It’s About Critical Connections Not Critical Mass

16 February 2017 Leave a Comment

It's always about critical connections." ~ Grace Lee Boggs "Connection to others is important in many aspects of life, from establishing a sense of self to securing basic safety. In this piece, Curtis Ogden shares the story of a couple who discovered this truth while hiking in the mountains of Nepal during … Continue reading

11 September 2016 Leave a Comment

In Social Permaculture, we look at how this same principle can be applied; occasionally it is necessary to shake things up a bit in order to get a fresh look at things. "One of … Watch video

Kosha Joubert: The Power of Community

20 May 2015 Leave a Comment

By coming together in community wherever we are, we can support one another's potential, dreams, visions and imaginings. Kosha is President of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) and Executive Director of … Watch video

We have three chances to change the world for the better in 2015

18 April 2015 Leave a Comment

"In the year that world leaders will meet three times to set goals for sustainable development, planetary boundaries can frame our choices. "We live in an era of great contrasts. Never before have we faced catastrophic environmental risks on a planetary level, and seldom has there been such potential for innovation to allow us to avert serious risks and transform the world. Decisions made now will have profound impacts on the Earth for centuries to come. This calls for a new logic; abundance … Continue reading

Restorative Narratives: Defining a new strength-based genre

16 February 2015 Leave a Comment

"What if the news media covered stories of recovery and resilience as much as they cover stories about devastation and despair? "This question has been central to our recent work at Images & Voices of Hope (ivoh) and aligns with our mission to strengthen the media’s role as an agent of world benefit. We’ve coined a term — Restorative Narratives — which describes a genre of stories that focus on recovery, restoration and resilience in the aftermath, or midst of, difficult times. This genre … Continue reading

Powerful Music Video – Naima Shalhoub Sings The Ferguson-Gaza Blues

31 January 2015 Leave a Comment

"What would life look like on the streets if we held each other up across our differences? "I wrote this song in August for the people in Ferguson, Gaza and elsewhere rising up against horrific racial injustice, and for those that continue to grieve, rage and rise. As an artist I'd like to make it clear that the tragedies in Ferguson and Gaza are not isolated nor limited to these regions, but are parts of a greater evolution of racism that continues to isolate, confine and destroy lives and … Watch video
