what’s this blog about?

In the spirit of a meandering walk in the woods, A Divergent Wood is a thinking place for me to consider ways doing things differently. I missed an internet space that felt like mine, where I wasn’t pressured by an algorithm to post constantly. I wanted a space to work through ideas in my own way and at my own pace. As a person with late diagnosed ADHD, I’ve had to rethink my life in many ways. I want to share those thoughts and how I believe they can impact us as human beings on both an individual level and on a societal level.

How do things change when we think of not the environment but our environment?

who am I?

My name is Solomiya. I am 31, of Ukrainian Canadian heritage and supposedly a member of the Homo sapiens species despite feeling more like an extraterrestrial on the day to day. I love good dirt, botany, and taking the scenic route.

I am grateful to reside on the indigenous Treaty 6 lands that gave new lives to my grandparents as refugees. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, and am currently studying a Bachelor’s in Science in Conservation Biology.
