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.

Norway Becomes World’s First Country to Ban Deforestation | EcoWatch
Norway has become the first country to ban deforestation. The Norwegian Parliament pledged May 26 that the government's public procurement policy will be deforestation-free.We Have Five Years To Save Ourselves From Climate Change, Harvard Scientist Says | Forbes
The level of carbon now in the atmosphere hasn't been seen in 12 million years, a Harvard scientist said in Chicago Thursday, and this pollution is rapidly pushing the climate back to its state in the Eocene Epoch, more than 33 million years ago, when there was no ice on either pole. "We have exquisite information about what that state is, because we have a paleo record going back millions of years, when the earth had no ice at either pole. There was almost no temperature difference between the equator and the pole," said James Anderson, a Harvard University professor of atmospheric chemistry best known for establishing that chlorofluorocarbons were damaging the Ozone Layer.Scientists Keep Warning About The Dangers of 5G; Will We Listen? | Gaia
Over 180 scientists and doctors in almost 40 countries are warning the world about 5G health risks. “Resolution 1815 of the Council of Europe” spells it out quite succinctly: “We, the undersigned scientists, recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry. 5G will substantially increase exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF)… and has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment.”Humans Are Speeding Extinction and Altering the Natural World at an ‘Unprecedented’ Pace | The New York Times
Humans are transforming Earth’s natural landscapes so dramatically that as many as one million plant and animal species are now at risk of extinction, posing a dire threat to ecosystems that people all over the world depend on for their survival, a sweeping new United Nations assessment has concluded. The 1,500-page report, compiled by hundreds of international experts and based on thousands of scientific studies, is the most exhaustive look yet at the decline in biodiversity across the globe and the dangers that creates for human civilization. A summary of its findings, which was approved by representatives from the United States and 131 other countries, was released Monday in Paris. The full report is set to be published this year.Former President Jimmy Carter Just Made a Solar Farm to Power Half His City | Futurism
The solar farm in Plains is expected to generate 1.3 MW of power per year, which is equal to burning about 3,600 tons of coal. Over time, that will prevent a sizable amount of greenhouse gases from being emitted into our atmosphere.
