I have been observing 2022 as the Year of Transition and the Year of (Re)Connection. I commented to a colleague that it was also the Year of Recalibrating – or at least the Year of the Eve of Recalibrating. “What does recalibrating mean?” she asks.

When I look over 2022 I am struck not just with the phenomenon of Transitioning at an epochal level. But the year was phenomenally resonant with new connections, reconnections from year’s past and disconnections as new opportunities drew people apart. (See Table below.) The activities around re/dis/new connecting has made the [...]

It isn’t just that this time of year is a naturally transitioning time as we enter Advent in the Christian world, and experience that change of season – in the North presaging Winter with late Fall and in the South pursuing full summer with late Spring. It’s not just that this last quarter [...]

As we further contemplate the significance of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II we explore other perspectives (than previously published here and here and here ) on this event. I have been curious about what others might see unfolding beyond the power structures (or intelligences) that Queen Elizabeth II represented in her role and [...]

As we amplify the influence of the Integral City paradigm, we are co-midwifing a planet of Integral Cities through the emergence of Living Cities Earth. Our impulse is attracting co-creators (more than 25 at writing). Seeking ways to align our multiple, trans-generational, trans-cultural perspectives we have been inspired to weave our narrative into the [...]

I am a Canadian of a certain age who remembers clearly what it was like to live in Toronto in the era of Vietnam Draft Dodgers. In the 1960’s and 70’s young men of draft age beat a steady path to Canada to preserve lives, education and future opportunities. Estimates of about 125,000 men [...]

So, the Integral City karma yoga practice of Caring for Self, Others, Place, Planet is challenging – but vital for city and planetary wellbeing. Vital also for our aspirations that cities can [...]
