Is the boom in communal living really the good life? | The Guardian

19 January 2021 Leave a Comment

The Findhorn Ecovillage is among the communities featured in this exposé by The Guardian... "Driven by green concerns, house prices, the desire for a simpler existence – and now Covid, too – there’s been a boom in communal living. "It’s a pattern echoed across the UK, with communes reporting being inundated by new applicants of all ages, driven by the Extinction Rebellion movement and its focus on low-carbon living and, more recently, by the glimpse that lockdown has offered of simpler, less … Continue reading

A Call to Reverence | Charles Eisenstein

10 December 2020 Leave a Comment

"Reverent communication carries the awareness that one is addressing a sacred being. It is not the same as solemnity; it includes humor, playfulness, and ease as well. "To maintain reverence means noticing habits of polarization and judgment that arise in the presence of difficult information or difficult emotions. Even a community conceived as a sanctuary will inevitably mirror the divisions and conflicts of the outside world. The answer is not to avoid them or to plow them over with … Continue reading

Coming in from the lost islands of desiccated individualism ~ John O’Donohue

5 November 2020 Leave a Comment

Our world desperately needs to come in from the lost islands of desiccated individualism and learn to stand again on the fecund earth where vibrant and vital interaction can happen between people. Our world is facing so many crises ecologically, economically, and spiritually. These cannot be overcome by isolated individuals. We need to come together. There is incredible power in a community of people who are together because they care, and who are motivated by the ideals of compassion and … Continue reading

What Now? | Nora Bateson

21 October 2020 Leave a Comment

In the forest, boots crunching, tree tops sweeping in wind. Silence is not silent. The season is revealed in the wet soil and yellowed leaves, but time is an abstraction. Transformations are now everywhere all at once. Intimate and global, mental and environmental, economic and political. There is rigor needed to pay careful attention to this. Yes, it requires effort to look beyond the crises into the conditions, and to do so in detail. Before that effort is brushed off as unreasonable there … Continue reading

Conscious Evolution Podcast with Robert Cobbold

24 September 2020 Leave a Comment

“AN ANTIDOTE TO MEANINGLESSNESS” I believe that Conscious Evolution is not only humanity’s best hope of surviving the huge challenges we face, it’s also a roadmap for how to find meaning in life. ~ Robert Cobbold Today many people find themselves without a story that can point to their place and purpose in the universe, and yet can withstand the test of rational scrutiny. The mental health crisis isn’t just a medical crisis. It’s a crisis of meaning. All of us are different, and so all of us … Watch video

Moving From a You-or-Me to a You-and-Me Paradigm | Lynne Twist

24 June 2020 Leave a Comment

As a person who's been an activist for my entire adult life, for five decades, first on the transformational work that needs to be done to end world hunger, I discovered through that window that the key intervention is the empowerment of women and girls. This became a throughline throughout the decades of work that followed, and continues to this day in my work to raise human consciousness through both the State of the World Forum and the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and more recently working … Continue reading

When Humanity Comes Together As One

25 November 2019 Leave a Comment

What would the world be like for future generations if humanity united as one, undivided by our ethnicities, our religions, our borders and our cultures? It all begins by spreading our compassion outwards and expanding our circle of “we.” "This virtue, one of the noblest with which man is endowed, seems to arise incidentally from our sympathies becoming more tender and more widely diffused until they are extended to all sentient beings." ~ Charles Darwin In this 8-minute video, Vishen Lakhiani … Watch video
