Social Permaculture
We need the power of creative and compassionate groups and communities working together to move us toward a more kind and sustainable world. However, maneuvering relationships within communities and keeping them united can be very challenging. In this piece, a life-long permaculturist shares the wisdom she’s gathered from four decades of work with intentional communities and groups of changemakers. She shares, “My practice of permaculture informs my approach to social design and conflict, and my understanding of group dynamics informs my practice of permaculture.” { read more }

On Discerning Your Purpose & Letting Your Life Speak
“‘Someone has a great fire in his soul and nobody ever comes to warm themselves at it, and passers-by see nothing but a little smoke at the top of the chimney,'” young Vincent van Gogh wrote in a letter as he floundered to find his purpose. For the century and a half since, and undoubtedly the many centuries before, the question of how to kindle that soul-warming fire by finding one’s purpose and making a living out of meaningful work has continued to frustrate not only the young, not only aspiring artists, but people of all ages, abilities, and walks of life.” In these excerpts Parker J. Palmer explores how to navigate this mortal maze with grace. { read more }

Why Are We Thinking All the Time?
|
| We accept our over-loaded, hyper-active mind as being normal. This insightful film gently suggests otherwise and illuminates a path that has been walked for thousands of years as a way to remedy this common headache. Brian Jones recommends that we design our inner environment, just like we renovate and refurbish outer environment. He elaborates further by sharing the positive and universal effects you will create by simply choosing to participate in the inner-evolution. "Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing him or herself" – Leo Tolstoy |

Annie Dillard: On Seeing
“When I was six or seven years old, growing up in Pittsburgh, I used to take a precious penny of my own and hide it for someone else to find. It was a curious compulsion; sadly, I’ve never been seized by it since. For some reason I always “hid” the penny along the same stretch of sidewalk up the street. I would cradle it at the roots of a sycamore, say, or in a hole left by a chipped-off piece of sidewalk. Then I would take a piece of chalk, and, starting at either end of the block, draw huge arrows leading up to the penny from both directions. After I learned to write I labeled the arrows: SURPRISE AHEAD or MONEY THIS WAY.” Writer Annie Dillard shares more on pennies, life and the richness of seeing. { read more }
