The current focus on an imperiled planet challenges us to rise to what transformation is all about, globally and personally. Even with our knowledge of consciousness, remaining an optimist in these difficult times can be a challenge. Sharing a community potluck, we will embark on a noetic exploration of what you do to remain an optimist, incorporating a discussion on Elisabet Sahtouris’ article (IONS Shift magazine # 11) on Seven Reasons Why I Remain an Optimist. She outlines seven keys. Please feel free to follow the link to download and read the article before the discussion which will be artfully facilitated. Bring a dish to share with others.

Imagine the possibilities if the power to change our lives and the world we live in was discovered within the cells of our bodies! “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.” — Max Planck, Nobel Prize-winning father of quantum theory.

Join Gregg Braden, NY Times best-selling author and international lecturer, and Bruce Lipton, cellular and developmental research scientist, as they reveal the very latest findings from the intersection of new science and ancient truths.
