The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) publishes a magazine called Shift. And on the IONS website about they talk about "…a shift in consciousness that transforms present global conditions into a world grounded in freedom, wisdom, and love." What is this “shift” ?
• Buckminster Fuller talks about the shift from a you-or-me world—a world where either you or I make it —to a you-and-me world, where all of us can make it.
• Riane Eisler talks about the shift from a dominator model to a partnership model.
Do you feel we are experiencing a major planetary shift? Do you have thoughts about “a shift in consciousness”? Come share your ideas, feelings and stories about how you see the Shift taking place in your life. Meet other like-minded people and join an emerging community to help shape a future that works for all. |

People spend little time outside of their social identity and communities are fragmented: young and old, rich and poor, black and white, conservative and progressive, vegans and carnivores, etc. It is essential in this time of tremendous peril on our planet that we connect, work together and build community that involves everyone. At this gathering we will explore different methodologies to bridge social gaps, from IONS thinkers as well as your own ideas and success stories.

IONS has wealth of resources to inform and inspire us to dialogue about personal and global transformation, which Joanna Macy and David Korten (here last month in Seattle) refer to as Great Turning. At this month’s IR gathering, we will share our thoughts and insights about the recently released IONS resources such as the 2008 Shift Report, teleseminars, books and DVD. If you are already a member of IONS, please come and share your views about these materials. If you are new to IONS, this is a great time for learning more about what IONS offers, introducing leading thinkers and luminaries of our time. Join us for an in-depth discussion about our role in catalyzing the Great Shift. |
