Très heureux // Just turned 43 and getting ready for another generational run on this full moon. Grateful for ever increasing wisdom, grounding, friendship, camaraderie, strength and love.

Thinking about the onset of springtime in NYC. Throwback to what feels like lifetimes ago (pre-COVID).

OUR FINAL WORKSHOP IS HERE! “How Do We Keep the Poop in the Loop?” Hosted by @lenatamashii Co-Creating Preferred Futures for Sanitation What would a healthier, more sustainable, and circular sanitation system look like in Trinidad and Tobago—and what would it take to get there? In this workshop, we move from understanding today’s system to imagining what could replace it. Together, we will envision and co-create possible future sanitation systems that keep nutrients and value in the loop. This session is about building shared visions: clear mental models of how a circular sanitation system could work socially, technically, and economically. We will explore: What system conditions would need to change to make preferred futures possible How new models could attract enough value to make old patterns obsolete What value could be co-created for all stakeholders—farmers, communities, service providers, regulators, and more Come ready to think big, stay practical, and help shape the future. If you would like to attend the workshop, please send a message to @lenatamashii
