Welcome

MY QUESTION:  Is Our Society Working for You?

YES (or “I’m happy with where our society is headed!”)

Wow! I’d enjoy hearing how you define “working”.  Here are a few resources that my broaden your horizons — 350.org (A non-profit founded by Bill McKibben working globally on Climate Change), How to Save the World (A Blog about the challenges of Civilization), Z Magazine (An independent monthly magazine dedicated to resisting injustice, defending against repression, and creating liberty.), and CommonDreams.org (Internet-based progressive news and grassroots activism organization).

NO (or “I’m ready to change and/or change our society” or “Our society is changing dramatically and I want to be ready!”)

If this is your answer, we are in agreement.  The Times are a changin’ and I am working to help create a world that work for all of us!

What is the root of our society’s troubles?  Some of the symptoms of the problem include our struggling economy, our reliance on fossil fuels, the extinction of the flora and fauna of the planet,  Economic and Military Imperialism, racial inequality, etc.  One way to look at the “causes” of this problem is to look at the stories that guide us.  The way we see the world helps determine the world that we see.

To survive in a new world means going local.  Creating communities that meet the needs of  smaller groups of people without relying on the old economy.  These resilient places ask people to develop new skills.   In this new world we will need stronger communication skills — skills that help us weather the changes without warfare.   Compassionate Communication, Open Space Technology, Permaculture, Cohousing, and other technologies will aid in the transition to the new world. (For more about the Transition Movement go here.)

Communicating with Heart was created to help people communicate more effectively.  If you would like to learn how this technology can help you be more effective in the present day and in the world to come, read on…

What does it mean to Communicate with Heart?

I believe that we are one.  Each of us is made from the same “stuff”:  Stardust.  As Mark Nepo says, “What we reach for may be different/But why we reach is the same”.  Our culture blinds us to this reality by conditioning us to separate ourselves from each other by judging, protecting oneself from risk and conflict, and looking out only for our own interests.

Communicating with Heart is a learned process that returns us to our natural oneness. It beings with learning to be present to your inner world (i.e. your heart) & having the strength to be vulnerable to others.   Second, we learn to touch another’s inner world & communicating in a way that connects. Third and finally, we develop the skills to work together to meet everyone’s needs and make the world a better place.
