure of which platform that might be yet, however.

I'm imagining that the curriculum would be created in a tree pattern, with each section of it being the branches starting with the basics at the roots, moving up through the trunk of important things to know and keep in mind, and then moving through progressively more specific and complex focuses in the finer branches and branchlets. This would take quite a bit of time and focus to put together, so I'm not at all sure of when I'd even be able to get to it, but it's important, so I think that i should try.

Ideas for educational sections are starting to come to me, which I'll start writing down, but this is certainly a big can of worms, which I'm starting to think that I may not be able to do alone. All I know is that I have a lot of useful and helpful information to share with newcomers, to help make their experience here more positive, I just need to find a framework that would make it an easeful process over time.

To make the process more efficient, I could also just do away with the need to share my desktop, by recording what I do on my desktop into videos, in which I do walk-throughs on various topics where a visual demonstration would be useful. That might work better overall. In any case, although I don't know how it's all going to come together just yet, I want to make this happen, because I think that it's an area of Hive that is in notable need.

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started on time, and we wrapped it up by around 4:30PM, after which I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I headed back to the Flow House, to continue with some troubleshooting on my new FreeBSD installation, to ease into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Although I wasn't able to get caught up fully the previous two nights, last night I was actually finally able to do so, finishing by around 10:30PM, then after some asset management, a scan of my X feed, going to bed just after 12AM. I woke up quite late, just after 8AM, doing more asset management, getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing around 8:30AM, then return to the Flow House to write this post. I had to pause that for an hour to go attend a community meeting, returning to the Flow House immediately after to get back to writing my post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography, straining and blending kefir, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so much! Until my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next incarnation of these posts tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
