Hello lovely people 👋 I'm back from Portugal (while @Nadene Canning is still enjoying herself on a little road trip). I'd like to invite you to join me this Friday for another Skillbuilder around integrity & authenticity, part of the BEING dimension. As usual, we'll start with a self-reflection and then discuss with peers. 12.30 pm - 1pm CET this Friday, October 2nd I hope to see you then! Warmly Sarah P.S. Couldn't resist to share some more pictures from Portugal

Hi everyone 🐝 The Impossible Future is an animated documentary series about people and communities who are already building solutions to the ecological, social and economic crisis. It grew out of a simple idea: these days it can be hard to imagine a different future, but those solutions already exist and they're already underway. During the week of October 18–25, the series is being screened in spaces all over the world at the same time. The same questions, asked at the same time, in different places, and you can be one of those places. Anyone can host. It could be a community space, a project or hub, or your own living room with whoever you'd like to invite. ✔️ No licensing fees ✔️ Full kit: the series, discussion prompts and ready-to-use promo materials 👉 Watch the series (first two episodes available worldwide): theimpossiblefuture.org/#episodios 👉 Host a screening: theimpossiblefuture.org/screenings One week. Many places. Other possible futures.

I literally listened to 3 min of this and knew I needed to share it with you! Scientists have been measuring the effects of Spiritual practices for more than thirty years, and there are now thousands of papers in peer-reviewed journals showing that people with a regular spiritual or religious practice tend to be healthier, happier and longer-lived than those without one, whatever they happen to believe. Spiritual practices work, and this is not a matter of opinion. Rupert Sheldrake looks at the practices themselves rather than the arguments around them: gratitude, meditation and prayer, mantras, ritual, holy days and festivals, sport, and pilgrimage. Most of them cost nothing and require no prior belief system. The thread running through all of them is CONNECTION. Meditation and prayer are complementary rather than rival, more like breathing in and breathing out. Rituals and festivals connect people to each other and to those who did the same things before them. Even sport, which is usually thought of as a supremely secular activity, brings people into the present more quickly than almost anything else. This talk was recorded live at Hollyhock on Cortes Island in British Columbia, 2026. What are the 5 things you are grateful for this week?

🎥SAVE THE DATE - 11 OCTOBER (13:00 UK time): We were privileged to see "The Hardest Bridge" at the Caux IDG Forum this summer in the presence of filmmaker Imad Karam. The film, following the extraordinary journey of Jo Berry and Pat Magee, offers a powerful reflection on reconciliation, dialogue and the possibility of healing after violence. The film is also a powerful reminder that the stories we choose to tell - and the stories we choose to hear - can help us see one another differently, break cycles of violence and build bridges where they once seemed impossible. 🕊️ If you would like to attend the official launch event and rewatch the film, you can join online on 11 October: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85495451590
