It will feel like swimming against the current. Have you noticed how water finds its way? What can we learn from water? As examples, Kannan will explain the impediments and resolutions in some Eastie Farm projects, whether it's about acquiring land as a grassroots community organization or building a greenhouse powered by an energy source unfamiliar to us, i.e. geothermal. The impediments faced range from the mundane (e.g.: permitting) to systemic and cultural ones (e.g.: hyper-individualism vs collectivism). How to go after low-hanging fruit: Train the mind away from focusing on what’s hard How to move in multiple directions simultaneously: Bust silos How to start small: Fight that attraction to big How to deal with the current system while changing it: Start where you are How to sustain the work, through thick and thin: Shrink, don’t disappear
