Welcome to the home page for Jack Ferrell.

Life is rich: full of wonders and marvels. So is my community and my human family.

 I am a builder, a teacher, an aspiring wilderness guide, a permaculture enthusiast, and much more. I enjoy natural building, greenhouses, farm and household work, potlucks, ambling in a natural setting, dreaming, resting, and invigorating the world in a good way. I feel stretched. Like anybody, I am aware of and have empathy for the very large, complicated, and troubling global situation we people are in. So I made this web page. I say powerfully promote the positive. And do other things. I am grateful to be grateful, to have all the privilege I have. My prayer is that all beings have a good journey. So let's care for ourselves and care for each other!

​

There are always a few very important things that we have in common. The earth. Our aliveness. Our humanness. The universe. That our lives are nuanced and always changing. That we are on a journey. And we all have a very important relationship with people, food, water, fire and heat, air, and cultural heritage.

 

In this cooperative spirit, to the best I am able, I will build, support, inspire, heal, co-create, collaborate, be part of awesome projects, future tragedies, and have a good time.

​

With deep gratitude, I pray for the positive and healthful evolution of myself, all people, and the earth, the ever-extending interconnected community I am a part of.

​

​

I still can hardly believe the incredible people and wealth of culture and community resources in my life. Let's just start here in the Paonia area. Teachers, classes, innovators, creatives, and other amazing people reside here in great numbers for such a remote and rural setting. My gratitude to all these high level and fantastic people. You make it a  wonder and a big blessing living in this area.

​

Rather than get deep into gratitudes, (my mom and dad and family would be first, but I wouldn't know where to end..)  .. let me describe the purpose of this web page a little more.
