An Important Message from the Tree Spirits via Dorothy Maclean

28 October 2020 1 Comment

Findhorn Foundation and Community Co-founder, Dorothy Maclean, recalls an important message for humanity and the Earth which she received from a small cypress tree in the garden at the community in Findhorn. We come in with a lordly sweep, for we are not just the small trees that you see in your garden. We are denizens of magnificent spaces of great hills in the sun and the wind. We put up with being hedges, but always in our inner being it this growing toward the open sun-kissed places where … Watch video

How surely gravity’s law ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

20 October 2020 Leave a Comment

How surely gravity’s law, strong as an ocean current, takes hold of even the smallest thing and pulls it toward the heart of the world. Each thing- each stone, blossom, child – is held in place. Only we, in our arrogance, push out beyond what we belong to for some empty freedom. If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making and struggle, lonely and confused. So, like children, we begin again to learn … Continue reading

World on Fire ~ Charles Eisenstein

28 September 2020 Leave a Comment

"Brazil’s Pantanal is the world’s largest tropical wetland, covering an area nearly the size of Britain. Only today, it isn’t so wet. After a summer of drought, catastrophic fires are raging that have devastated 2.4 million hectares of land already this year. (That’s more than has burned in California, Oregon, and Washington combined.) Its precious wildlife, including the world’s largest population of jaguars, are suffering irreparable damage. "What’s causing the destruction? The proximate … Continue reading

Reverence ~ Charles Eisenstein

23 September 2020 Leave a Comment

“Reverence brings courage. Reverence brings knowledge. Reverence brings skill. Reverence brings healing. It is the fulcrum of the great turning of civilization toward reunion with nature. Today the word has religious connotations, but this is not the kind of reverence that worships an idol. It is the reverence of the lover who looks into the eyes of the beloved and sees infinity.” ~ Charles Eisenstein Photo by frank mckenna on Unsplash Continue reading

From Emergency to Emergence | David Korten

4 May 2020 Leave a Comment

"The COVID-19 emergency has exposed our societies’ failure to address the needs of billions of people. Simultaneously, we are witnessing a fundamental truth about human nature: There are those among us eager to exploit the suffering of others for personal gain. We can be reassured, however, by how few of them there are. Their actions contrast starkly with the far greater numbers at all levels of society demonstrating their willingness, even eagerness, to cooperate, share, and sacrifice for the … Continue reading

What if we survive? | Charles Eisenstein

16 December 2019 Leave a Comment

We keep hearing that human extinction is possible in our lifetimes. That if we don't change course quickly, de-carbonise our economies, plant trees, and suck carbon from the air, that human civilization could end. But what if that's not true? What if we can survive? What kind of world are we summoning? A concrete world, or a living world? Cut from 'Easter Island, Population Overshoot, and a Global Choice', by Charles Eisenstein. Edited by Matthew Neary.

29 May 2019 1 Comment

"I've known about the groundbreaking work of Australian eco-philosopher Glenn Albrecht for quite a while, and had eagerly awaited his new book, Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World. It is exactly what I expected: readable and hopeful journey that offers a practical path out of the current malaise and alienation from nature from which numerous people are suffering. "As Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle, notes in his endorsement, "Glenn Albrecht is one of the most important … Continue reading

Signs that Humanity is Returning to Loving a Living Earth | Charles Eisenstein

20 May 2019 1 Comment

"I see a lot of encouraging signs that civilization is returning to an understanding of a living Earth. One of the most hopeful is the permaculture and regenerative agriculture movement, which is not anymore about how do we extract what we want from the land, but how do we take care of the soil and how do we take care of the community of life, knowing that if we do that, it will take care of us too? But really oriented, not just on yields or what we can measure, but it is very much grounded in … Watch video
