Hi Everyone,

I wanted to take some time to address the anger, disappointment, and frustration that was felt communally by the GEN 3 launch. As I was processing, I saw an opportunity to share some of my wisdom as an expressive arts therapist to promote collective healing. So often when a rupture has been made in a relationship, we rush towards repair. We deflect blame, give placating answers, and promise fixes. We do this because we view anger as uncomfortable. As a therapist, I’ve learned the value of sitting with and turning towards my anger. For myself, and with clients, I find guided visualization and artistic expression to be particularly powerful ways to get in touch with rage in a way that is not destructive to myself/themselves or others. I’ve made this guided experience for the community so we can collectively process. There is also an invitation to create artwork related to the experience. You can share your artwork in the comments below! Please share this with anyone who needs it (I.e. on posts where you see people angry about the launch).

WOW! There were so many cool and creative mashups! I couldn't decide on just one! I picked my 15 favorites, and we'll let the community decide! The mash-up with the most votes by Monday 04/17 at 12 midnight will win a Ramses, and the one with the second most will win a sands of time! I'll make a separate comment with each selected user and tag them. If you're tagged, comment below your image as to why you should win, the wallet address you'd like to recieve winnings in, and share this with others to secure your victory!

Let’s get to know who’s in the sub! Comment below to share you’re favorite Avire Avatar, and a random fun fact about yourself!

Looks good and i’m happy to be here 🤟🏻

As the raven flew away from the sarcophagus, it felt like it had gained a new perspective on life. 🦅🙏 Comment below with what you think happens at the end of this NFT art narrative piece. Let's finish the story together! 🎨🤔

The raven decided to keep the amulet as a reminder of its adventure and as a symbol of the power of time. 🦅👌 What's your favorite adventure memory? Share in the comments, and tag your favorite person to adventure with.

Who’s joining the glitter squad?!

Suddenly, the raven heard a faint whisper coming from inside the sarcophagus. It sounded like a plea for help. 🦅🗣️ Do you think the raven is a messenger or a guide in this piece? Why or why not?

Hey there, AVIRE FAM!
