The "Purposes" of a not-for-profit corporation, in our case, The Sweetwater Creative Collective, is a legal statement of the way in which The Collective intends to fulfill its Mission. Our Mission is to help people share their abundance in order to ease suffering. None can deny that we exist within a latticework of suffering; homelessness, addiction and poverty surround us, we're experiencing a suicide and mental health pandemic. The suffering touches everyone in some way, this begs the question, how does one go about easing suffering? Before we're able to address any of these issues individually, we must first ask ourselves, what's the root cause of so much suffering? In a word, dysfunction. The level of suffering is increasing, dysfunctional families have become the norm, the mental health pandemic is fueling ubiquitous self-medication in all stratum of our socioeconomic paradigm. Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with...

Garlic mustard Invasive garlic mustard can take over forests, harming native understory species (Photo by NCC) No friend to our forests Garlic mustard , a highly invasive plant, has been spotted on Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) properties across Ontario. Brought to North America in the 1800s, this invasive alien plant is now spreading across the continent at a rate of 6,400 square kilometres per year — that's an area 10 times the size of Toronto! The success of garlic mustard is multi-faceted. Aside from having no natural enemies in North America, garlic mustard is an early riser. It takes advantage of the open canopy of springtime deciduous forests and the first rays of sunlight after the winter snow has melted, getting a head start on the native plants. Garlic mustard can change a forest's composition over time, creating a more favourable environment for itself, while driving other species out of the understory. This can even impact what trees grow in the forest, as garl...

This is one of the hardest things I've ever done, fear impedes me like a soft warm blanket. I lean in and it gives way as the words begin to flow. Does your fear have a physical presence? For me, this is one of the most significant benefits of using cannabis in my self analysis, as I consider the different elements of my life, the ones which cause me emotional pain, way too many to list, I can visualize the sensations which correspond to my cogitations. I can feel the fibromyalgia ebb and recede as I stretch and reflect and partake of Spiritual practice, my self care time. I want to go back to bed, to my warm comfortable wallow. I want to wrap my arms around myself and let someone pick me up, dump me somewhere and I'll just close my eyes and die.

We're here for the duration, here of our own free will, lost and twisted, again and again. Samsara, the eter...
