Kosmos Climate, Consciousness, and Community Summit
February 14, 2019 Kosmos Community News
Dear Reader,
Such exciting news to share! We are all invited to a special Kosmos gathering!
Join us this spring for four days of deep learning, healing, and sharing near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We hope to meet many of you for the first time, after years of connection and collaboration!
Our Kosmos Climate, Consciousness, and Community Summit is an opportunity for intimate dialogue and reflection as we confront truths and deep emotions about the converging crises we face on Earth, our home. We will convene in the beautiful, thriving Transition Town of Media, Pennsylvania.
Take refuge, rest, and renew your resolve.
Learn from many notable thinkers about the intersecting pressures we face as a global family. Work with spiritual guides and small groups to transform grief and numbness into gratitude and connection with Mother Earth. And share 
stories, practices and insights to renew our resilience and help restore our communities.
For all our human flaws, we are in co-creation with the evolving Earth Story. Now we face a tremendous test. Cultivating joy, courage and gratitude is essential in preparing for what lies ahead. Join us as we align our hearts with Life, beauty, and harmony to help build resilient communities. This is the mission of Kosmos, and this is my hope for this Summit! – Rhonda Fabian, Kosmos Editor and Summit Convener

In the Light | Summit Affiliate, Transition Town Media
Transition Town Media (TTM), is a group of neighbors and friends working to build a stronger, more resilient future for all of us in the Greater Media Area. Like you, we are concerned about the rising costs of living, climate change, access to healthy food and water, and living in a way that reduces our impact on the planet. We recognize that our government and institutions can’t adequately address all these concerns and that it is up to us, as communities, to strengthen our local economy and to keep ourselves and our families happy and healthy.
Transition efforts are designed to help our communities become more self-sufficient, economically and socially vibrant, and enriched through personal connection.
Climate Change requires urgent action. Adaptation to a world with less reliance on fossil fuels is inevitable and it is better to plan and be prepared than be taken by surprise. We believe using our creativity and cooperation to unleash community genius and local solutions will lead to a more abundant, connected and healthier future for all.
The Transition Top Ten:
If any of the following appeal to you, you’ll be into Transition!
-
- Supporting a sustainable local economy
- Recycling, up-cycling and restoring
- Living simply and having low or no debt
- Reducing energy costs and using renewable energy
- Forming closer connections with your neighbors
- Learning the skills your grandparents knew
- Cooking from scratch
- Using healthy local foods, or growing your own
- Social justice and fairness
- Preserving our natural environment
TTM is delighted to be an official affiliate of the Climate, Consciousness, and Community Summit.

“If a major tornado were heading toward one’s community, we would not say those who were concerned about it are suffering from ‘tornado-anxiety’. Nor would we prescribe daily meditation, a walk in the park, or joining a support group as the best ways to respond. While the danger from what is taking place ecologically and its impending economic fall-out is not descending upon us as instantaneously as a tornado might, feeling concerned about the seriousness of its current and worsening impact is a healthy, natural reaction to our growing consciousness of a real threat.”

“Love calls to us in many different ways. Yet while most people seek for love in the tangle of human relationships, the mystic is drawn deeper under the surface—in Rumi’s words, “return to the root of the root of your own being.” And here we begin to discover one of life’s greatest secrets…”
