template_ad_hollyhock HOLLYHOCK
“Hollyhock may be the most powerful catalyst for progressive change in this country.” — Bill Roberts, S-VOX

“An internationally renowned centre for learning and well-being, Hollyhock impacts personal, professional and social development, and also offers visitors a fantastic island holiday.

Our spectacular natural setting on Cortes Island in British Columbia is an ideal backdrop for transformative experiences. We are linked intrinsically to our ecology, assisting us in providing a comfortable and safe environment where people can deeply connect with others, gain creative insights, and renew hope that a better world is possible.

Hollyhock is Canada’s leading learning centre with over 26 years experience, but you can also think of us as a “refuge for your soul”, a place that allows you access to what matters, or simply time to rest and play.”

I’ve been lucky to take 3 courses there - Sheldrake, Purce, and Danny Paradise. I highly recommend it. Find a course that sounds interesting and go for it. Stay in your tent if possible. It’s special place. Thank you Clare.

template_ad_namarupa NAMARUPA
“Depth and reverence which is both ancient and alive…”

Now in a new digital format NAMARUPA, Categories of Indian Thought, conveys the vast scope of sacred philosophical thought of India.

NAMARUPA takes its name from a well known mantra in the Brihadaranyaka Upanisad - 1:4:7 “At that time the world here was not unfolded; it then unfolded itself into names NAMA and forms RUPA“

I met Dr. Sheldrake while on a wonderful yatra organized by Namarupa. It’s an amazing source of art, photography, yoga, wisdom, deep questions, and heart-warming stories from India.

Consider going to their site and signing up. Magazine component now in eco-friendly digital format, or “Print on Demand”. Thank you Robert.

“Evolver is a new social network for conscious collaboration. It provides a platform for individuals, communities, and organizations to discover and share the new tools, initiatives, and ideas that will improve our lives and change the world.

On Evolver.net you can:

• Express yourself to your peers.
• Find inspiring news and helpful information.
• Share resources and swap services.
• Connect with pioneering groups and organizations.
• Find the collaborators you need to help you realize your vision.
• Meet the community off-line – at regular Evolver “socials,” film screenings, parties, and events.”

A recently launched, expertly-designed space to connect and organize and get inspired. For online and offline projects. Made with love by the people at Reality Sandwich. Thanks for getting the word out Jonathan, Daniel, Ken.

template_ad_reality REALITY SANDWICH
“Reality Sandwich is a web magazine for this time of intense transformation. Our subjects run the gamut from sustainability to shamanism, alternate realities to alternative energy, remixing media to re-imagining community, holistic healing techniques to the promise and perils of new technologies.

We hope to spark debate and engagement by offering a forum for voices ranging from the ecologically pragmatic to the wildly visionary (which, to our delight, sometimes turn out to be the one and the same). Counteracting the doom-and-gloom of the daily news, Reality Sandwich is a platform for voices conveying a different vision of the transformations we face.

Our goal is to inspire psychic evolution and a kind of earth alchemy.”

I contribute a compilation of podcasts for this interesting blog. Thanks for getting the word out Jonathan, Daniel, Ken.
