Spring Into Action! | Kosmos Seed Grant Results
Dear Readers,
It truly appears spring has arrived! I have just returned from a nourishing retreat at Plum Village in France where the namesake blossoms fluttered like butterflies in the warm breeze. It is the hermitage of my teacher, Venerable Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (currently in Thailand), and the visible energy of this humble poet, monk and activist who dedicated a lifetime to…

Transformation and a ‘Thriving Mothers Agenda’
Dear Reader,
It was a great joy this week to escort Nancy Roof, our founder and editor, to the United Nations to speak on the topic of transformation in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda. It is always moving to hear her personal story of transformation and the spiritual foundation of our Journal, as well as her journey as a woman. Nancy is co-founder of the Values Caucus at…
Standing at the Water’s Edge
Dear Reader,
We are standing at the water's edge. Beneath the surface, unseen, is the churning of of our collective unconscious - humanity's instincts, dreams and fears, the veiled archetypes that Jung called the 'aboriginal, innate, and inherited shapes of the human mind'. Above the waves is clarity, spaciousness and the light of awareness.
It's the constant churning of the waters that…
An Integral Worldview
In 2011, while studying for a master’s degree in Integral Theory at John F. Kennedy University, I started researching businesses and organizations with an integral approach, and that’s when I found this amazing journal.

Our Human Family and Global Citizenship
Dear Reader,
Two images keep resurfacing in the waters of my thoughts: Usain Bolt, the fastest man on Earth, flashing a dazzling smile to the camera during his 100-meter semifinal race, and Omran Daqneesh, the 5-year-old survivor of an Aleppo airstrike, sitting unblinking and dazed in an ambulance.
Certainly, the Olympics bring us together as a human family and uplift us. For one brief…
