Real Utopia An amazing blend of philosophers, activists, writers and dreamers, Real Utopia is an international organization with regular online meetings to plan the future! I’ve been volunteering on the newsletter team. RU Participating is a monthly, and provides members with updates, news, and interviews with other members.
If you have read Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, by Yanis Varoufakis, then you may want to see the Meta CPC site. The Center for Post Capitalist Civilization holds events, talks and even has a talk about how Star Trek is anti-war!
A friend introduced me to DoTERRA, and their essential oils are amazing. Adding the lemon and/or ginger to tea adds great flavor, and a drop of lemon in guacamole is amazing! There are also healing oils, and massage treatments! If you are interested in DoTERRA products, my friend Jaci provided a link to be able to purchase DoTERRA oils without paying the membership fee: DoTERRA essential oils.
I am honored to share that some poems I have written are included in The Circle, an anthology of poems from several languages! Edited by Jyoti Bachani, and published by Pierian Spring Press, The Circle has been gathering for years, and is largely populated by poets from India. A wonderfully welcoming group of people whose strengths and tenderness are apparent in every reading, whether live or from the page.
I met Jennika in front of the Belmont library one day, and have been able to get to know her better since. Her site, templeteachings.com is inteteresting for those who wish to grow in wisdom.
TED is a great resource, yet Leili Anvar’s talk about Rumi deserves special recognition.
