Concerned about global warming, NASA climate scent Dr. Peter Kalmus cut his emissions to below a tenth of the US average, and found that this made his life more interesting, satisfying, and joyful — not less. He now does everything he can to spread this message and to help humanity transition away from fossil fuels.
In this presentation, we will discuss the nature of spirituality, self-care, and how we maintain our inner health to feed our action in the world and make us more effective agents for change. The presenter, Jul Bystrova, is a Holistic Healing Practitioner, Ordained Interfaith Minister, longtime community organizer/activist and holds a Masters in Philosophy.
In this tele seminar, we’ll look at deep resilience, the constellation of internal qualities that enable us to both “weather the storms” and mature into well-balanced human beings. During the last four decades, Rebecca Blanco has served as an eco-centered psychotherapist, presented an array of personal growth workshops, and completed a Masters and a Doctorate.
Please join us for a webinar with psychologist and economist Per Espen Stoknes, author of What We Think About When We Try Not to Think About Global Warming. We’ll talk about the five main psychological barriers to climate action and how to use that understanding to create positive, meaningful actions that can be supported even by deniers.
It takes a lot of personal mastery and self hosting to stay present, creative, engaged, centered, brilliant and talking during these times. Teresa Posakony will share strategies and techniques that she has learned and developed while working to reduce ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and toxic stress generation to generation in her home state of Washington.
Living in Relationship in a Community is a lot of hard work. It is, however, beautiful work that transforms our inner lives as we build resilient communities together. After all, using relationships instead of currency is the most powerful tool we have to transition our world into a more fun, just, and equitable place.
There are four major stories about the future in our news, books and films. The one that is most rare is the one we most need. And many of us are living more than one at the same time, contributing to the sense of confusion.
There are two kinds of movement for change active in our world right now. Activists for social and environmental change focus on the big picture, society’s systems for living and the outer world. The personal growth movement focuses on healing and strengthening the personal and inner world of mind, feelings and body. Each has something to offer the other – and when a Transition group can include both it has the best chance of success.
Many great visionaries of our time have been reminding us that the outer shifts we are working so hard to achieve in the world are rooted - and must be supported - by inner shifts... That we must be and embody the change we are seeking.
