The Wisdom Collaborative Feast™
Beginning the end of February 2009, I will convene an ongoing gathering of hearts and minds bent on awakening and becoming. I am convening nine sessions over a period of twelve months at the Old Siskiyou Barn South of Ashland, OR.
During our time together we will honor the ideologies of our individual cultures, education, training and experience and set them aside. In their stead we will open to the ineffable knowing fields – Fields of Wisdom – the intangible realities of life in which we individually and collectively exist, subsist and live. We will learn to proceed in our healing, awakening and becoming from the Mystery’s Wisdom rather than from human understanding.
The Practical Mystic with Juan Nunez del Prado & Stephen Victor
April 24, 25, 26, 2009
This three day workshop is an approach in opening to life affirming Other worlds. Juan brings mystical and magical practices for working in the world of living energy, and Stephen brings his practice of working in the fields of human consciousness. Juan and Stephen are offer different means for approaching nature’s transpersonal fields of intelligence, information, energy and agency. In Juan’s world these realities are known as the Kausay Pacha. In Stephen’s: Fields of Grace® and the Wisdom of the Human Heart.

My Vision, Mission, Strategies and Values
Vision
Human beings knowing joy irrespective of circumstances.
Seeing human beings reconciled with our Earth, one another and one’s sovereign autonomous human heart.
Seeing human beings embodying one’s own individual, diverse, ecstatic and unique true nature and character.
Seeing our Earth’s natural diverse harmonious alliance of opposites reflected in the daily lives of all human beings.
Seeing human beings embodying the Wholeness of our regal dignity and compassion.
Mission
Providing outfitting and guiding services for fostering human transfigurations by reconciling self with Self, self with Earth and self one another and self with love.
Strategies
Effecting a foreground / background shift in remembering to remember; to open, query, be informed by, and act in accordance with the life affirming collaborative nature of the Earth’s mystical and ineffable Presence of Fields of Wisdom, Grace and Intelligence.
To do so via public workshops and training seminars, business consultancy and publishing written, visual and audio materials.
Values
Values are conceptual abstractions around which one has assigned certain emotions. There are primarily two categories of "values": those which one favors and wants to go toward, and those which one dislikes or dreads and wants to avoid.
I prefer to instead to address the qualities of character I "value." Qualities of character relate to non-psychological energies of the sovereign autonomous human heart that one is open to or not. These energies are life affirming and embody an individual and one's presence if one opens to them. If open, one's actions are informed, impelled and imbued with and by life affirming energies.
Those qualities of character I "value" include:
• warm-heartedness (light, open, loving, generous, belonging and
participation),
• strong-heartedness (strength, courage and personal authority),
• kind-heartedness (compassion, generosity of warmth),
• open-heartedness (participating in reciprocal nature of life).
These not only reflect and support our individual and collective honest integrity and dignity but are wholeness, integrity, dignity and generosity of spirit.

China reassigns 60,000 soldiers to plant trees in bid to fight pollution | The Independent
China has reportedly reassigned over 60,000 soldiers to plant trees in a bid to combat pollution by increasing the country's forest coverage. A large regiment from the People's Liberation Army, along with some of the nation's armed police force, have been withdrawn from their posts on the northern border to work on non-military tasks inland. The majority will be dispatched to Hebei province, which encircles Beijing, according to the Asia Times which originally reported the story. The area is known to be a major culprit for producing the notorious smog which blankets the capital city.Good News: This Year's Monarch Butterfly Migration Is Larger Than We've Seen in Recent Years | Better Homes & Gardens
Every autumn, monarch butterflies migrate across the U.S., heading south (and in some cases, west) for the winter. They are one of the few butterfly species that makes such a long migration—it can be up to 3,000 miles, and they often travel in such large groups that they fill the sky with their orange-and-black wings and blanket vegetation when resting. But over the past two decades, their numbers have been steadily declining, to the point that this insect is being considered for the endangered species list. Since 1997, when an estimated 682 million monarchs swooped through the air, the population has dwindled as low as 25 million monarchs in 2014 before rebounding to 150 million in 2016. So when reports of this year’s migration seem to indicate more of these winged wonders than usual, it could be a sign that their populations are continuing to make a comeback.Germany to close all 84 of its coal-fired power plants, will rely primarily on renewable energy | Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Berlin — Germany, one of the world’s biggest consumers of coal, will shut down all 84 of its coal-fired power plants over the next 19 years to meet its international commitments in the fight against climate change, a government commission said Saturday.New urban algae canopy produces as much oxygen as four hectares of woodland | The Plaid Zebra
An urban canopy created with algae has got people talking about the link between technology and environment. According to Gizmag, the bio-digital structure pumps a fluid with microalgae around a transparent shelter, which in turn produces shade, energy in the form of biomass, and an impressive amount of oxygen amounting to the equivalent of four hectares of woodland. When it comes to photosynthesis, microalgae organisms are ten times more efficient than large trees and grass. Buildings and architectural surfaces are efficient spaces to utilize this technology.U.S. House votes to ban uranium mining near Grand Canyon | Arizona Mirror
The U.S. House approved legislation Wednesday to permanently ban uranium and other hardrock mining near the Grand Canyon. The bill from Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, passed by a vote of 236-185.
