I’ve had the power of connection to place on my mind this weekend.

When we started designing the Paddock Project in Castlemaine, it was just a dirt paddock. But we shared a story—a story about bringing back the powerful owl, the legless lizard, the golden sun moth, and the growling grass frog.

We imagined a community that could grow together, care for the land, and build something meaningful. Today, the people living there are doing just that, creating a vibrant ecosystem for themselves and for nature.

In this week’s episode of The Systems Sandbox, I shared more about the Paddock Project and how stories like these inspire care and belonging.
