Why do we build and rebuild? It could be because of breakdown or breakthrough and the interpretation may be up to us. However, sometimes there are setbacks where things fall apart and need repair. Other times, we learn, grow and envision a better way to add on or redo.

We definitely encounter this on the individual level as in the arc of the hero's journey coded in folklore and mythology, where the aspirant seeks, finds, falls, despairs and rises again towards illumination.

In some sense, this path also applies now to the collective experience.

In this gathering, we'll explore what we and society are building - materially, digitally, spiritually - and the etymology of the word "build" with it's roots in Latin and Sanskrit connecting us to the Earth. We'll also study the building metaphor and the symbolism of foundations, structures and roofs in life along with the tools to design beyond our breakdowns or breakthroughs.
