Today during our discussion the question that generated a wealth of perspectives was "When you’re in a group, how do you tend to affect who feels free to speak? Think about the power you carry, whether it’s your title, your experience, your confidence, or your voice, and ask yourself: whose silence might you be contributing to without realizing it?" That question generated reflections on 🥕 Supporting organizations who are truly working for the betterment of society and the environment. ☮️ The responsibility we have to listen first before sharing what we know with humility. The conversation touched on: 🫣Being an incognito healer, 🌱The importance of soil health, the work of Sadguru in Tamil Nadu, 🚰 the World Water Community asewage systems that create clean water for a fraction of the cost. 🫀Early childhood care, indigenous knowledge, a biocentric approach, thinkers from the South 🤠Power dynamics. ✨The session ran way over time and I'm inspired and grateful to @Lars-Erik Einevik @Martha Llanos and @Marvin Maneve for taking the time to think together. Next Tuesday Nov 10 @Emma Pearson will be joining us to discuss her new book - Still Fire Inside, you can find the link in our calendar.

Authenticity has been on my mind lately. It's one of my personal values, and I'm curious about what it really means to live authentically. As an educator and coach, I've listened to many people who have spent years pursuing external achievements. For some, achievement was how they learned to receive love, acceptance, or recognition. So they followed that path, often becoming very good at meeting the expectations of others. Yet, over time, many begin to long for something more: a deeper sense of personal fulfilment, purpose, and connection with who they really are. I've seen how self-reflection, new experiences, and frameworks like the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) can help people reconnect with themselves. One person, for example, found that combining self-reflection with life as a digital nomad helped them experience more joy and less depression. But becoming more authentic isn't always easy. It can mean finding the courage to speak our minds, even when we fear rejection. It can mean navigating group situations where we feel we don't quite belong, questioning the expectations we've been living by, or searching for a sense of purpose that feels genuinely our own. So I'm curious: How authentically do you feel you're living today? 🗳️ Choose the option that best reflects where you are right now.

Hey everyone! 👋🏼 My name is Laura, I am from Argentina. I lived in Washington DC, 🇺🇸 for 10 years and I recently moved back to 🇦🇷. I crossed path with this community through Online Facilitation Unconference. I have +15 yrs working as a leader, workshops facilitator and coach for cultural change. I've worked with teams distributed in different continents (Europe, Asia and Americas). Right now, I’m working as a Conscious Leadership Coach. I understand leadership as a process for developing oneself and being an inspiration for others to awaken consciousness. During a sabbatical time, I led an emotional education program for young adults between 18 to 23 yrs. ✍🏼 I’m writing and illustrating books for kids. There is one book for each color and I just found out to they guide kids on developing some of the IDG skills. Colorful Droppie can be find in Amazon or digitally. ✍🏼 I have a Substack blog called Conscious Leadership Seeds, I’m writing literary pieces on leadership from my own past experiences and future insights (time travels) on 🌱 What is the next evolutionary step of leadership? 🌱 ✍🏼 I’m writing other stories that I called dharmic ones. They are not following the hero/heroine journey, which assumes an inner journey through suffering or battles between good and bad. 🌱 In this new way of writing stories, a group is the principal character and they develop their inner wisdom through the story without suffering, but activating their inner knowledge and complementing each other instead. 🌱 I’m writing this new type of stories, because there is no story that shows us how a harmonic future looks like, everything is utopian or dystopian, which keeps humanity in the same loop over and over again. 🌱 Stories have a lot of power over the unconscious of Humanity. If we don’t change the way the stories are written, the collective unconscious tends to repeat the story again. There is an Universal calling to change the story, this goes beyond humanity’s evolution, but humans and this planet play a key role into the whole.
