Many people are now asking how they might actively participate in this age of transition.
The formula: One inspired open hearted individual, multiplied by thousands, transforms a city!
Golden Principle: Focus on the Small. When we usually think of a revolution or a complete shift in consciousness, we usually think of large and spectacular events. However, the heart of a collective shift in consciousness and the acceleration toward a sustainable world is to participate in our own personal transformation - awareness of your own body, your feelings, your perceptions and your consciousness. We encourage invidiuals to look no further than the small, achievable and deeply personal initiatives.
