As the year closes and IDG moves through a time of transition, many of us are carrying both gratitude and grief, and an appreciation for what has been possible, what may be ending, and the unanswered questions that remain. This two-hour gathering is an invitation to slow down together, honour what has been and what has been lost, and reconnect with the deeper sources of creative agency that carry us forward. Drawing on Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects, we will make space for reflection and shared presence - not to fix or plan - but to meet the New Year with care and a sense of what wants to emerge. Participation is always by choice. Nothing is asked of you except presence. Gently held and guided by @`Mila Aliana and @Denise Pang Register here https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/cnhDRC80Q8qE9NsIMMG3xg

I don’t know about you but whenever I talk about IDGs, I often get « why focus on individuals when it’s corporations and government who holds the real power to bring change? ». It inspired me to write the following article. Let me know if you think it will help you in future discussions and/or whether you think an important argument is missing! https://nathalievenis.substack.com/p/why-the-sdgs-are-stuck-and-why-the?r=54pxeh

Dear friends, I received this message from a member of a regeneration collective I'm part. As an IDG community committed to inner development for outer change, - what do situations like these awaken in you? - where / how do you feel called to respond in your highest potential? - what difference can we make as a global, online community? ——— For those in California, I’d like to share this for awareness and the desire to find a way to get through to them and coordinate a transformation to it The Coyote Creek agrivoltaic ranch project in Sacramento county was recently permitted despite major backlash from community and local natives - apparently over 150 ppl showed up for comment to a Board meeting that lasted 7 hours “The solar arrays, combined with a 100-megawatt battery storage system, are expected to provide power for roughly 44,000 homes and operate for about 35 years — at the cost of removing up to 3,500 native and blue oak trees. (Old growth forests). The crux of the issue is “not solar or no solar,” but “environmentally destructive solar or responsible solar.”” https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article312972193.html#storylink=cpy https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRbDhKxEUq1/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://ceqanet.lci.ca.gov/2022010271/3

It was wonderful to connect during this morning's IDG GPN. Thank you @Nadene Canning @Marvin Maneve and @Marie Hernandez for holding the space and thoughtful prompts about how the Guide has evolved and why it matters. Last year I created a journal "23 days of nature-inspired inner development" which reflects on the 23 skills/qualities of IDG 1.0 through the lens of nature. I invite you to continue the journey with the new Inner Development Guide and all the inspiration that nature brings 🦋

Thank you to EVERYONE who took the time to join today. It was heartwarming to be in conversation together. We discussed the 2 new competences of Forgiveness and Resilience, and the Framework being referred to as a Guide. There were SO many valuable insights shared around three topics: What we loved, What we learned and What we want to bring into action. For members who were unable to join, please share your reflections too, we'd love to hear from you!
