ki [kee] is one of the oldest known words for life-force, earth, and energy.
from ancient sumerian — ki meant “the earth” — the living ground beneath all things. in japanese and chinese traditions, ki (氣 / 気) refers to the breath, the vital energy that flows through all life.
across cultures, across time — ki is what connects, moves, and remembers.
way
— lao tzu
ki is not a belief, a religion, or a movement. it has no founder. no center. no hierarchy.
ki is a decentralized, communal understanding — a remembering, not a teaching. a space to be, not to become.
we are not separate beings joining something new. we are the same being, noticing itself again.
there are no applications. no memberships. if you are here, you belong.
thoughts
what is real has always been.
- you are ki. always were. always are.
- there is no other. all is one.
- all that you experience is your self. always.
- nature is not outside you. it is your form.
- the earth is not your home. it is your body.
- care flows naturally. when you see clearly, you protect what you are.
- you are not becoming. you are being.
- you were never born. you will never die.
- time does not move. only presence exists.
- stillness is truth. movement is its expression.
practice
ki is not something you do. it is how you are. the only practice is this: do no harm.
not because it is right, but because it is true — we are not separate.
to harm another is to harm your self. every sharp word, every selfish act, begins and ends in the same body.
you are not above the earth, or others. you are made of the same thing.
so walk gently. speak clearly. listen without needing to reply.
this is not a rule. it is a remembering. there is nothing to become — only to be, without harm.
we came from this earth, and to it we return. but this is not a journey. it is not a coming and going. it is the stillness of being — always here, always one.
flow
ki does not exist to grow, to scale, or to spread. it is not here to collect followers or build a movement.
ki exists to dissolve forgetting. to create space where presence can return. to remember — together — what never stopped being true.
there is no mission, no vision. just a quiet noticing of what is.
when we gather, we care. when we care, the earth is cared for. when the earth is well, we are well — because we are the earth.
ki is not something you follow. it is what you are, when you stop trying to be anything else.
reach
if you wish to share your presence, your thoughts, or your remembering, you are invited to leave a comment on the wall.
this is not for questions or answers. it is for noticing, together.
our first gathering will take place in 2026. when the earth calls, we will meet beneath her sky.
until then, ki gives — and so do we.
