The IPCC, the Club of Rome, and the IPBES are clear: an inner transition is essential to accompany the ecological transition. Mindfulness practices can help cultivate both awareness and inner resilience—key capacities for the protection of our planet. This one-hour online event will allow you to: 🌟 Hear from leaders such as Satish Kumar, Elise Buckle, Charlotte Dufour and Liane Stephan on how conscious leadership, through self-awareness, responsibility, and a purpose-driven approach to guiding others, drives positive impact for people and the planet. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Join a live Mindfulness practice uniting participants worldwide for the Earth. 💪 Discover insights to deepen your eco-conscious habits and align your values with action. - Hear from global leaders on how conscious leadership, through self-awareness, responsibility, and a purpose-driven approach to guiding others, drives positive impact for people and the planet. - Join a live mindfulness practice uniting participants worldwide for the Earth. - Discover insights to deepen your eco-conscious habits and align your values with action.

The IDG summit is getting closer. Only 2 weeks now... Who will be there in person this year? And who will watch online at a watch party? Add a comment below with 'in person' or 'watch party'. @Nadene Canning and I will be there and we'll organize a gathering, still need to figure out when as there's so much going on already ;-)

Dear all, here is an attempt at consolidating the learnings from our Decolonising Inner Development conversation series: https://medium.com/rukmini-iyer/decolonising-inner-development-an-ethic-for-re-patterning-systems-and-frameworks-332bd657c8c2 Thank you so much for engaging with this work! I really value it.

Hello Community, I have been taking some time off recently because I am working on a book. It has the working title “The Myth of the Self in Western Culture” and will likely take at least the next 18 months to complete. I ask for your understanding and will be following things from the sidelines. If anyone is interested in discussing this further, here is a brief summary: What does it mean when we believe that there is a true self within us—and that our purpose in life is to find it and remain true to it? This culturally deeply rooted self-image shapes our ideas of identity, authenticity, and freedom—yet it is increasingly at odds with current findings in psychology, neuroscience, and systems theory. This book traces how this Western myth of the self came about, how it works, and what we know about the self from a scientific perspective today. It describes other conceptions of the self that are more relational, contextual, and ecologically embedded, and shows ways to open up our self-understanding for a future in which needs, relationships, and connectedness to a living world are brought into balance. I am writing the book in German. At the moment, I'm still thinking about it and have a lot to figure out for myself. In Chapter 4, “Development Opportunities,” i discuss the IDGs. However, i am happy to discuss it in English if anyone would like to. My email address is ruth@zufriedenleben.eu I wish you all a rewarding time. Ruth

Our community is growing – not only in numbers, but in curiosity, knowledge, and connection. 🌱We’ve noticed that some of you are just beginning your journey with the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) and are looking for answers to foundational questions like: - Why and how were the IDGs created? - How do the IDGs connect to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? - Where can I find scientific research and resources about the IDGs? To support you even better, we’re pleased to introduce a 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬-𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 “𝐈𝐃𝐆 𝟏𝟎𝟏" which is a knowledge hub for people who are new to the IDGs and for those who want to dive deeper and get some more background information. You can access the classroom here. In this new section, we are gathering: - Clear answers to the most common questions about the IDGs, - Links to scientific articles and research papers, - Inspiring materials and further reading recommendations, - Short summaries of key background information. IDG 101 is designed to grow along with us — a living collection that we will continuously expand as new questions and resources emerge. 💬 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 Tell us: What questions about the IDGs are on your mind?
