Duane Elgin:
"Collective Crisis Meets Collective Wisdom"
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011
at 10:00am Pacific; 1:00pm Eastern; UTC/GMT-7
Dear Friends,
Duane Elgin is one of the pioneers of evolutionary consciousness and integral philosophy. He has brought many crucial ideas into our collective conversation. Terry and Duane will explore freely, beginning with some of the key themes that Duane has so brilliantly clarified. For example:
1. A LIVING, NOT DEAD UNIVERSE: We live in a living, regenerative universe. This insight transforms our understanding of where we are, who we are, and where we are going.
2. SUSTAINABLE WAYS OF LIVING: Consumerism makes sense in a dead universe. But voluntary, happy, simplicity makes more sense in a living universe-and that is the view of reality emerging now.
3. MASS MEDIA AND MASS MIND: At this pivotal time in human evolution, it is vitally important that messages in the mass media serve our psychological and spiritual health and not distort our collective intelligence, imagination and evolution.
4. GREAT TRANSITION STORIES: We are in the early stages of a 'great transition.' There are a number of stories that offer insight into this process.
5. TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION: We require processes that will acknowledge and work to overcome the thousands of years of separation that has been experienced by different people at different times, including: women/men, poor/rich, black/white, old/young, Muslim/Christian, humans/other life-forms, etc. We would benefit enormously from a global, truth and reconciliation process at every scale.
Also, have you seen the 4-minute video I recorded last week, marking the 1 year anniversary of Beyond Awakening? I invite you to take a look and join in the conversation here.
Co-Evolutionarily,
Terry Patten

Feminine Power: The Essential Course for the Awakening Woman 7-Week Online Course begins May 11th!
In our 7-Week Course, we'll teach you everything you need to know to begin living the life you were born to live.
Over the last six years, we've worked with thousands of conscious women to pioneer a new teaching called Feminine Power. Our teaching is designed to guide you to manifest your deepest desires in all areas of your life and support you in generating a life that is reflective of your most authentic self.
So, what is Feminine Power?
Unlike masculine power, which is the power to create things that can be controlled, feminine power is the power to manifest that which is beyond our control, including those things that our heart most yearns for - such as love, intimacy, relatedness, creative expression, authentic community and meaningful contribution - and ultimately, the transformation of our world.
We've discovered the keys to awaken this magnetic, co-creative feminine power and we want to share them with you. Visit our course page to learn more.
