— A new scientific story by Brian Swimme’s
. . . with short videos, discussions, and exercises through which we will explore our evolving understanding of our Global Consciousness Together.
Our objective for this series: To create sacred responses to the overwhelming ecological and social challenges of our time.
About Active Hope . . .
Active Hope is not optimism.
But like yoga or meditation, it is a practice; a practice of not withdrawing from the massive challenges of our time, but finding energy and answers by being present. We will use Joanna Macy’s Active Hope practices and learn more about what she calls “The Great Turning.”
About Cosmic Dialogue . . .
The Human Energy Project has put together a series of videos facilitated by Brian Swimme, an amazing cosmologist. He will help us explore the stunning revelation that we humans are part of what has been called the “noosphere” or Global Consciousness. All of these stunning new insights require dialogue on how we each fit into this Noosphere, Planetary Consciousness, and Great Work,
Let’s celebrate our capacity for sacredness not cynicism!
