Dear Earth, Dear Earth, let me tell you how I feel.
You have given me such treasure. I love you so.
The above refrain is a simple Taizé song that awakens my growing edges. Because it honours my relationship to the Earth that birthed all Life, including me, it opens my heart to Love.
In the last year 2021 I have had some powerful experiences with heart openings that connected me more deeply to the Divine.
We set as a goal for 2021 to create Schooling for a Planet of Integral Cities. We accomplished through the delivery of key teachings:
- Cities Rising for a Regenerative World (Humanity Rising)
- Cities Rising for a Regenerative World – Ubiquity University Micro Course – available any time online.
- Beyond Resilient: Integral City Inquiry, Action Impact – Ubiquity University Macro Course – delivered Live in 2 semesters – Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 – now available any time online
- Beyond Smart: Integral City Practices, Maps, Tools – available any time online.
We also heard directly from Gaia through three significant venues:
- The lecture offered to the Russian Futures Lab. Her Voice came through as Gaia Mentors Futures for a Planet of Integral Cities (series of 12 blogs)
- In a similar vein Gaia used Integral City persona to speak at the FemmeQ Conference (Costa Rica). She spoke for the ears of al who wish to Care for the Gaia’s Human Hives Unto the 7th Generation
- At the end of the year the Voices of Integral City Peer Spirits joined us on Day 8 of COP26 for Cities Rising as Gaia’s Regeneration Hubs – accompanied by the voices of Monica Sharma/UN Leadership, Coleen Vogel/IPCC, Leonora Grvecha/ Donut Economics and Duncan Crowley/Urban Arena Europe.
Following through on the intention to create Schooling for a Planet of Integral Cities, these 2021 contributions have built a significant and hopefully generative base for the Schooling to Continue via City Regeneration Hubs, through the gateways we have opened in conferences, associations and spheres of influence around the globe.
Hello Marilyn,
What has transpired the past year is most inspiring. I have been drawn to your work with humanity rising during the past two years. I have been partnering with all presenters in a consciousness, living practice. So this is significant, to land here now on Christmas Eve and get to witness the emergence of the collaborative precious caring of life. I would like to know more and if there is a lab in Seattle wa. For some reason I thought you have consulted with the city. I am baffled by technology and my website has gone into the ethers. MetaArts.org and beyondloss.org this platform that I attempt, is not for the faint of heart. But having been buoyed up with days of inner work, I was “seeing the light” And gave it a go! And up you popped! This truly is a blessed season. Thank you for your posting. It’s great testimony to the power of the heart and goodness that is here.
Thanks for your feedback Sharon – delightful blessing to find our paths crossing. I actually live in Findhorn Scotland – but moved here 4 years ago from Abbotsford BC – so I have many connections in Seattle and WA – with some of my community of practice located there.
