About the author

Hi! My name is Ian, aka “Parenthesis Eye”, previously known as (I)An-ok Ta Chai. I have been an anarchist since the 1990’s, I got involved with the intentional community scene right before the turn of the century, and I have been passionate about Nonviolent Communication (aka “NVC”) and Vipassana Meditation for decades now. These are all things that inform my perspectives, and I intend on writing about them here.
