Climate prosperity makes sense.

The imperative is to adapt and tranform.

Imagining that the shift is already done, we can envisage the opportunities created.

From another perspective, I met the Danish Ambassador to South Africa after his presentation at the Climate Change Summit in Joburg South Africa.

Denmark has increased growth and reduced CO2 emissions and in the process developed a wind and renewables industry that contributes 8% to GDP.

As a Climate Prosperity community, we can identify the 'dimensions' of Green Transition to Climate Prosperity and identify the solutions that are already here to be replicated and re-used.

As Climate Prosperity moves from Network to Community to System of Influence, it can develop the template for this global green transition - of businesses, cities, etc.

So many good things are happening!

 1) The list of potential locations for the Dreamshops and the people to run them is growing.  We have set a goal of 25 and at this point, we are on our way with around 6 or so - in various parts of the world.

2) Josh Wadzinski, an Academy of Art student majoring in Graphic Design has agreed to design the Field Manual for us.  He is talented, passionate about education and has a really strong conceptual sense as well as a strong design sense. Thanks to Brenna for finding him!!!

3) On April 17 and 18, I will be meeting in Seattle, WA with five people to discuss an initial piece to the concept of the school that centers around helping young people find a stronger sense of themselves as well as a deeper sense of purpose in the world. These folks, on their own time, are volunteering to help me feel this part through a bit. They have deep experience and knowledge. We are thankful for their participation.

4) We have gotten organized here in Gaiaspace and are beginning to build an infrastructure.

5) Julia is getting organized for the documentary and will be presenting a story concept to us in a week or so.

It's awesome and to all you who have stepped forward to help, I am deeply appreciative.

Hi Quantum Women!

For those of you who haven't yet experienced the (often highly addictive) world of blogging here are a few tips for making our blogging experience a rich one.  

Blogging is easy.  Yes, as easy as email.  Unlike email though, blogs are public to varying degrees and are a permanent searchable record. 

You don't have to be profound.  You do have to be authentic.

Regularity is helpful. Think about how much time you can devote to posting on a regular basis and make a commitment to stick to it (if we each posted even twice a month, that would keep our blog very active).  Consider keeping a notebook (paper or digital) to jot down sparks for posts as they arise during your day.  This can really speed up the process when you sit down to post.

Short and sweet is fine.  You don't have to write an essay; postcards from the edge are awesome.  

Consider posting pictures, art, poetry, music.

Link often. Blogs are all about networking.  The first way to create connections is to link to other web-based resources--like webpages, wikis or other blogs. If you look on the toolbar you will see an icon shaped like a chain link.  Highlight the text you want to create a link for then click on the link icon. A dialog box pops up where you can enter the web address of the resource.  You can also link to other posts inside our blog. Links also alert others that we are out here.  Others start to link to us and this creates the web of conversation and connection that pushes our ideas and profile out into the world.  Here's an example of linking:

On Friday i had a wonderful conversation with Robert Augustus Masters (who you may remember Marilyn mentioning in connection with a potential part 2 of Quantum Woman Inquiry).  Robert is an integral psychotherapist.  To get a flavour of his work you can check out his newsletter or his blog.

Comment on other posts (and on other blogs including a link back to ours).  This is the other way to create connections in the blogsphere. 

Add Tags.  This is something we will grow into.  Tags help us to find content by placing it in broader contextual categories.  You enter tags in the keywords box below the main blogging body box.

Check the access restrictions box at the bottom.  We probably want most of our posts to be public, so that we expand the circle of conversation (via comments).  

May you all enjoy happy and adventurous blogging!
