Updates from the Field
October 2017
Phew! It’s been an intense ride this (northern hemisphere) summer! The solar eclipse in August was for many of us a major reset moment that allowed us an opportunity to re-evaluate relationships and commitments, and to make key decisions to let go of old forms and to embrace a fundamentally new direction. Thank you to the more than 4,000 people who participated in our Gaiafield meditation that day!
This past month has seemed to be about sorting through the debris of everything that was stirred up over the summer, deciding what is to be kept and what discarded from the energy surges we experienced in the previous months. How is your new life structure taking shape? Below are a number of resources that we hope can support you in this process of integration and re-configuration.
Recently we celebrated the International Day of Peace with our 6th annual BeThePeace Global Meditation. Many thanks to the thousands of people who participated in that event! If you would like to listen to the call recording of that meditation, you can do so here.
Blessings of Peace,
The Gaiafield Council.

Subtle Activism:
The Inner Dimension of
Social and Planetary Transformation
by David Nicol
Book Excerpt
Direct “Versus” Subtle Activism
One of the most exciting possibilities of subtle activism, in my view, is its potential integration with creative forms of social and political engagement. In my own work with the Gaiafield Project, our most compelling projects have been those that have connected the practice of subtle activism to social and political actions occurring in the world.
For example, our WiseUSA initiatives linked subtle activism with the US presidential elections in 2008 and 2012, our WiseClimate project focused on the Copenhagen climate change conference in 2009, and our Occupy Gaia series in 2011 supported the then burgeoning Occupy movement.
Yet, in my experience, the most strident opposition to the concept of subtle activism often comes from the ranks of traditional direct activists, particularly those on the political left.
The typical complaint is that subtle activism represents a kind of middle class or new age cop-out that diverts valuable energies from the less comfortable but more productive activities necessary to generate real change.
The unscrupulous powers that be, so this line of criticism goes, would like nothing more than for the people to believe that their salvation lies in meditation and prayer, as these practices could give people the feeling that they are making a difference while leaving the world open for continued exploitation.
Far from being seen as a revolutionary force, spirituality is considered from this perspective to be a pacifying agent that serves to maintain the status quo.

Global Shift Meditation
One World Bearing Witness: Exploring the Frontiers of We Space
With Elizabeth Debold, Founder, One World in Dialogue
Please join us Sunday October 1 for our next Global Shift Meditation with Elizabeth Debold, for a fascinating exploration of a new potential of human togetherness.
One of the most exciting developments at the leading-edge of consciousness work today is a focus on emergent ‘we spaces’, where groups tap into a collective potential in which the whole becomes more than the sum of the parts. Elizabeth Debold has been working at the frontier of the ‘we space’ for over twenty years.
Along with sharing about the ideas behind her innovative work, Elizabeth will talk about One World Bearing Witness, a beautiful 24-hour global vigil for humanity taking place December 2-3, 2017. Elizabeth will then guide us in an Emerge Dialogue Process so that we can experience first hand the magic of co-creative emergence.
Thursday, October 5 ~ 6pm US Pacific
Full Moon Earth Treasure Vase Meditation with Cynthia Jurs
Moon in Aries
Since January, we have been building a strong and deep energy field through our monthly practice of the Earth Treasure Vase Global Meditation, in partnership with Cynthia Jurs.
We find it especially powerful to come together at the time of the full moon. Many traditions believe that our prayers and intentions are amplified exponentially at this time.
This month we will be joined by Dahr Jamail, who recently buried an Earth Treasure Vase in Alaska, dedicated to supporting responsible stewardship of Earth’s climate by human beings. Dahr will tell us the fascinating story of his pilgrimage, and then we will engage together in the ETV global meditation.
Please join us to weave together the threads of global community and to plant seeds of deep intention for the healing of our Earth.
Note: You do not have to register again if you already registered for a previous ETV full moon event.

The teachers and organizations that we recommend have been a great source of inspiration to us and we sincerely hope they will be for you as well.
Evolutionary Relationships:
Unleashing the Power of Mutual Awakening
New Book by Patricia Albere
For millennia, spirituality has been a deeply personal pursuit – monks on mountaintops and yogis in caves. But the world is more social than ever, and interconnectedness is transforming everything, from our family lives to work. Today, we need a spirituality that focuses more on “we” than “me.” In Evolutionary Relationships, Patricia Albere draws on more than four decades of teaching work to introduce a new spirituality called “mutual awakening” that you can explore with a friend, lover, spouse, or partner. With practices to guide you and lessons to inspire you, this book helps you become more available to yourself, your partner, and our world. Patricia is offering the first three chapters of Evolutionary Relationships for free at the link below:
