We have learned most everything we know about patience and divine timing from this here tipi. Nine weeks of tipi pole prep, in a nine month project, working around our day jobs and busy lives. This is how she will stay until next weekend. We had a long birthday-tipi weekend, and as we ease into the week, reflecting back, the past few days feel like months. We packed so much in.
In truth, it’s been a long and sometimes overwhelming process, but we are so excited to see the Beauty made manifest and to hold space for ease in the process. The support and energetic participation from our community has meant so much… beyond measure really. You All help us to remember why we conjured this inspiration in the first place.
Our vision: Love in Concentric Circles, created here, emanating out, for the greater good of All.
We love and adore you All. We are so eager to share with you, here at OdaBe, where we will invite co-creative creativity, generativity, spiritual support, and oh-so-much Love. Here are a few photos of our journey, and next time we’ll share the finished product. Aho!

Geeze Denise,
This has been a huge project / process. To see the poles up is an incredible feeling. We had just the right amount of help. Soon there will be an actual tipi standing tall and we’ll be decorating and moving in.
My experience in projects such as this (as well as painting the exterior of the house) is much like a metaphor for life itself.
Sometimes our experience can be overwhelming / intimidating at first when we’re trying to fathom the entirety of it at the start. Then as we get into it we run into all sorts of aspects we didn’t see at first. This can feel like a huge wave about to crash over me. I just want to get back to firm ground and rest up a bit but here comes another wave…Other times I’ll have a huge inspiration and synchronicity kicks in propelling me into timelessness and creativity.
One foot in front of another, faith and trust (Protereian) soon I can see progress. Then all the effort becomes visible and the project comes to life.
I’ll bask in the glory of completion for awhile before becoming restless / inspired for the next creation…. Blessings Be
