I am Jeanne. I own Caribou. I share Caribougrid.com and Caribou with my long-time close friend Angelic Ronin. She is absent. My former partner and good friend Andron Rae still comes in to help me.
Caribou is my life. For over 15 years I have been working on it almost every day.
When I worked around the world I spent lonely hotel nights here.
In the long years that I fought my two cancers I was here every evening after my radiation. When medication made me sick i came to my islands.
I am still not on the clear. I need Caribou as much as ever.
My dear friend Veritas McMaster made me understand how important our experiences in the metaverse can be. I miss Veri so deeply. You will find many sites in Caribou that celebrate her and her work for all of us.
When we come somewhere in these grids, we look around. Is it nice? Is it beautiful? Is the building or the lake or the environment interesting? Do I want to see more?
Caribou is not different. I try to give attention to details. Do you still want to explore is my question?
Still, you look at us from the outside. It all changes when you enter the scene.
Your thoughts, opinions, memories, dreams - they are with you. Your sadnesses and your joys, your fears and hopes?
I am not the only creator anymore. You create the scene and experience equally much.
Veri told me how virtual worlds affect our brains. She lead me to the link between experiences and neurological health.
Veri came from Second Life. SL friends recommended to seek me up in Caribou.
Caribou was then where she received the AVs that she was helping. They went on to different adult grids for private housing.
Until Veri tragically passed away we worked together on her project.
Veri knew that experiences in adult grids can very different. They can heal but also create suffering.
Neuroscience tells how our brains work. Scientific advances show us how our feelings affect our brain.
I was socially excluded and bullied in the OS world myself. I wrote in opensimworld.com how it hurt my real health.
Angelic and other friends helped me back. A difficult time followed. I am still not completely healed.
I know now how effective and dangerous social exclusion and harassment can be. I am a strong person. Still it hurts me sometimes.
But I was privileged because I could read and learn about this.
Others are maybe not. Some are alone, some not well, or young lonely adults seeking their place in our worlds. For them exclusion and bullying is a real danger. And it is inhuman. Makes me upset, yes.
We don't always realise this in our virtual worlds.
Ihave dedicated Caribou to the road that Veri showed me. I am still far from done. I want everyone to feel equally welcome. To be what they want to be. Where nobody is left out. Where there is no bullying. And where a beautiful and inviting environment inspires to everyone. This work is on its way.
I don't prescribe anything. My intention is just to tell what I do in Caribou. All others do things their own way. This is ours.
I want to show that there can be a way back.
Caribou cannot offer professional help. Maybe we can suggest where to seek it. But we can be here for everyone.
Caribou is my life and my love. Like a Tiger Mama I hold on to my world.
Hugs, Jeanne Lefavre
