Welcome, All!
'Cynefin' (pronounced kin-EV-in) is a Welsh word roughly translating to ‘a place to stand’.
It is the feeling of knowing that you ought to live and belong someplace.
Every origin story begins with the land. Every person harbors the overwhelming desire to find a home, a home that begins with the ground beneath our feet.
We all have a place to stand here, on this Earth, with other lives unlike our own streaming around us, with the whispering ground under us in every breath, every footfall. This is the last chance we have to take responsibility for the home in which we arose, grew up, and abandoned.
