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.
