Dear Friends,
As we all know there are many problems facing the world today - climate change, de-forestation, peak oil, species extinction, clean water, poverty, inequality, corruption... and so much more. Sometimes all of these challenges can seem overwhelming.
Many sages, yogi's and saints, including Mahatma Ghandi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ammachi, and others have said that our external situations, societal injustice, and ecological unrest are all eternal circumstances manifesting from the pollution of negative thought forms, unkind words, and hateful judgmental thinking. This gives us insight into how to clean up our world, one conversation at a time, starting within. To get to the root of the problem, we must tend to our inner garden.
With that in mind… We are excited to be collaborating with the NVC (Non-Violent Communication) Community and others in the field to offer a Zone Zero Tele-Course - focusing on tending to the inner garden.
Hope you can join us.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
