Action-Learning on PermaCulture & Integral Edges

Yesterday I spend the day creating this: ButterflyJobs.info, an evolutionary employment agency! Did so because we've been realising with all this unemployment about and people searching for more meaningful work, somehow we weren't getting across clearly enough that is what we've been offering from time: the framework and 'safety net' to experiment with what we all know is the most important structural work to do now: build up local economies, as more sustainable infrastructures. We know this is most of what...
Happy Epiphany, the recognition of the Divinity (in each of us), and special greeting to all wild (un-tamed) women, especially the most un-conventional (over the moon :) ones and so help bring forth...
Or Sacred Activism, Demonic Commercialism .. and the ongoing pillaging of feminist brilliance. Am getting increasingly worried about the tsunamis of half-truths. They really can be worse than lies...
The online course about evolutionary metamorphosis is over and it's been a very interesting, exciting but also infuriating ride.. Wonderful awareness about the need to be re-writing myths, but very...
Am not actually sure why my father used to remind me of that phrase "paralysis by analysis" quite often... as am actually a fairly impatient, pragmatic and practical person (maybe he was talking about himself, or maybe his dire warnings had the desired effect, I don't know..). But something am getting increasingly worried about these days is the lethal combination of the two opposites ends of this same psychosis (fear of taking sane action), something Ann Langley terms Paralysis by Analysis & Risk of...
Can we put together a Science of Civilization? The technology of flight started with experimental machines, built following the observation of birds, and basically consisted in throwing these machines off cliffs and seeing if they would fly. This is roughly the stage we're at with designing civilizations: we're making a lot of experiments and seeing if they work. It's a trial and error process. Throwing flying machines off cliffs is not how we develop airplanes now because through a combination...
I've always liked this cherubs picture but didn't ever quite understand why the girl cherub had butterfly wings.. And it turns out it's Eros & Psyche, but potrayed as little children .. Then he said, "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. I was blown over and sooo inspired when I went to look up Eros, following the talk we had by Ken Wilber in his home ... I asked him if Eros is the 5th Force, as he claims...
I've just completed a wonderful intense week in the Integral Incubator, travelled far to Boulder, Colorado for this, something I would not have been able to do had it not been for a generous scholarship...
