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

I’m offering a special fall edition of Listening to What Is Changing on September 17, in recognition of the Global Day of Listening. It’s a 75-minute pause to listen to what may be changing in our lives—and, inspired in part by the Pachamama Alliance’s Earth Listening Circles, to widen that listening to include the living world and the season we’re part of. If you’re navigating a transition, sensing something shifting, or simply longing for a little space to listen, you’re warmly welcome. September 17 · 11am PT · Zoom · Complimentary https://goldenthreadcoach.com/events

Where do you find yourself in this moment of systems transition? Are you pioneering the new? Hospicing the old? Supporting the in-between? Systems change happens in an uneasy space—between what’s fading and what’s yet to fully emerge. While we see glimpses of a regenerative future, extractive systems still dominate. So, how do we navigate this transition? 👉 Enter the Berkana Two Loops Model Developed by The Berkana Institute, Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze, in the '90s this model maps out how systems change. As one system declines, another slowly emerges—not through sudden transformation, but through intentional transition. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the old system doesn’t go quietly. So, who drives the transition? 🚀 Pioneers emerge first, those brave enough to experiment with new ways of thinking and doing. Without connection and support, those pioneering voices can easily be drowned out by the dominant system. THIS is why community matters. Pioneers need networks—to share, to connect, to recognise they’re not alone. 🤲🏽 Protectors, meanwhile, are those working within the current system—they nurture the new ideas, they carve out space for them to grow. But it's not only about innovation. Some fulfil the role of hospice workers for the old system—gently guiding it to a close while composting what’s worth keeping. 🌱 It’s about holding onto the best of the old, while gracefully letting the rest go. Where do you find yourself in this moment of transition? What would your role be within the Berkhana Two Loops Model? Let us know in the comments! 🌍✨ Thank you commonland for the reminder!

This is one of so many projects of indigenous stewards caring for the Earth. It holds a special place in my heart and I wanted to share it with you. I’ve always been in love with trees, especially old ones. In this 5-minute video, Inside Kanaka Bar’s Conservation Plan: Protecting Rare Ecosystems & Indigenous Culture, hear from Kanaka community members as they discuss their vision and the ecological and cultural significance of this protected area initiative. This project is on the west coast of Canada in British Columbia. What projects that care for the Earth do you hold close to your heart?

IDG holds a promise… something it stands for… and that emanates from it... that makes many come to it… what is it?... Maybe it does not matter... maybe what matters is 'how is it living up to its own promise?'... Inner Development... but anyway, what is it? ...what is this promise for you?
