Adventures on Turtle Island

Adventures on Turtle Island

Edit:

Welcome to Turtle Island!

What began as a discussion about personality types based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, quickly found a few of us marooned on an Island in the shape of a turtle (see below), in the South Pacific. We are currently having all kinds of adventures using our MBTI types to work out what might happen. If you're looking for some light-hearted fun, everyone is welcome to come along to stay or just visit. (You can get an idea of your MBTI here if you're interested.) Recently we found a (non-existent) suggestion box on the Island, we think it's come from an elusive island neighbour, so you're welcome to just fly (or swim) past and drop us some suggestions too.

Niqueeta wrote a fabulous prelude to Turtle Island here:

Turtle Island : The Night Before

Spookytookims has written some awesome episodes which can be found here:

The First Morning

Turtle Island episode 2

Turtle Island episode 3 (this one even has pictures!)

Turtle Island episode 4: Shipwreck Salvage

Turtle Island: The Lurgi Strikes (part 1)

Turtle Island: The Lurgi Strikes (part 2)

We now have a welcome sign which is also our Island flag:

And here we are in a message in a bottle on the sand as drawn by Lil-Caterpillar!

Here are some views of our Island - isn't it spectacular?!

Looking forward to bumping in to you!

This is how it all began....

****************

Personality and what makes us us is something I find really interesting and I think there would be a few of us out there who share that interest.

@Spookytookims and I were having a chat about MBTI and the differences in our 'types'. I've found myself pondering what factors in our personalities might influence our interactions and the way a deeper understanding of people may improve communication. I like thinking about what makes two or more people 'click' or not.

While it's difficult to imagine the world being split into a small number of personality 'types', I am interested in what different personality tests offer us in terms of gaining insight or understanding.

Maybe an interesting discussion if anyone wants to join 🙂

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Hey @CheerBear, @outlander, @Appleblossom, and fellow Turtle Islanders. Can we light the candles and get the bon fire going again? I just want @Spookytookims to know we're thinking of them, we care, they're not forgotten and they are wanted. They have every right to feel their feelings, and it may be wisdom that has them stepping back.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I love log seats around a bonfire, @Former-Member just be careful the swinging chair isnt too close or it might catch alight. @outlander

How much time it takes to process stuff .. is variable.

How much distance and space we need .. is personal.

I find when I start to get close, my anxiety and ALL my hopes are opened up again and then I get frightened of rejection. I am learning my style, needs space, time and togetherness.

@Spookytookims was a breathe of fresh air .. Wind From the Sea

@CheerBear like delicate lace curtains

@Phoenix_Rising craving structure and form symbolised by a window frame.

All fully singular and part of the whole.

Hope you all can take my ideas with a spirit of hope, peace and harmony.
