Ancient Future Library
The Soul Seed House was first built in 2018 to share our research and recordings in a protected online library. It was designed to invite intentional and responsible engagement with the digital realm, while respecting the protocols of the communities we work with.
The aim was to build the most comprehensive and reliable earth-based cultural library, to house the 11years of research that has been gathered.
Guided by certain elders, we understood the need for a library design that facilitated a process to receive, hold and share knowledge rightly. Several female elders voiced wanting to share with our community, but not feeling safe to be publicly online.
We will open doors again shortly to our Soul Seed House library in its current form - with an invitation to become an active collaborator in its creation.
Our next steps are then to build a decentralized and shared ownership design, with protocols embedded into the structure to support the integrity of the space. We wish to invite all to contribute, engage and weave with us in this Ancient Future Library.
‘After becoming a resident of the Soul Seed House last week, I cannot stop exploring! This space is more than I could have ever imagined research to embody. I hold so much respect for your process of deep listening, participatory learning and sharing of sacred knowledge in a safe, creative and nurturing space. I would be so honoured to contribute and keep learning from the House in any way possible.’
