Yesterday one of my Spanish connections told me about Hope - The Series https://hopetheseries.vhx.tv/, by Javier Pena Has any one here seen it? To me it sounds like it's more inclusive (17 countries covered) and focuses more on hope and positive stories. Specifically the last episode that says: This chapter highlights the critical role of indigenous communities and the urgent need to eradicate gender inequality to regenerate the planet and address the climate crisis. Would love to hear if anyone has seen it and what they thought

Having worked in wetlands and water resource conservation for 6 years my radar has always been tuned to sustainability and even more so to regeneration. While sustainability focuses on maintaining balance and preventing harm, regeneration goes further—restoring, renewing, and enhancing ecosystems, communities, and systems to thrive beyond their original state. Which is why this interactive Regenerative Paradigm Map created by Dr Vanessa Taveras-Dalmau on 14 Sep 2025 retained all my attention. The Regenerative Paradigm Map (see the link below) has 7 core principles, 33 themes, and 253 specific elements detailing regeneration’s ‘what, why, and how’. The seven themes are: 1. Start with inner transformation (this occupies 13 of the 33 themes and is by far the most important) 2. Adopt pluralistic, post-capitalistic economic models (5 themes) 3. Practice participatory and ethical governance for regeneration (2 themes) 4. Put community first (2 themes) 5. Work with place as living (2 themes) 6. Use systems approaches (2 themes) 7. Learn from existing regenerative practices or complementary approaches (7 themes) Without wanting to simplify the breath of this research I am truly inspired by the inner development work that we have cut out for us! The 13 themes of Inner transformation include: Elevate your consciousness, integrate diverse knowledge, embrace a new mindset, shift to an ecological worldview, embrace a different discourse, honor negative emotions, channel positive emotions, embrace new leadership, develop new values, acknowledge your inner compass, develop multi literacy, develop soft skills, nourish people and place connectedness. Each one is explained in greater detail in the interactive map and our job is to bring this alive in our work to shift the discourse. It's a lot to digest for sure, but nothing this complex is going to be easy. We in this community are the one's who are helping to create shifts and bring about change.

👉Reflections on how a school in Nigeria balances strong religious traditions with respect for freedom of belief and interfaith dialogue. 👉Exchange of experiences with student mentorship programs, exploring both successes and challenges in creating supportive peer networks. 👉Insights on the role of spirituality in personal growth and leadership development, including practices like meditation, prayer, and reflection. 👉Discussion of personal empowerment, with participants sharing books and ideas that explore cycles of history, prosperity, and transformation. 👉Plans for an upcoming conversation linking decolonization, with a follow-up session on "Why Nations Fail".

Hello! Is anyone organizing a local watch party with your community? I’d love to exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations.

Thank you all of you who joined our Caux Debrief today. Below is the summary of what emerged from our conversation (summary is AI generated ;-) The recent IDG Caux Forum follow-up session offered rich reflections, questions, and ideas for advancing inner development in our work and lives. 🌀 Personal Growth & Purpose - Andrea shared how the summit, though intense as an introvert, helped her gain clarity on connection, courage, and next steps to increase her impact. - Zora, in her first meeting, emphasized the need to embody the IDGs—especially the being dimension—through inner listening and silence which Smruti also echoed. 💬 Forum Takeaways - Catherine appreciated the practical tools offered but asked how we can implement IDGs more fully in the workplace. - Rukmini and Barry expressed strong interest in the decolonization of the IDG framework. - Stefan joined with his daughter, was inspired by the workshops and wants to bring the tools into art education. - Virginia shared her intent to deepen impact - Lisa is eager to integrate IDGs into her practice. 🛠️ Implementation & Community Learning - Koenraad found the forum energizing and practical but noted the need for stronger facilitation and more context when introducing multiple frameworks. He also hopes future gatherings are more accessible and affordable. - Chris didn’t attend the Forum, asked how to support the broader consciousness movement—flagged for a future discussion. - Alain shared how his local group in Brussels fosters both local and global connection. 📚 Frameworks, Inclusion & Future Collaboration - Meg and Sarah explored creating more independent, inclusive inner development frameworks—moving beyond Western-centric models and encouraging participants to generate their own solutions. - The inclusion of children and global South voices was highlighted as a strength. ✨ Key Themes: - Embodying the IDGs through silence, presence, and practice - Bridging being and doing - Decolonizing inner development - Fostering inclusive, accessible, and community-driven spaces
