Restoring Ecological Balance with Duane Elgin and Daniel Christian Wahl

Chief Seattle once said, “All things are connected. What befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth… Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” Restoring ecological balance begins with regarding not only the earth, but the entire universe, as alive and conscious.

Building a Global Community and Culture of Peace with Dr. Kurt Johnson and Rev. Deborah Modow

“Peace may seem an elusive concept in a world with horrific violence, brutal conflict, and exploitation, yet never in humanity’s history has such a comprehensive map of peace emerged as is now evident… What we call a culture of peace comes from a whole-systems perspective, which sees all things as interconnected and influencing each other. We are increasingly aware of our interconnectedness and interdependence, and we act accordingly.” These are the words of James O’Dea from the book, Our Moment of Choice. Today, we are going to explore how YOU can build a global community and create a culture of peace with Dr. Kurt Johnson and Rev. Deborah Moldow.

Trauma Has No Color with Dr. Marty K. Casey

Hurting People Hurt People. Trauma, when left untreated—unhealed—eventually manifests itself in continued expressions of trauma. It’s cyclical. And yes, we have experienced not only personal trauma, but cultural and collective trauma. Systemic racism is an expression of very deep, generational and wide, cultural and collective, trauma. What if these wounds of separation are at the core of many of our systemic issues? Would you do your work to heal trauma? Healing systemic racism is for all races, and trauma has no color.

A New Republic of the Heart with Terry Patten

In the midst of today’s global crises, many of us are disheartened. We recognize the need for radical change, both in ourselves and in our social and political institutions, but we don’t how to enact it. Terry Patten provides a practical approach to “being the change” that begins with the individual and yet can affect the whole system, as inner and outer transformation are entirely interdependent. Wholeness has potent agency. In our age of fragmentation, the most subversive things we can do are to embody love, integrity, and practice.

Terry Patten speaks and consults internationally as a community organizer, philosopher, and teacher. Over the last fifteen years he has devoted his efforts to the integral project of evolving consciousness through practice, and facing, examining, and healing our global crisis through the marriage of spirit and activism.
