Climate change is more than just an environmental problem. It's about how we relate to each other, how we relate to nature, how we relate to the future, and how we relate to change itself.

Dear Ones,
If we looked at all the current problems of the world, racism, war, climate change, political divide, enslavement, income inequality, hunger, habitat destruction… We find one common denominator; we don’t recognize or honor the innate intra-connection we have with each other and all of life! But, why? We could say it’s because of greed, hatred, colonialism, racism, political or religious ideology, ignorance, culture, and a myriad of other reasons. But that wouldn’t answer the question. We mammals are wired to connect, support, and nurture each other, it is in our DNA. What keeps us stuck in separation, isolation, and divisiveness?

Some years ago, I heard Thomas Hubl say, “We are swimming in a sea of trauma!” Suddenly the clouds parted, and I saw that this was the lynchpin at the heart of all the suffering in the world! Trauma produces separation, and we have perpetuated personal, familial, collective, and intergenerational trauma with each other for hundreds of thousands of years. It is not genetic, it is epigenetic, a product of a habitual turning away from that which connects us! Habits come from experiences of the past and shape the way we see, meet, and relate to the world. Many of them are products of an unintegrated and unexperienced past and live embedded in our personal and collective body, frozen in space and time.

Without presence, I will only be scared and frightened and
will allow fear to run my decisions.

- The CORE (Community, Organizing, Resourcing & Empowerment Group) is an ongoing online program for people who want to do the deeper spiritual and trauma integration work. In this advanced program we continue to deepen our ability to transcend our sense of separate self and develop the skills of Relational Intimacy, Authentic and Embodied Communication, Post Traumatic Healing, and Community Organizing... To apply for this program you must have a regular meditation practice and fill out this confidential application. Michael will then set up a zoom interview to see if this is a fit for you and the group.

IntraConnected: MWe (Me + We):
As The Integration of Self, Identity, and Belonging
by Dan Siegel
| |
|
This profound, inspiring and brilliant offering by Interpersonal Neurobiologist Dan Siegel takes us on a journey of redefining what we consider to be a self. After reading this book your relationship to your own self and others will be radically transformed forever! This is one of the most important books, perhaps ever written, as it presents an inspiring road map to a greatly expanded sense of self and the movement towards oneness that has mostly been viewed as good bumper sticker material. The book will be released in mid November.
Dan will be my guest on WE Earth Radio this month! Yes, I am again doing limited interviews and have some amazing people lined up for the next few months.

What is a Healthy Mind?
With Dr. Dan Siegel

Alone
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Maya Angelou - 1928-2014
