Humanity Rising Day 8
Future is Origin — YINVEST in systematic healing for a new prosperous Earth
Normally speaking, we all know what successful investing looks like. We can measure its success according to financial rate of return, value created, or even “impact” metrics referring to a social good. But what about those things we cannot measure? To accommodate these, we have coined the term “Yin investor” or “Yinvestor.”
A Yinvestor is not just a woman doing the kind of investing that men have traditionally done. It is someone, often but not necessarily a woman, who is part of shifting the whole investment paradigm to embody more traditionally feminine or Yin values which align with the natural rhythms and cycles of nature.

When the crisis subsides, we might have occasion to ask whether we want to return to normal, or whether there might be something we’ve seen during this break in the routines that we want to bring into the future.”

Crowdsourcing and Regenerative Business
- Epi Ludvik, CEO, Crowdsourcing Week
The Race for Mindshare
Crowdsourcing Collective Consciousness for Super Intelligence
In the recent years, AI development has quickly accelerated and is finally making its way into our lives in the form of self-driving cars and smart personal assistants. As AI gets more and more reliable, people are slowly overcoming their suspicions towards it and embracing it as a part of their day-to-day lives. With adoption rates soaring, now is the correct time to switch the focus of the debate to Moral Machine Learning: which ethics do we want machines to have? And how do we bestow these values onto them? Welcome to the Information Age.
- Marcello Palazzi, Co-Founder, Now Partners
Building A Regenerative Economy
A central challenge for business is to move from sustainability to regeneration of the Earth and human communities. The damage that has been done by the capitalist economic system over the past decades and centuries has been so extensive that living sustainably is no longer sufficient. What is necessary is an economy of renewal, of regeneration, of reinvigoration. This requires putting improved human well being and renewing the health of our natural ecosystems as the focus for economic growth, not the accumulation of capital and investor returns.

Dialogue with Rollin McCraty, Director of Research, HeartMath Institute
Dr. McCraty will discuss the Global Coherence Initiative, which explores the interactions between humanity and the earth’s energetic fields. Examples of research conducted in our laboratory confirms that the heart radiates a magnetic field into the environment, which can be detected by nearby animals or the nervous systems of other people. New data will be shared on how people are far more interconnected with each other, and the earth’s magnetic field environment than previously imagined. What this means is that creating coherence influences people and the larger ecofield.
Dr. McCraty will be joined by Claudia Welss and Teresa Collins, Co-Conveners for the Global Coherence Project.

Money (still) rules the world - Move your savings and start making demands
Many banks and funds offering ”impact” funds and products that are supposedly contributing towards the Sustainable Development Goals. As we at Impact Invest analyze the details of these products and funds, we find that few are in fact investing in the solutions that help progress the SDGs before 2030 and the Paris agreement. The solution providers still get a very marginal slice of the money invested.
Why is the banking sector and capital markets so slow to change? In part, they say that investors and pension savers still care less about the environmental and social impact, than financial returns. As long as the financial metrics are valued higher than other performance metrics, not much will change. As the mass market is starting to become more financially literature and question how pension savings and investments are managed, we see a shift towards better options.
This round-table will discuss what needs to happen in the financial markets and what solutions exist that are make better contributions to the SDGs. It will provide practical suggestions for what anybody can do to ensure that you put your money where it has better chances of doing good for people and planet, whether you are an active investor yourself or use a bank.

Weaving Community in a Fragmented World - Inspirations and Challenges from the Global Ecovillage Network
Ecovillages embrace the concept of ‘luxurious simplicity’, celebrating and recreating low impact lifestyles that expand a sense of care, responsibility and interbeing. Ecovillages are hot spots of regeneration - of the social and cultural fabrics that weave our belonging, of economic systems that are fuelled by care rather than profit, and of the ecosystems that safeguard the abundance of life.
Join us to learn about the pain and joy of weaving community in a fragmented world.

Humanity Rising Day 41
How a WholeWorld-View Can Empower Transformational Change
Leading-edge science is converging with universal spirituality, revealing the integral nature of reality and illusion of separation. A panel of global change-makers explores how this wholeworld-view can empower transformational change.
Until recently, mainstream science has considered the seemingly separate and material appearance of the universe as being its essential, and sole, reality. Now, a fundamentally different understanding is emerging. Leading-edge science across all scales of existence and across many fields of research is revealing that mind and consciousness aren’t something we have – but rather what we and the whole world are. This new wholeworld-view paradigm converges with profound spiritual insights and experiences of all ages and traditions. It sees the physical realm as the manifestation of a deeper, unified, in-formational reality. This integral model invites and empowers a renewed realisation of the inherent sanctity and universal worth and value of all existence. Crucially, it offers meaning and purpose to our existence, and that of our entire Universe.
Unity awareness understands the ultimately unified nature of reality. But that it also expresses itself through radical diversity, not homogeneity; through unique individuation and experience and collective inclusivity. Coming together as a species – not only to understand, but vitally to experience and embody such unity awareness – would transform how we relate to ourselves, each other and our planetary home in every way we can imagine, and with love, not fear at its heart. It would honour the power of unity consciousness to catalyse radical and transformational change.

Dialogue with Elisabet Sahtouris, PhD
The pandemic has originated out of nature. Humanity has been brought to a standstill by a microbe. The pandemic thus challenges us to understand afresh our relationship with the larger ecosystem, otherwise our civilization will founder and our species could become extinct. We are honored to dialogue with Elisabet Sahtouris on these matters. She is an evolution biologist who has studied natural systems for decades and consulted with governments, business and NGOs.
She will share her vision of how we can attain sustainable health and well-being within the larger living systems of Earth and the cosmos.
She has appeared in films including Occupy Love, I Am, Femme, Love Thy Nature and Money & Life. Her books include EarthDance: Living Systems in Evolution, A Walk Through Time: from Stardust to Us, Biology Revisioned (with Willis Harman), and Gaia’s Dance: The Story of Earth & Us.

Education for a New World
The current educational model is totally dysfunctional. If you think about it, every sector of society has changed with the progression of human history, except education. Medicine, economics, technology, culture, art, spirituality have all evolved. Education has not. Students are compelled to attend class, take notes, memorize information, take tests, just like in ancient China and Greece. What is urgently needed is a radically new way of learning, one that is not based on competition but collaboration, not about memorization but about wisdom, and not about degrees but about competencies. Education must be integral, uniting the head, heart and hands so students have the mindsets, skillsets and toolsets they need to live abundant lives and come together and solve critical global challenges.

Transformations in Learning in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) World
Human knowledge is doubling every 12.5 minutes. Two thirds of the jobs 10 years ago don’t exist now and two thirds of the jobs now won’t exist in 10 years. We are in a world of hyper complexity where small events everywhere can ricochet through the global system and have major effects everywhere in unpredictable ways. The coronavirus pandemic is an example of how interconnected and unstable the world is. How we redesign education and learning is a critical challenge because the emerging generation and learners everywhere need new mindsets, skillsets and toolsets to navigate an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.

Embracing Doughnut and Regenerative Economics as pathways to a Better Future
COVID-19 has opened a unique opportunity for the adoption of new economies throughout the planet. There are clear signs that change is happening and we need to generate collaboration to promote the transition and the co-creation of a better future. In April 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, the Amsterdam City Council voted to embrace Doughnut economics to shape Amsterdam’s post pandemic future. In June, the city council of Copenhagen committed to turning into a Doughnut City - a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Dozens of other cities and towns worldwide have indicated they are also interested in embracing Doughnut economics. Additionally, there are a range of other economic models are emerging that are supporting regeneration of planet and people, all of which replace Gross Domestic Product and capital accumulation with human wellbeing as the central focus of policy and ecological systems and constraints as the framework for action. These commitments demonstrate very exciting and bold examples of leadership in how we can transform the crisis of the pandemic into an opportunity for human renewal.
Today begins a seven-day program to explore the economics of the future.
Convener:
- Eduard Müller, President, University for International Cooperation
Eduard will provide an overview of current planetary conditions, especially focused on the planetary boundaries which are challenging human affairs with a closer look at the 4 planetary boundaries which have been exceeded. He will Introduce regenerative development as a solution, based on the experience of Regenerate Costa Rica.

Fundamentals of Doughnut Economics
Imagine a doughnut. Doughnut Economics makes humanity's aim to leave no one falling short in the hole in the middle, without overshooting the outer-ring of Earth's life-supporting systems. The challenge is to develop human wellbeing -- not profit or GDP or trade -- as the central focus of economic and social progress. The Doughnut model is compelling and globally scalable. It can be embraced by an individual, a household, a community, a city, a country, a region, the world. All of us everywhere can put human wellbeing at the center of all we do and develop wellbeing within ecological systems and constraints. Through the work at the University we can use the Doughnut to compare countries at a glance. It is as beautiful as it is simple.
We are honored to have two of the foundational creators of Doughnut Economics join us today to speak about the fundamentals of Doughnut economics and lay out those cities and communities that are coming together to embrace human wellbeing aligned with ecological systems as the central organizing principle for the human future.
Presenters:
- Kate Raworth, economist and author of Doughnut Economics

Alternative Economic Systems
We have other powerful initiatives such as John Fullertons’ Regenerative Economics and Finance, inspired on the fact that the universal patterns and principles the cosmos uses to build stable, healthy, and sustainable systems throughout the real world are a model for economic-system design based on key, interconnected principles that underlie systemic health. “Economic vigor is a product of human and societal vitality, rooted in ecological health and the inclusive development of human capabilities and potential.” John’s work on Regenerative Capitalism is based on how these universal principles and patterns will shape our new economy.
Christian Felber’s Economy for the Common Good is a social movement advocating for an alternative economic model for people and the planet. It calls for working towards the common good and cooperation as value above profit-orientation and competition. ECG is an economic model, which makes the Common Good, a good life for everyone on a healthy planet, its primary goal and purpose. At the heart of this concept lies the idea that values-driven businesses are mindful of and committed to human dignity, solidarity and social justice, environmental sustainability, transparency and co-determination allowing these to gain a competitive advantage in this new economy.

Innovative Approaches to Generative Economics
The Generative Economy is a term coined by Marjorie Kelly to define "a living economy that is designed to generate the conditions for life to thrive, an economy with a built-in tendency to be socially fair and ecologically sustainable."[1]
Generative economy attempts to reorganize the purpose and structure of an organization, to the extent of being self-organized around serving the needs of life. Generative economy is based on designs that are rich in biodiversity, not monoculture. Examples[2] of these types of organizational designs are employee ownerships, cooperatives, credit unions, community land trusts, co-housing communities, community wind, family-owned businesses, and foundations-owned companies. Its goals are to create fair and just outcomes, benefit the many rather than the few, and enable an enduring human presence on the planet Earth.
The recent launch of Seeds is rapidly gaining traction for transformation; a digital currency and financial system that serves, rewards and finances the people and organisations committed to creating a healthier and more equitable planet. It is a revolutionary new way to distribute value to initiatives that deliver favourable outcomes for environmental & societal regeneration.

Wellbeing Economy Alliance
WEAll is the leading global collaboration of organisations, alliances, movements and individuals working together to transform the economic system into one that delivers human and ecological wellbeing. It is vital that collaboration and togetherness define our destination and also how we get there. The transformation required calls for an entirely different way of being within human society: a shift from “us vs. them” to “WE All.”
A crucial role for WEAll is providing the connective tissue between the different elements of the movement for a wellbeing economy. WEAll is driving forward and coordinating ambitious work to shift popular narratives around the purpose of the economy, synthesize and disseminate knowledge and evidence about what a wellbeing economy looks like and how we get there, and galvanize a non-elite power base through place-based hubs and a global network of individuals and organizations.

Bouncing Beyond
We close the series of webinars with two recent initiatives. Bounce Beyond’s action plan is developed in collaboration with the Global Assessment for a New Economics. GANE is a parallel 18-month research program, that began mid-June. GANE will produce a Global Assessment policy report to create a regular progress process similar to IPCC assessment reports; a set of change pathways and priorities, in order to develop new economies, and; infrastructure in terms of new networks and working groups around particular priorities and issues. BB will identify 10 emerging Next Economies Community Transformations (NECTs) and bring them into a ‘fractal’ relationship. This means being able to see the common patterns their formations display and sharing those commonalities to stimulate similar pattern matching across the planet.
The central fact we must all confront is that humanity stands on the precipice of self destruction as climate change and a range of other global crises spin out of control. How we work together to transform the crisis the pandemic represents into an opportunity for human and ecological renewal is the most pressing challenge in the world today.

They will share personally about their work, what most challenges and what most inspires them, what brings them hope and ways people can take action and join them in transforming our nuclear legacy.

A Crucial Time of Choice
- Anne Baring, author, The Myth of the Goddess, The Dream of the Cosmos
This talk offers an archetypal overview of why the current crisis has come into being, showing when, where and how the masculine and feminine archetypes became separated and why this matters.
This virus carries an urgent message for us to wake up to the small window of opportunity we have to change course before it’s too late. This means change in every sphere of life: change in politics, economics and business practices; change in the very concept of what it means to be human and living on this extraordinary planet — change above all, in our relationship with the planet.
Healing Humanity; Healing the Earth
- Sailesh Rao, Director, Climate Healers
Unlike past inflection points in human history, this one caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has not just exposed fault lines in human society, but also those in our relationship with animals and Nature. This calls for a fundamental rethinking of our global industrial civilization to bring it into alignment with sustainable values of truth, freedom, equality, kindness and compassion. However, as Buckminster Fuller said, "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Transform yourself. Transform the world: A Panel Presentation from Naropa University
When was the last time you turned your attention inward with regard to the world’s most pressing problems? Naropa University, long considered a birthplace of the modern mindfulness movement, champions a view of societal transformation that starts within oneself. Their tagline, “Transform yourself. Transform the world,” summarizes this view, and raises provocative questions about the relationships between inner and outer experience. How might genuine honesty with our personal embodied experience provide insight into skillful ways to engage with others? How does our willingness to witness the pain of others impact our sense of self? In this panel, Naropa teachers and scholars will share how they understand the connections between internal change and external action, as viewed through a variety of lenses, including mindful embodiment, compassion training, neuroscience, and eco-philosophy.

Stop Global Warming and Use the Heat
In this session, engineer Tom Hopkins discusses two things: how to quickly stop global warming — we do not have much time before we suffer significant tipping points — and how to ramp up the production of clean energy by using the extra heat that is now in the oceans — opening the door to clean and rapid industrialization of undeveloped countries. Tom has had a long career as a Chartered PE (Australia), focussed on creative engineering. in the 1960s, he designed "Australia’s most daring building” in the 1990s he designed an underwater treadmill on which Olympic gold medalists trained. In the 2010s, he developed the world’s most efficient electric motor and now he has designed the Ocean Heat Pump to extract heat (clean energy) to replace fossil fuels (dirty energy).

Dialogue with Brenda Dunne
How Interconnected are we? The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research and its Implications
Over a period of 28 years Brenda Dunne and Bob Jahn carried out experiments at Princeton University to explore how people interact non-locally with the world around them - from picking up information to impacting otherwise random events with their intention. They proved beyond statistical doubt that we do indeed interact with information non-locally. In this dialogue, Peter Merry and Brenda Dunne will explore what the research actually tells us and what the implications are for how we see and interact with the world around us.
Hosted by: Peter Merry, Chief Innovation Officer, Ubiquity University
Speaker: Brenda Dunne, President ICRL, former Lab Manager at Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research, author

International Day of Peace — Youth from around the world come together
Today we will focus on an extraordinary gathering of youth around the world to commemorate the International Day of Peace observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peaceful collaboration, both within and among all nations and peoples.
The coronavirus disease has added a new dimension to Peaceday 2020. For the first time in history, people all over the world are having the same concerns about how we rebuild the world beyond the pandemic.
Young leaders from 96 cities are now stepping up to the challenge. On 19 September 2020 they will come together, online and onsite, to take counsel on how we can turn the crisis of the pandemic into an opportunity for global renewal.
The Global Youth Assembly will open at 9am and close at 7pm in 4 different time zones. Inspired by the Doughnut Economy model, the dialogue at the 12 virtual tables will focus on the burning question:
"How can we meet the needs of all - within the means of the planet?"
The conclusions from the assembly will be handed over to the UN on September 21, 2020.
The epicenter of the event will be YOUTH ISLAND - a former sea fortress located a short sailing trip from the UN-City in Copenhagen, where 11 UN organizations are collaborating across sectors to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Since the fortress was handed over to the Danish Scouts five years ago, it has been transformed into a unique gathering place for young people from all over the world.
The Peaceday 2020 live event on Youth Island will be connected to local gatherings in the participating cities via live-stream. Music and dance contributions, celebrating peace and cultural diversity, will be weaved together with video greetings from supporters of the event.
The event will be produced by Citytransformers (a non-profit association focused on empowering urban communities to transform our world) in collaboration with DEAL (Doughnut Economy Action Labs) Ubiquity University (an accredited global university designed for social impact), MasterPeace (a youth driven NGO with 55 clubs in 40 countries), AIESEC (the largest youth leadership movement organization in the world) Peace Child International (an organization that over the past 30 years, has tapped into the energy of millions of young people in 183 countries) MINDPOOL (a platform for harnessing collective intelligence) The Hague Center for Global Governance Innovation and Emergence, UNITY Earth (a global movement for Unity and Peace on Earth) and Humanity Rising (a network of more than 400 NGO’s representing +10 million members to date).
A group of 12 high profile thought leaders will be invited to join the event as mentors, supporting the young delegates throughout the process.

The Rise of the Green Swans
Just last year, CEOs and business media like the Financial Times called for a “reset of capitalism” – now it's happening in real time. We have entered an historic U-bend that is upending business-as-usual, even change-as-usual. Or not. Nassim Nicholas Taleb insists COVID-19 isn't a 'Black Swan', because the risk was foreseen. Black Swan or Gray (foreseen). In this session, our speakers plan to inaugurate a 'Green Swan' era of exponential progress toward a green, inclusive recovery.

The One and the Many
Peter Merry hosts a dialogue with British philosopher Tim Freke on the nature of reality and his thoughts on people’s responses to the corona crisis. Tim is the author of bestselling books such as “The Jesus Mysteries”, and was recently voted Kindred Spirit’s Mind, Body, Spirit Writer of the Year. Peter and Tim will explore some of the challenges the spiritual community has had with responding to the corona crisis in both a grounded and compassionate way. With them both being well versed in Ken Wilber’s work and developmental theories, it promises to be a broad ranging dialogue of deep inquiry. In Tim’s language, the challenge is 'Individuals Evolving into Unividuals’.

Donald Trump and the Upcoming US Election
The United States is descending into a Constitutional crisis as the November 3 election enters its final month. President Trump is in the process of staging acoup d'etatso that whatever the election results, he will stay in power. Trump and the Republican Party are declaring in advance that the elections will be fraudulent and therefore the courts must decide. This is the logic behind the recent attempt to eviscerate the US Postal Service so that mail is slowed, disseminating fake news that the elections are corrupted, encouraging Trump voters to actually create confusion by voting twice, and replacing the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the Supreme Court with yet another arch conservative before the election. An article in The Atlantic just published last week lays out Trump’s strategy, already in motion. The world and all Americans need to understand the gravity of the Constitutional crisis engulfing the country and what we can all do about it.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is the leading conservation organization working in nearly 100 countries to create a world in which people live in harmony with nature. Jan recognizes how our broken relationship with nature is directly impacting the emergence of new, infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Deforestation, the inefficient use of land for food production and the unsustainable trade in wild animals are all to blame. We have an opportunity to reimagine a better world – a world where we decrease the likelihood of future zoonotic disease outbreaks, protect nature, and look after one another. WWF has taken this on via their new long-term global health campaign, For Nature For Us.

Elsie and her team walk shoulder to shoulder with the movement-makers and disruptive business innovators transitioning from profit-primacy to wellbeing for the web of life today.

Now, with democratic capitalism over-ripe for a systemic flush, she shares some guideposts to help folks prepare for the coming waves of change. Chief among these is to Repurpose the Marketing function, and to empower the cultural shift to System Identity. All while society collectively explores a new equilibrium in the wobbly line between profitability and love of the whole living system. The SoulBranding℠ System lends stability to this chaordic process: for the individual leader and for the whole stakeholder ecosystem. Does Your Business Have a Soul?

Radical Regeneration: A Dialogue with Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker
"We are truly living in dark times. More accurately, we are living in times where the darkness is emerging from hiding in the shadows and is becoming visible. Current political and social events are the manifestation of a deeper process that has been brewing in the cauldron of the collective unconscious of humanity for many years, perhaps even from the beginning of our appearance on this planet. It is easy and very seductive to become overwhelmed with pessimism, despair and depression during these times of darkness, which, sadly, would be to unwittingly feed and collude with the darkness. Our situation is dire, but there is no need for pessimism. To quote a popular saying on the French left, “The hour calls for optimism; we’ll save pessimism for better times.”
In this session, we will explore the book Radical Regeneration: Birthing the New Human in the Age of Extinction by Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker. This is no magical thinking, New-Age, feel-good book that tells us that everything is going to be OK and that we are all going to live happily ever after. On the contrary, it looks at the impending self-created catastrophes that are converging on our world with the spiritual wisdom born of eldership and deep self-inquiry. Uniquely synthesizing the profane and the sacred, Radical Regeneration is that rare and much-needed book that combines a sober, honest, open-eyed confrontation with the darkness that’s befallen our world, while—at the same time—viewing the collective nightmare we are experiencing through the mystical lens of our intimate connection with the divine. Radical Regeneration is a beacon of light in a time of great darkness."

Systems design for a world with a future
A world with a future needs new models, new maps, new mindsets. How can we create new models of enterprise and redesign education?

Christine is a thirty year applied student of the work of R.Buckminster Fuller. Syntropic World is an answer to how we create business for a world with a future, inspired by Fuller’s quote, "Don’t try and change the existing system. Build new models to make the existing system obsolete." At Syntropic World we apply the laws inherent in nature to enterprise design and human co-ordination. This includes legal, governance, accounting for value, currency, provisioning, leadership, communication. A global community of practise building new models, new maps, new mindsets.

Humanity Rising Day 109
From Kailash to Davos, Planetary Pilgrimage for Protopia
Post- COVID Mainstream society is starting to acknowledge the inter-connected nature of the planet’s vital eco-systems, spiritual heritage and indigenous cultures as protectors and guardians of sentient life. Yet how do we mobilize latent forces into interconnected action among culture, continents & communities continuously? As the ancient bookTao the Chingsuggested: A thousand miles towards the Tao world begins with single steps of prototyping. Instead of dreaming of the final destination of perfect Utopia, it is time to constantly patch bugs and update iterations embracing Prototopia.
Started from Shamhbala Pilgrimage in Mt. Kailash with sacred rocks and inspired art-pieces gifted as offerings to the world, the Open Mountain Social Art Pilgrimage (OM Project) travels to sacred sites, intentional communities and hives of learning around the planet, celebrating harmony in diversity while weaving planetary culture with expanded awareness.
The session will start with a ceremonial call to action uniting through the heart with Mother Gaia and future generations. OM Project Seeder and Founder of Davos BlockBase Trust Yanling Duan will convene a panel of spiritual activists from Auroville and around the world to consecrate our time together.

Humanity Rising Day 111
Through our Dark Night to a New Day: Our Social and Spiritual Journey in a time of Crisis
Many of us have been talking about the tools, resources and knowledge necessary to live on this Earth in a way that is more in harmony with life, but what does that really mean on a personal and interpersonal level? What are the nuts and bolts of this inner work, especially as we go through this time? In this talk, we will be discussing the importance of seeing the shadow of our extractive systems for what they are, and how we have been part of them-- and the invitation that lives within our own heart to invest in a different way of living and being. This journey is both intensely personal and yet collective--it requires a passage through our own dark night, to tend to our trauma, and a sorting through of what is false. But this is also a collective 'dark night', a passage towards potential new ways of living on the Earth. Most of all, it is a journey to love and healing. Our emerging, regenerative "social permaculture" must be built on this soil, what some call "zone zero". What are ways we can support each other and ourselves in this journey?

Integral Transpersonal Education
- Regina U. Hess, Sara Gambelli, Zhu Caifang, Pier Luigi Lattuada
Integral comes from the Latin integrum, from in, meaning “not” and tang-ere, meaning to touch: not touched, nothing has been taken away, where nothing is missing, full, pure, honest, uncorrupted. The transpersonal approach proposes a new innovative way of thinking which transcends the dualisms of the rational mind and includes the larger ecofield beyond the individual person. It is supported by unitive consciousness, an intuitive, new way of being. This unique synergy can grasp the unity beyond dualisms. In a dynamic world, the combined approach of integral and transpersonal brings the proper tools to move with pure intent and an open mind, unified and interconnected, while knowing and respecting the laws that regulate it.

Humanity Rising Day 114
Bouncing Beyond to a Regenerative World
Preparing humanity for co-creating solutions to manage oncoming challenges
This is a weeklong program Oct 12 - 16 convened by Bounce Beyond, Regenerative Communities Network, Ubiquity University and University of International Cooperation
Overview
In the face of the pandemic, people everywhere are waking up to the true size and depth of our multiple crises. Many are talking about ‘bouncing back’ to our pre-COVID ways of working. But there is growing demand to dramatically move on from the system that led us into these crises and to bounce beyond to a potential flourishing future. The path is through regeneration, the approach is holistic, integrating environment, society, culture, economy, politics and spirituality. Disciplinary approaches and thinking under the current paradigm will not allow us to transition to a better future. We still have a huge opportunity to reverse the destructive pathway we have chosen by using Nature’s example to rethink our development patterns and build a better model, leaving the old one obsolete (B. Fuller). This creates true hope for a future of abundance and wellbeing. In order to do this, we need to co-create solutions through global to local collaboration.
This requires rethinking education and designing learning strategies that will allow anyone to transition to regenerative actions, no matter the field of expertise. We have organized a truly disruptive and inspirational event on Humanity Rising where everyone is invited to join in a global co-creation process. This is the continuation of Humanity Rising sessions 63 to 69 in July but now we bring Nature as our inspiration and mentor to regenerate business, education, bioregions and the world into a 3d horizon of prosperity and wellbeing. The purpose is to prepare humanity to bounce beyond with tools that enable us to transition to 3H through Nature-based processes and the homeostatic equilibrium of femenine and masculine energies in a deep-deep collaboration process.
Goals
-
To sense, feel and understand the emergence of the 3H by listening to the source; our Mother Earth.
- Reconnect to and understand our relationship with nature to be able to accelerate regenerative thinking and practices.
- To bring Nature’s genius into the transformation of all systems
- To offer education paths to build our capabilities for Regeneration.
- To bring clarity to the regenerative processes and skills through facilitation and mapping.
- To create a feedback loop with the listeners to enhance our common goals.
Facilitation
We propose an innovative facilitation for the week, bringing the dance between Feeling-Imagining-Thinking. The essential elements that will foster the emergence of a new perspective in real experience, in practical examples and in dialogue. We will have a reconnection process followed by a a conversation with key speakers held by a circle of wise women and men.
Everything will be integrated by methods of harvesting the discussions with open virtual spaces to share information and contacts, hoping to connect more people than the zoom attendant’s questions. These will create feedback loops with the listeners and enrich the conversations. This information will be digested and presented the next day.

The Future of Impact Investing
Impact investing is hot. With an estimated $715 Billion USD, it is the fastest growing investment segment worldwide. While it is now finally in the limelight, it has been around for a long time. In this session, we will explore the rise and developments as well as some innovations that will help even further embed impact investing and impact-driven businesses further.
Panelists:
- Cecile Bilious from Pitango Capital and Global Impact Tech Initiative - a pioneer in this space, an impact investor since inception 20-30 years ago. She will focus on the development over the last decades.
- Michelle Thimesch from Crowdfund Mainstreet - with experience in the crowdfunding space, she's now developed an 'exit-to-community' offering helping local business owners retire without losing a valued community centre in the form of a new type of ownership.
- Luni Libes from Fledge and Investerflow.org - Luni has been pioneering revenue-based financing for impact-driven companies for over 8 years and has now developed an offering called Africa Eats where through smart structuring the companies and owners of a portfolio of african companies can invest in longevity of companies and ensure Africans can prosper as much as the investors.
- Elianne Oei from EPIC hub - Elianne and her global team of co-founders are focused on accelerating impact through democratizing investments and bring impact-driven founders and investors together through revenue-based financing, and empowering founders and investors alike with the power of networks and the crowd to maximize impact and share in collective connections.

NextGen Roundtable: Global Spotlight #1
In this session, Ubiquity's NextGen Team will hear from four of our international NextGen Leaders who are working on a variety of different projects from around the world. We will learn about initiatives related to legal justice, social media regulation, social entrepreneurship, and circular consumption taking place in Sri Lanka, the United States, and beyond.
Participants:
- Aritha Wickramasinghe, Director - Equality Law, iProbono. iProbono is a network of lawyers that provide access to justice to those who are denied it. We have access to a network of nearly 80,000 lawyers in 39 countries. His blog post can be found by clicking here.

This has had serious consequences, shaping not just our personal lives but also our political lives. How can we hold big internet companies accountable to their commitments? How can we regulate content on social media platforms while leaving room for frank and open dialogue? How can we think of new ways of governing these digital communities without further empowering authoritarian rulers? Can the internet be used to drive meaningful social change beyond just “feel good” hashtag activism?
- Jack Policar, COO Phood. Jack has spent the last 8 years working at early-stage startups including Ubiquity University. His main focus has been on go-to-market strategy including marketing, branding, sales and partnerships. He has a deep and resolute mission to create a positive impact in the world with his main focus being on mitigating climate change and creating a sustainable future.

What is a modern-day Monastery? A beacon of light and a catalyst for powerful transformation
A panel discussion from The Monastery, Manchester UK
Twenty-four years ago, the Pugin-designed Franciscan monastery in Manchester, lay derelict and was listed as one of the 100 most endangered sites in the world by the World Monument Fund in New York. It was listed alongside The Taj Mahal, Macchu Picchu and the Valley of the Kings, leading to its nickname as Manchester’s Taj Mahal. Today, this stunning, fully-restored masterpiece on this sacred site is rising to serve its highest purpose. The Monastery, Manchester stands as a beacon of light and a powerful catalyst of transformation.
In 2021, the modern-day monastery will be re-launching with its powerful new vision as the beating heart of Manchester, a city sanctuary for peace and a global centre for the celebration of life. Boldly stepping forward with a voice for transformation and a clear vision of human renewal in a post-covid world the panel today will present key ideas that are central to our vision. These include; values-based education and the inner curriculum, the renaissance of the spirit and the sacred solution, nature, reciprocity and human potential, sacred union, radical forgiveness and internal family system and the rise of community, wisdom, compassion, resilience and sovereignty
Participants

Humanity Rising Day 124
Art and the Revolution:
We are in revolutionary times. We are no longer in an era of change, we are in a change of eras. Virtually every sector of human concern is in the process of radical change. It is in these times that art bursts forth with prophetic clarity to both reveal the challenges and to point to solutions. This has been ever so. During the French Revolution, it was the opera that was fomenting revolt. In the Russian Revolution, it was poster art. Today, art is multi-dimensional and very social.
In this session, we will talk with three social artists —
- Sally Annett, an artist, producer and author with a specialist interest in collaboration at the intersections of art, science and language, who just completed the exhibition ‘LOCKDOWN 2020’ which focused on COVID, breath and breathing with several international artists.
- David Pearl, opera singer, business consultant who has used artistic expression in his work with companies worldwide and is the founder of Street Wisdom, which empowers ordinary people to see wisdom in their ordinary lives.
- David Woolcombe, social activist and founder of Peace Child, which for decades sought to wake the public up to the nuclear weapons threat and the imperative for peace.
- Esperide Ananas, a member of the Damanhur Community in the Italian Alps which has been part of one of the most extraordinary artistic expressions in modern times — the creation of a massive and complex Temple to Humankind carved out of solid rock inside a mountain.

2. Romain Vaktilibar, Founder Pathos Labs
Romain spends my life at the nexus of media and behavior change. Founded in 2016, Pathos Labs was conceptualized to serve as a laboratory, where different media interventions, rooted in the latest research, would be tested to assess the role that media and technology can play in engineering new norms that predispose us to compassion over divisiveness, to nuance over oversimplification. Structuring Pathos as a laboratory gives us permission to dare greatly, where at the worst – we add to the body of knowledge, and at the best - we set a precedent for what’s possible.
3. Sam Sweet, Founder Eswatini Bridge Program
Sam is a recently-graduated civil engineering student from the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the founders of the Eswatini bridge-building program. He joined CU’s chapter of Bridges to Prosperity as a sophomore with hopes of utilizing his engineering education to make a positive difference in the world. After experiencing the need for bridges in Africa and building his first bridge in Bolivia in 2016, he got the bridge bug and became the leader of the Swazi Program. Against all odds, Sam led the CU team to successfully complete the first project in Eswatini in 2017.

The Consequences of the US Presidential Election
Eve of the Election
The US election on Nov 3 is one of the most consequential in history. Democracy itself is under threat, especially in in the United States and by no person more than President Donald Trump. Since he took office in 2017, Trump has presided over the most corrupt Administration in American history, perverted the major institutions of government, especially the Justice Department, and has been mounting increasingly effective attacks on the electoral process itself in order to ensure his continuation in power. Whether or not he will succeed will largely be determined by what happens this week as the people vote and the votes are counted or not.
As the longest continuous democracy in history, the fall of democracy in America would have consequences far in excess to any consequences we face with the COVID pandemic. The pandemic will eventually pass but if Donald Trump succeeds in ending any semblance of meaningful democracy in the United States, the reverberations globally would be severe and long lasting. Authoritarianism would surely triumph. With the powers of surveillance inherent in social media and the internet, government and corporate power would be unchecked and tyranny could shape global politics for years to come.
Each day from November 2 - 6, we will follow what is happening and bring in commentators who can help us understand the significance of the events.
Today we will hear from Shelly Alcorn, COO of Ubiquity University, a scholar of totalitarianism who is a close observer of politics and culture in America. Each day, Shelly will bring us updates on what is taking place as the election unfolds.

Breakthroughs in Physics and Cosmology and the Rise of a New Story for Humanity
Physics and cosmology are undergoing another Copernican Revolution as fundamental as when Nicolas Copernicus in the original revolution in the 16th century proved that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of our solar system and that the world was round, not flat. As the implications of this began to reshape the scientific worldview, scientists tried to articulate a theory of the universe “without the God hypothesis,” as the astronomer Laplace put it to Napoleon during the Enlightenment. Thus emerged a theory of being that understood matter as dead and inert, bound by impersonal chemical process and operating completely by random chance. This is the equivalent to believing that the earth is flat. Now bursting through the explorations of physicists and cosmologists the world over is a deeper understanding that space is alive with energy, intention, intelligence, and information and that evolution is conscious, intentional, regenerative and collaborative. All of the cosmos is being understood as a single information sharing intelligent unfolding drama of consciousness. Right at the moment when our theories have brought us to the brink of extinction, believing we could desecrate and pillage the earth as if it didn’t matter, science is discovering that the earth is actually Gaia. She is alive as our Mother and we are her children.
This session will explore the implications of this for our lives and the human future.
Panelists:
- Jude Currivan, author of The Cosmic Hologram, is a leading explorer of the new sciences and their implications to how humanity should align itself with natural systems. She is the co-author of the new book Our Moment of Choice.
- Jean Houston, author of a new book with Anneloes Smitsman called Future Humans on the implications of the new physics for the human future, is a leading figure in the human potential movement who has traveled worldwide developing social artistry and empowering women.
- Ervin Laszlo, founder of the Ervin Laszlo Center for New Paradigm Research, is one of the leading public intellectuals of our time, having written over 90 books on philosophy, cosmology and the new physics with attention to ecology and the implication of a universe that remembers and is alive with intention.
- Anneloes Smitsman, founder and CEO of EARTHwise Centre and co-author of Future Humans, and leading explorer of the cosmic architecture of life and the new paradigm sciences. Also author of Love Letters from Mother Earth. She is passionate about love in action and the design and empowerment of new forms of leadership and service.

Trump’s Obstruction of US Presidential Election
The US election on Nov 3 was one of the most consequential in history. It was also the largest voter turn out in history and one of the most fair and well executed. Joe Biden was elected by a substantial margin. Nevertheless Donald Trump refused to concede the election and has been obstructing the normal transition of power for the ten days. Aided by the senior leadership of the Republican Party, Trump has been sowing seeds of doubt that the election was fair, insisting that he really won and the election was fraudulent despite the fact that there is no evidence to support this. This presents an unprecedented attack on democracy which we need to understand and be vigilant about.
Today we will hear again from Shelly Alcorn, COO of Ubiquity University, a scholar of totalitarianism who is a close observer of politics and culture in America. Shelly will bring us updates on what is taking place as the Trump Administration continues to defy the will of the American people.

Unshackled - How to liberate ourselves from reactive structures of mind
How do we show up under pressure, while stressed, when facing uncertainty or threat? Most of us fall back on a variation of three basic reactive behaviors: fight, flight or fawn - dominate others; avoid conflict with others; or appease others. We all recognize this pattern: something triggered us, we reacted on autopilot and felt regret later. It seemed we did not have freedom in choosing our response. When the going gets tough, most of our actions are governed by conditioned structures of mind. These hardwired habits were formed over time. They used to serve a purpose long ago but no longer help us today. In fact, reactivity often sabotages us in being in real connection with others and/or achieving our goals.
Such a tragedy in today’s uncertain world with so many triggers and so little awareness of our hidden trip wires. How do we become more aware? Why does it often seem we are not in charge of our least desirable behavior? Where does reactivity come from? What is a far more liberating way of being, that allows us to respond with an even temper, clear head and warm heart amidst the greatest uncertainty?
Leadership experts Bob Anderson and Berend-Jan Hilberts will explore these questions in an engaging dialogue.
- Bob Anderson: Co-author of Mastering Leadership, Chairman of The Leadership Circle
- Berend-Jan Hilberts: Executive Coach at Unshackled, former Dean of THNK, School of Creative Leadership

Daniel Ellsberg on Dismantling the “Doomsday Machine” to Avert Nuclear Catastrophe, Whistleblowing and the Future of Our Democracy
Former nuclear war planner Daniel Ellsberg considers the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons and the steps we absolutely must take to dismantle the existing “Doomsday Machine” and avoid nuclear catastrophe. At a time when the world now faces the existential threats of the pandemic and climate change, Dr. Ellsberg will address the most urgent challenges of our time, the defense budget and the true meaning of national security.
As an anti-war activist for the past 50 years and whistleblower who helped bring an end to the Vietnam War, in this conversation with Jim Garrison and Cynthia Lazaroff, Dr. Ellsberg will also speak about the future of our democracy and why he believes whistleblowing is essential for preserving it.
- Daniel Ellsberg is an economist, lecturer, writer, political activist, former U.S. military analyst and author of The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. In 1971, Dr. Ellsberg released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of the Vietnam War to The New York Times, the Washington Post and other newspapers, and the Pentagon Papers played a key role in ending the war. He was charged under the Espionage Act of 1917, and with theft and conspiracy, carrying a total maximum sentence of 115 years. All charges were dismissed.
Dr. Ellsberg has done extensive studies on nuclear weapons and nuclear policy and is a strong advocate for patriotic whistleblowing. He is the winner of numerous awards including the Right Livelihood Award in 2006 “for putting peace and truth first, at considerable personal risk, and dedicating his life to inspiring others to follow his example," and the Olof Palme Prize in 2018 for his "profound humanism and exceptional moral courage."

Bohm, Krishnamurti and the Unity of Everything
Peter Merry hosts a dialogue with British writer, Integral thinker and long-time spiritual practitioner Nish Dubashia on the nature of reality and the relationship between wholeness, multiplicity and fragmentation. Nish is the author of “The Unity of Everything: A Dialogue with David Bohm”, and (under the pen name Nishad Cote) of “Gifted: The Story of a Young Genius” and “Dancing with Angels: One Man’s Search for the Meaning of Life”.
Peter and Nish will explore the work of David Bohm and Jiddu Krishnamurti, and how making a clear distinction between multiplicity and fragmentation can help us to understand some of the challenges the world has had in responding to various crises such as the coronavirus. With both of them also being well versed in Integral Theory and Spiral Dynamics, it promises to be a broad ranging dialogue exploring a variety of subjects. They will also discuss Nish’s “Diamond Model” of Reality that Nish explored with David Bohm in 1991, and how this model finds remarkable parallels in the work of Bohm, Krishnamurti and Ken Wilber, as well as in both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions.

Book of Codes
The latest research into cosmic origins and the structure of the universe is leading to geometry, an insight that the Greek philosopher Pythagoras had 2,500 years ago, that in its essence, the universe is composed of geometric shapes and mathematical equations. Today we explore this insight by examining the Book Of Codes, a thoroughly researched and coherent set of basic geometric principles and structures that together help to make sense of the complexity and scale of our living experience - from the sub atomic to that of the universe. Along the way, new ways of thinking that are both playful and practical will help you find and address the biggest questions we can put in front of ourselves. It helps with relating to, and making sense of developments at the frontiers of contemporary science.
The geometry revealed by the Book Of Codes draws on, and bridges, ideas and concepts from mathematics, biology, art, culture, science, cosmology, philosophy, technology and systems science. It breaks down the barriers between these domains and connects them in new ways. Knowledge of these ideas and concepts is not necessary to start and complete the journey, just an enquiring mind and spirit and an openness to ways of seeing and learning that may be new to you.
- Jim Garrison will be in dialogue with Joe Truss, researcher, innovator and creator of the Book of Codes.

How can Nature's principles of Harmony guide and inform a new way of learning to live?
The current model of education taught across most of the world is still delivered in separate subject silos. We can all appreciate the importance of learning specific subject skills and knowledge, but if learning is presented in such a disjointed way, it can quickly become meaningless and irrelevant. Conversely, when we frame learning around projects or enquiries - big questions - and link learning together, we make learning make sense.
This session will explore how an enquiry based approach to education, underpinned by Nature's principles of Harmony, can provide a new way of learning. These fundamental principles or laws teach us that the natural world works in ways that enable a system or organisation to be healthy, sustainable and resilient. When we understand these principles and what they mean in the context of our own lives, we, too, start to live in healthier, more sustainable ways. We are living in extremely challenging times, politically, socially and environmentally. We need to find a better way of living and working. Nature's principles of Harmony can provide the blueprint to do that and this session will explain how.

Returning to the Root: Contemplation and Stillness as a Pathway of Integration with Mary Magdalene as a Guide
During this first week of Advent, we turn to the theme of inner contemplation and renewal through practices of silence and presence. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, an early Christian scripture recovered in the late 19th century in Egypt and first translated into English in our time, presents a pathway of inner awakening rooted in contemplation, silence and practices of remembering the Good, the True and the Beautiful. We will explore the parallels of this fascinating text with both Buddhism and Neo-Platonism as an invitation to return to our deepest truth and celebrate the some of the many faces of Mary Magdalene emerging through artists of our time that are reclaiming her as a figure of wisdom, blessing, embodiment and healing for both women and men.
With David Cadman, Professor of Harmony at University of Wales and author of Love and the Divine Feminine, Kayleen Asbo, Ph.D is a faculty member of Ubiquity University's Wisdom School and Artistic and Educational Director for Mythica whose dissertation for Pacifica Graduate Institute was Passion and Paradox: The Myths of Mary Magdalene in Art, Music and Culture, visionary photographer Thomas Dodd and the music of Parisian singer Catherine Braslavksy.

Magic at Work - engaging the invisible realms
In this Humanity Rising session Jim Garrison, Jim Hickman and Peter Merry will have a dialogue on the nature of the invisible realms of subtle information and energy. What is actually meant by the invisible realms? What do the wisdom traditions have to tell us about that? How can we work with this dimension of reality to accelerate our positive impact on the world at this time? Jim Hickman will share some thoughts on how the quantum realm and neuroscience impacts and is impacted by the invisible realms. Peter Merry will draw on his new book Leading from the Field that describes a set of principles that enable us to keep the energetic architecture of our homes, communities, organizations and nature aligned and coherent. All three of them work with energetic practices to support the development of Ubiquity University and will share some of those experiences. Join us as we explore how what was often called magic in the past is actually a very real part of our present and critical to successfully navigating the current transition.

This is the first of several Humanity Rising sessions on Climate Change and earth stewardship from the perspectives of the world’s religions. The first session, featuring activists from Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism, focus on preserving/restoring the earth to a healthy state, and religious/spiritual strategies for addressing the current ecological crisis. Future panels will feature perspectives from other faith traditions.

Celebrating Trees: A Dialogue with Clare Dubois
This is the season of trees as we approach the holidays. To honor the importance of trees, Jim Garrison will be in dialogue with Clare Dubois, the founder and CEO of TreeSisters.org, a global women's movement spanning multiple countries that has collectively funded the planting of over 12 million trees.
TreeSisters is a social change movement and a tropical reforestation organization working towards normalizing cultural reciprocity with nature. The aim of both Clare and TreeSisters is to make it as normal to give back to nature as it currently is to take nature for granted, while supporting humanity in its transition from a consumer species to a restorer species.
Before founding TreeSisters, Clare worked internationally for over two decades, coaching business leaders and facilitating group behavior change processes in multiple sectors. Known for her direct catalytic energy, her inspirational speaking and her holistic approach to collective transformation, Clare is a walking invitation to anyone ready to step up and step in on behalf of the planet.

A Salute to Stan Grof on his 90th Birthday
Dr. Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D. is a pioneer, explorer, and world-renowned theoretician and practitioner of the transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. His groundbreaking theories influenced the integration of Western science with his brilliant mapping of the transpersonal dimension. Stan is well-known for his seminal work with LSD as a psychotherapeutic tool, beginning with his first LSD trip in 1943 followed four years later with a 1947 scientific paper that caused a stir in the psycho-science world. His research on and use of LSD in his psychiatric practice foreshadowed today’s recognition that LSD can be effective for the treatment of PTSD.
Stan was the first person to recognize that the results of LSD use for psychoanalysis were the same as what spiritual teachings have shown for thousands of years regarding non-ordinary states of consciousness. This led to his creating an award-winning cartography of the psyche that coined the term “ holotropic" as characteristic of non-ordinary states of consciousness such as meditative, mystical, or psychedelic experiences, all states which aim towards wholeness and the totality of existence.
For the past 50 years, Stan has continued his exploration of the many states of mind that can be explored without drugs by using certain breathing techniques. This holotropic breathwork (Grof® Breathwork) is an experiential method of self-exploration and psychotherapy that combines and integrates various elements from modern consciousness research, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, Eastern spiritual philosophies, shamanism and other native healing practices. Through his Grof® Legacy Training, students can develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in a large category of non-ordinary states that have a healing, transformative, heuristic, and evolutionary potential.
Stan turns 90 this July 1, Ubiquity University is collaborating with Stan and his Grof Legacy Training to celebrate his enormous contribution to the world’s understanding of how each of us can enter transcendent states of consciousness. His research and study have provided us with evidence that these “non-ordinary” states can grant us more robust health, an increased enthusiasm for life, an expanded worldview, and a sense of the sacred that is universal, nondenominational, and all inclusive.
In this session, award winning film director and producer Susan Hess Logeias and Jim Garrison will moderate a panel with Jim Hickman, Professor of Neuroscience at Ubiquity University who has known Stan for nearly 40 years, Michael Murphy, founder of Esalen Institute who invited Stan to develop his holotropic breath work in the 1970s, and Rick Tarnas, Professor of Cosmology and Philosophy at the California Institute of Integral Studies who worked with Stan at Esalen for many years.

Humanity Rising Day 176
Conscious Evolution: Why is it urgent and How do we reach it?
Conscious Evolution is the next step in the evolution of humanity on this planet, a radical transformation of what it means to be human: a shift in our conscious, consciously chosen. None of us can predict what we will look like when we emerge from the complexity of our current system, but each of us can work towards it - in fact, few things are more necessary, more urgent, or more liberating than finding we have agency to change. Today, we will explore CE from a framework of systemic thinking, and as an emergence from the hyper-complexity of our time, before we explore the actual ways we can head close to the edges we need.
Presenter:
- Manda Scott has been a veterinary surgeon, award winning novelist, teacher and dreamer. Her Boudica: Dreaming series of books explored who we were in the lands of Britain before the Roman Invasion laying a path for who we could be. More recently, she is host of the Accidental Gods podcast, and membership program dedicated to the facilitation of conscious evolution: the next step of who we could be. She is a smallholder, exploring the many paths to regenerative ecology, and a screenwriter, endeavouring to create a new narrative of who we could be. She lives with her wife in the edge lands between England and Wales.

Thrive - a deep dive into the movies and movement
When the first Thrive movie was released in 2011 it created quite a stir. People in the consciousness and sustainability movements found themselves torn between agreeing with much of the goals and concepts, and disagreeing with the analysis of the cause of the problems (a conspiratorial elite) and the governance solutions (scaling back government and a radical decentralisation of power). Their questioning of the scale of human impact on climate change also ruffled lots of feathers.
Recently Thrive II was released describing some of the real technologies that could be used to get us through our current transition, and then looking at why they are not in the mainstream yet. The attacks on the UN and the climate movement are toned down, but the essential proposal is still that centralised power in governments and big corporations is the problem, and that “voluntaryism” founded on the “non-aggression principle” is the way to go.
For some people it may sound like a far-out conspiracy theory, but as Joe Martino from Collective Evolution points out, it is important not to dismiss something just because it is branded a conspiracy. He uses the term “conspireality” to urge us on the one hand to be more critical about the evidence behind claimed conspiracies, while continuing to look into patterns that seem to have some validity to them.
In this session, Peter Merry hosts Marshall Lefferts who has worked closely with the Thrive team, to discuss some of these issues and see if we can discover why the Thrive proposals trigger people, what any blind spots might be in the proposals and what the best way might be to relate to the movies and movement.

Revolutionary Love and Prophetic Empathy – A Strategy for Progressives for the Next Two Decades
Join Rabbi Michael Lerner and Cat Zavis, Convener of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, as we explore how we can co-create a caring society - one that centers the needs of people and the planet rather than corporate interests. How might our economic, education, legal, and political systems look if guided by love, generosity, empathy, justice, and peace? We will explore the limitations that social change movements face when they ground their approach solely in arguments of economic entitlement and political rights and the need for a more nuanced, psycho-spiritual analyses of the political landscape, moving beyond materialist-reductionism and shame.

Health and Humanity
This is the first of a series of five webinars examining different aspects of the theme of health in its widest sense, from the perspective of two European health NGOs – the Nordic Health 2030 Movement and the European Health Futures Forum - both committed to supporting social change. The theme is respecting healthcare professionals’ expertise but acknowledging the importance of prevention, promotion of wellbeing and getting the community voice articulated and able to shape the future of health in society.
We start by considering health in the context of society, of communities working together, sharing collective and individual responsibility both to preserve and improve health and well-being but also supporting transformational change within society, for the betterment of the planet, the environment, for our children and for those who depend on us.
Convener:
- Lars Muenter, Director, Danish Committee for Health Education
Presenters:
- Cormac Russell, MD of Nurture Development on Asset Based Community development
- Kristine Sorenson, Director of the Global Health Literacy Academy on the power of health literacy
- Jim Phillips, Director of the Centre for Patient and Community Empowerment on tools to support community empowerment
- Matthijs Zwier, Utrecht HealthPact on Dutch approaches to community action on health
- Cathy Irvine, Deputy head of Communications, The Health Foundation UK on health inequality and its implications.
Organizers
The Nordic Health 2030 Movement (www.nordichealth2030.org ) is a network of 30 or more Nordic organisations supporting better health through an equal balance between care and prevention. They are value driven, committed to trust and openness, creativity and innovation, the concept of individual responsibility and finally, to cultivation: building on these principles through social movements. Represented here by Lars Muenter who leads for Communications as part of his ‘day-job’ on international health projects with the Danish Committee for Health Education, in Copenhagen.
The European Health Futures Forum is a network organisation registered in Ireland, but with Directors and Board reflecting its international focus. EHFF seeks to transform healthcare and improve the well-being of European citizens by highlighting and addressing prominent factors impacting health and wellness. EHFF is also value driven, seeking to address, through the lens of health and wellbeing, issues such as social cohesion, dysfunctional financial models, environmental sustainability and education with an open-source, inclusive and inter-generational approach. David Somekh, Network Director, on behalf of his EHFF colleagues, has co-produced these webinars.

Singing in a Burning World - Peter Merry in dialogue with Songwriter Luke Concannon
In this Humanity Rising session, Peter Merry will explore with musician Luke Concannon the journey of an artist. We will go from Luke's early days of providing inspiration for a young Ed Sheeran, via a number 1 hit in the UK with the JCB song, trips through the Middle East, to the West coast of Ireland and now Vermont in the USA. This journey dips into themes such as how to combine your talents as an artist with the issues you care about as a human being in this world in transition. As a coach for singer - songwriters Luke will also share what he has discovered about how to really unleash your creativity, something much needed in the world at the moment. The journey will be interspersed with a mixture of recorded and live music illustrating the milestones on Luke’s trip to become who he is today.

Humanity Rising Day 212
Deep Agroecology: Our Farms, Our Food, Our Future
Deep agroecology sounds like an abstract or technical concept but it's not. It's as basic as the stuff of life. In a broad sense the term describes you, your relationship with your food, with the people who touch the earth for you to bring forth your food, and with the plants, animals, and soil which make up your life-supporting food web.
We’re living in an era of historic transition. Each person, each household is shaping the present and the future with the money they spend to eat and thereby to support food systems, either good or bad. At present the dominant system is corrupted by chemicals, consolidation, polluting practices, unjust conditions for workers, and miserable circumstances for farm animals. That can all be changed, and millions of people around the world are actively working to change it in positive ways under the broad umbrella of agroecology--clean, just farms and food.
The deep agroecology approach offers emphasis to a subtle dimension, a realm of critical mystery and utmost relevance. In my conception, deep agroecology is our next natural, intelligent, and necessary evolutionary step. As a philosophy and an approach, deep agroecology strives to marry the subtle spiritual realities of human beings and planet earth into a balanced relationship with the gross physical realities of farms, food, and flesh.
Deep agroecology is a philosophical and practical guide to survival, with intimations of destiny and activation of our spiritual potential as individual human beings who are among the collective inhabitants of our earth. Supporting clean healthy farms and food is a high, noble, and heroic calling. It’s especially gallant at this juncture of time and circumstance.
Steven McFadden is an independent journalist and author of a broad range of non-fiction books on farms, food, community, and global wisdom ways. He's also the author of an epic, online nonfiction saga of North America Odyssey of the 8th Fire. Steven served as national coordinator for the annual Earth Day USA Celebration (1993), as director of The Wisdom Conservancy at Merriam Hill Education Center in Greenville, New Hampshire, and is currently director of Chiron Communications. A certified yoga instructor, and a Reiki Master of long standing, he has transmitted the Reiki healing techniques to hundreds of students across North and Central America.

Humanity Rising Nederland Dag 1
Let's rise!
Vandaag delen we waarom we starten met Humanity Rising Nederland en hoe belangrijk radicale samenwerking is. Margôt van Brakel bezorgt ons kippenvel met haar TedTalk over ‘de Mens van Morgen’. Jaron Harambam verrast ons (en de wereld) als socioloog met zijn visie op complotdenkers. En Chantal Suissa: dé meest authentieke beroepsverbinder en opiniemaker op het gebied van diversiteit en inclusie deelt haar verhaal.
Ook hebben we aandacht voor de komende 4 dagen waar we de thema’s die de komende 11 weken aan bod komen, bespreken.
Margôt van Brakel - Van Homo Sapiens naar Homo Conexus
Margôt van Brakel is communicatie- en organisatieadviseur. Daarnaast is ze schrijver van het boek ‘De mens van morgen’ en spreekt ze over de waarde van de mens in een steeds verder digitaliserende wereld. Ze gaat in haar verhaal in op het moment waarin we nu zitten. “Deze coronatijd is een tijd van crisis en heftigheid, maar ook een kans om systemen te doorbreken.” Ze omschrijft de beweging van homo sapiens (wijs mens) naar homo conexus (verbonden mens). Wat haar betreft een fundamentele verschuiving die de basis vormt om vanuit verbinding de vele uitdagingen in onze maatschappij aan te gaan.
Jaron Harambam - Het coronavirus: van maatschappelijke splijtzwam naar inclusieve besluitvorming
Sinds het coronavirus de wereld in zijn greep heeft zijn er veel nieuwe maatschappelijke scheidslijnen ontstaan welke alleen maar harder lijken te worden. Hoe kunnen we nu luisteren naar al die verschillende groepen en hun belangen op een democratischere manier afwegen om tot een meer inclusieve en breder gedragen besluitvorming komen?
Jaron Harambam (PhD) is interdisciplinair socioloog (Instituut voor Media Studies van de KU Leuven, België) en doet onderzoek op het gebied van nieuws, desinformatie en complottheorieën.
Chantal Suissa - Compassie & inclusie
Chantal (Utrecht 1980) Sociaal Ondernemer op het gebied van conflict transformatie en inclusiviteit. Daarnaast associate partner bij RoutsLaeven voor constructief onderhandelen.

Humanity Rising Nederland Dag 2
Zelfsturend Vermogen, Geld Stroomt, Leven Lang Ontwikkelen
Vandaag drie inspirerende verhalen over deze nieuwe thema's.
Christian Kromme - Future Proof Mindset
Christian was 15 jaar lang een innovatieve tech-ondernemer, tot hij het DNA achter disruptieve innovatie ontdekte. Deze ontdekking gebruikt hij tijdens zijn keynotes om de volgende grote golf van technologische veranderingen te voorspellen. Christian is nu een internationaal veelgevraagde, futurist keynote spreker. Hij spreekt jaarlijks voor tienduizenden ondernemers, bedrijfsleiders en beleidsmakers over de radicale impact van disruptieve technologieën op mensen en organisaties. De belangrijkste reden waarom organisaties Christian boeken, is vanwege zijn unieke, mensgerichte benadering. Ontdek tijdens zijn verhaal een nieuw holistisch toekomst perspectief op de ontwikkeling van leiderschap, bewustzijn, technologie, organisaties en werk.
Kees Klomp - Welkom in de Betekeniseconomie!
De Betekeniseconomie is een nieuw economisch paradigma waarbij het niet langer gaat om het creëren van economische groei en welvaart, maar om het creëren van integrale zakelijke, maatschappelijke en persoonlijke waarde.
Helma van der Hoorn - Van het geloof in maakbaarheid naar een wereld die zich ontvouwt
Helma is een onderwijsbestuurder die het anders doet. Na een korte loopbaan in de staalfabrieken heeft zij de stap naar het onderwijs gemaakt. Haar motto is dat alleen liefde de wereld nog redden. Onderwijs is zó een mooie sector om de transformatie van de wereld te beïnvloeden! Want, zo zeg ik altijd maar, als het ons lukt om ieder kind zichzelf te laten worden, dan krijgen we de mooist mogelijke wereld!

Humanity Rising Nederland Dag 3
Heel de Mens, Beter Bestuur & Leiderschap
Waarom we denken dat het anders kan.
Diederik Gommers - Het verschil tussen de eerste en tweede golf en gaan we zorgen voor draagvlak
Diederik Gommers (1964) studeerde in Gent en Rotterdam en is gepromoveert op de werking van surfactant, een stof die longblaasjes soepel houdt en (be)ademen eenvoudiger maakt. Hij is opgeleid tot anesthesioloog in Rotterdam en tot intensivist in Amsterdam, en is sinds 2013 afdelingshoofd van de afdeling intensive care volwassenen van het Erasmus MC. Daarnaast is Diederik hoogleraar intensive care geneeskunde en sinds 2016 voorzitter van de Nederlandse Vereniging Intensive Care (NVIC).
Tijdens de coronacrisis neemt hij als medisch specialist deel aan het Outbreak Management Team van RIVM dat het kabinet adviseert over maatregelen tegen de verspreiding van Covid19. Ook geeft hij veelvuldig uitleg over zijn vak en het virus op televisie. Zijn bijdrage gaat hier ook over. We hebben teveel de focus op het medisch inhoudelijk probleem van de covid en daardoor haken steeds meer mensen af. Hoe gaan we ervoor zorgen dat er draagvlak blijft en dat vooral jonge mensen blijven meedoen.
Ferenc van Damme - DemoCrazy: heel snel heel anders
Ferenc van Damme, communicatiestrateeg, energetisch therapeut, dichter, beleidsontwikkelaar bij Studio Vers Bestuur, winnaar van de Galjaard Prijs voor beste communicatie in de non-profit sector (en de enige ambtenaar in Nederland met 3 Grammy nominaties en een Edison op zijn naam), deelt inzichten over strategieën om de 'kracht uit de samenleving' beter aan te boren.
Paul Mbikayi - Hoe bouw je maatschappelijke bruggen in ingewikkelde tijden zoals nu?
Als civiel ingenieur werkend als Coördinator Europese Aanbestedingen bij het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken, ligt Paul Mbikayi, passie bij het bouwen van bruggen.
Zowel in het ecchie, als vanuit een sociaal menselijk perspectief… het bouwen aan een sociale omgeving waarbinnen iedere intentie, bedoeling en mening er mag zijn en wat leidt tot een goed gesprek. Is dat een antwoord op de huidige onrust die ontstaat omdat een tweede golf eraan komt en langer duurt dan we allen wensen? We horen het van deze bijzonder ‘eigen’ man.

Humanity Rising Nederland Dag 4
Nieuwe Democratie, Menszijn
Waarom we denken dat het anders kan!
Farid Tabarki - Veerkracht: van overlevingsstrategie naar vernieuwing
Farid Tabarki is de oprichter van Studio Zeitgeist. Hij doet sinds 2000 onderzoek naar de (Europese) tijdgeest waar vele organisaties in zowel de publieke als de private sector inmiddels hun voordeel mee hebben gedaan. De uitdagingen waar organisaties en professionals zich voor geplaatst zien in de overgang naar de Vloeibare Samenleving staan hierbij centraal. Farid schrijft geregeld voor Het Financieele Dagblad. Zijn boek 'Het Einde van het Midden - Wat een maatschappij van extremen betekent voor mens, bedrijf en politiek' dat een aantal jaar geleden uitkwam lijkt wel relevanter dan ooit. In zijn verhaal benoemt hij dat zowel individuele mensen als samenlevingen het vermogen hebben om schokken te incasseren en ervan te herstellen. De bereidheid nu om de oude wetmatigheden terzijde te schuiven is groot: kennelijk zijn er alternatieven voor het ophokken van klassen, het land doorkruisen voor koffie met de klant en ellenlange vergaderingen in stoffige zaaltjes. We zetten alles op alles om elkaar de helpende hand te bieden (zij het op anderhalve meter afstand) en straks weer samen op te trekken wanneer het gevaar geweken is. Het wordt tijd dat we een nieuw gesprek met elkaar voeren over de waarden die we met elkaar delen.
Engbert Breuker - Kennisfestival Break-out Team
Engbert is ansteker en wondernemer, onderzoekt dit alles en behoudt het goede in zijn streven naar een betere wereld. Hij legt verbanden tussen denken, passie en handelen van organisaties en mensen, vanuit de overtuiging dat meer aandacht voor de individuele mensen zorgt voor talenten waarmee organisaties en buurten kunnen schitteren. Engbert legt direct verslag vanuit Deventer waar het Break-out Team op het kennisfestival heeft 'opgetreden'. Niets is meer wat het geweest is. Nadat we in de jaren zestig de knellende banden van het burgerleven hebben afgeworpen en in de jaren zeventig de hiërarchie uit de industriële revolutie op het werk hebben verworpen, gooiden we in de jaren tachtig die idealen weer overboord omdat we wel resultaten moesten boeken. De integratie van ideaal en productiviteit in de jaren negentig is overruled door de nieuwe wereldverhoudingen en vervolgens de nieuwe crisissen.
