I love seeing conversation around transformation of self and economy...How could they be separate!? How can the leadership we are used to possibly bring us into new ways of doing things?

Perhaps people can stop apologetically writing off their interests as "woo woo" now that they understand they're just New Mainstream!!

Here's to paradigm shifting...even if it feels unsteady at times!

Who are the people of The New Mainstream? What do they want? What do they know? What are the economic, social and political implications of this rapidly-rising tide? I'll tell you why I had to write this. I've encountered a phenomenon that needs t...

A beautiful reminder that we each have a "dark light" to guide us when our usual way of seeing things is not working....

And holy cow, what a gorgeous way to honor those who have gone through darkness this year...

"This is how communities have grown and changed throughout history: as one changes and grows, the greater whole is affected. Thus the dark times were endured both for the sake of the individual’s growth and for the health of the larger whole. Despite what they are feeling in the moment, there are psycho-spiritual gifts for themselves and their people in completing the process."

"The point of recalling the r**e, pillage and desecration of communities as well as the destruction of ecosystems and biodiversity is not to get stuck in anger and hopelessness, but to transcend them through the power of compassion and forgiveness."

I am sitting with, how do we collectively grieve in order to move forward? How do we do it individually? How are we avoiding grieving so we won't have to do a damned thing?!

More scientific data and superficial behaviour change initiatives won’t help, people need to be engaged at a deep emotional, psychological and spiritual level

I am friggin publicly celebrating two separate clients who ran the workshops of their dreams within the past two weeks!!!

There is nothing more gratifying to me than having watched and supported these rock stars and to know that HOLY COW transformation is happening in the Bay Area and Australia because of them!!!

I also have to personally celebrate myself and acknowledge that no matter where life has taken me in the past year, my work still matters.

My heart is full.

Still taking in applications and getting all geared up for the Emerging & Evolving Economies Jam I'm co-hosting in June in the Bay Area....

Perhaps I was a little ambitious when I thought it'd be no problem to fly out there alone with Bodhi and work while parenting...But I guess the new paradigm won't get created on it's own, so here's to optimism and ambition!!!
