Project updates
Project updates will follow the work as it develops and connect each development with the people, questions and contributions behind it. As findings and practical knowledge grow, the updates will explain what they mean for the work and where they may lead next.
I’ll be at the ALPS conference in Aarau on October 9-10, as well as the workshop day on October 8 and Friday’s networking dinner.
I’m looking forward to conversations about the Lovefield Project’s research, practice and the possibilities we are exploring. I’d particularly like to meet researchers interested in developing the studies, people who could support the work, and practitioners or communities interested in exchanging experiences and practical knowledge.
The first public version of Lovefield Lab is now open, beginning with a study in preparation on targeted vegetation movement. We are sharing the question, current protocol and methods while we refine the study design and tools. Your input can help shape the approach before we collect data for the first study series.
The question comes from my practice. I experience changes in the movement of trees that seem connected with where I direct my attention. The study asks whether the relative movement of two selected areas changes according to which area I am asked to address.
The Lovefield Project’s public website brings together introductory learning material and early study proposals. We are expanding and refining these first materials while developing tools for recording and analyzing observations. We are currently preparing our first study, on targeted vegetation movement.
Continuing this work takes time: time to practice, prepare studies, work with people, examine what happens and make it understandable to others. Financial support helps sustain that work and the people carrying it forward.
I’m Denis Pingin, a software engineer and energy-work practitioner. I started the Lovefield Project to understand experiences that changed how I see the world, and to develop and share the possibilities I found through them.
Several years ago, at dance events, I began noticing that people’s responses seemed connected with my attention, movement and proximity. Later, I noticed similar patterns while watching live streams, even though I wasn’t sending the other person video or audio of myself. As my practice developed, I began experiencing flows within my body and between me and my surroundings. More recently, I have noticed what seem to be related responses in the environment, like wind, water and clouds.
