Well, people gotta write about something. I think the book you are referring to chose a catchy title but I don't think it refers to the political-social-environmental-economic implications of the lack of an adequately balanced life supported by so...
I don't think that "by-law-required" formal vacation time is a state of mind. The points brought by John de Graaf emphasize how the lack of leisure time contributes to a lack of connection with oneself and our planet. How does a parent explain to ...
Hi Lynn,
If I hear your correctly, you are pointing out how we all are effected by our environment, society and cultural norms. Is that accurate?
It is difficult to identify and admit our own personal contributions that reinforce the current sys...
These are really great questions. How do we open our hearts to prepare for social change?
Being social means being in community, being connected. Our challenge today seems to be that so many of us experience deep disconnect on so many levels—inte...

Originally, I am from Germany, lived for five years in Amsterdam, came to the U.S. in 2002, worked and practiced as a Zen priest at the Upaya Zen Center, and joined Bioneers in August of 2006. Here at Bioneers, I am Nina Simons' assistant. I love working for Bioneers, love my colleagues, and am very exited to see the emerging unison of concerns from the environmental movement, the social justice movement, and the indigenous wisdom traditions.
What are you working on?
Being present, moment-by-moment and accepting life as it presents itself.
For me, there is no "one favorite book." Hey—this is the eclectic age, isn't it? Nevertheless, here's a small selection to choose from:
The Color Purple, by Alice Walker
The Vagina Monologues, by Eve Ensler
HARRY POTTER, of course!
All the Sharon McCone mysteries, by Marcia Muller
Be An Island: The Buddhist Practice of Inner Peace, by Ven. Ayya Khema
Swallowing The River Ganges, by Matthew Flickstein
Buddhism Without Beliefs, by Stephen Batchelor
Grace and Grit: Spirituality and Healing in the Life and Death of Treya Killam Wilber, by Ken Wilber
Favorite Musician:
More eclecticism—What about different music genres?
Samba; Ambient: Techno & House; Goa Trance; Ibiza Beats; African Blues; Motown; Classical Music; Gospel Music; Hip Hop, Rap, Soul—just to name a few.
Hi Felice -- here's another environmental network that you might like to know about. Feel free to visit and, if you like what you see, join us. We'd love to have you blog and enter discussions about your world view. You have a unique perspective that you bring to the environmental movement. http://ecopaparazzi.ning.com
Yeah, some things take time. So take your time :).
I came across your group when cruising our site. Global Healing is a most relevant issue these days. You might want to have a sneak peak at the trailer posted on my blog. It's a documentary that will be released in 2008. I do think it conveys the essence of the spirit needed these days. Curious? Then have a look at With One Voice.
What is the old saying?: "Make new friends, but keep the old. The one is silver, and the other is gold." Yes, it is fun and easy to make new friends :)
hey felice, so nice to see your smiling face on the bcn! hope you got to take some down time after the conference - we're right back at it again, aren't we??? hugs to you.
