The Great Pacific Octopus crawls the ocean bed with 9 brains and three hearts, as one of the most intelligent creatures in the waterworld.
The Octopus Project, biomimics the Great Octopus, and dreams of an Earth-aligned community in the SAARC lands – a community that makes the effort to understand Earth Oikos (Earth Household) ways of being– with multiple arms reaching out into multiple spaces, each of which is a brain that functions both separately and together to nourish the community.
An Earth-aligned community that will notice and observe in new ways, that will think in new ways, write and speak in new ways, research new topics with new perspectives.
A community that commits to becoming ancestors of our future generations on Earth.
A community that supports each other as we do the difficult transition from what is easy and convenient and familiar to an unknown uncertain trail.
For this work cannot be done alone.
This Project is primarily developed for humans in the lands below Himalayas– the various river valley civilizations, the islands, the deserts, the plateaus and the many ghats and ranges therein.
This Project hopes for us to Earth into our bioregions and its resources, current and ancient. Through movement, art, skills, language, and different way of relating.
