Conversations

We live in a complicated and complex world. So many riches and so much poverty, a beautiful planet that many of us take for granted at best, relationships that teeter between respectful and intimate to outright hateful and dangerous. Where are we headed? What is the new story that is waiting to be born through us?

How might simple shifts in our perceptions and actions make a positive impact on our world which as many now realize, is in the midst of a very serious transition? What is ours to ‘do’ individually and collectively?

Are you interested in exploring these and other questions? Then join our weekly conversations. We welcome your thoughts and experiences around these and other thought provoking topics.

For years I have been part of a generous and generative global community of people engaged in meaningful conversations that stimulate individual and collective thinking and have a ripple effect on large systemic change. The One Global Bridge community answers the question many of us ask, “How can we share the benefit of these kinds of conversations to a much wider audience so people around the world can experience the connectivity we know is possible to bring more peace/sustainability/consciousness to their own lives and the world as a whole?”

The in-person gatherings I have attended over the years, large and small, are the richest I have ever experienced. Why? Because they are held or hosted in a way that feels safe enough for people to share their deepest reflections. Differences of opinions are welcomed and considered without judgment. How often do you find that in the work-a-day world? Not too often I suspect.

The virtual calls my colleagues and I have been holding over the past few years provide this same level of safety and interconnectedness. The benefits of the conversations filter into our personal work in the world. We welcome the calls as they are a touch stone for us to come back to so we can hold that center as we experience the tension of our every day lives.

Rarely do we want to hang up from these calls.

At One Global Bridge our intention is to offer you that same level of support through weekly, interactive conference calls. The level of connectivity we reach as a collective will vary from call to call but in time, I believe those who attend regularly will feel at “home”, experiencing the richness that is possible when a dedicated group of people gather with a shared desire to make a positive difference in the world.

Unlike other conference calls, we won’t have teachers speaking ‘to’ you, you can find that valuable kind of information elsewhere. Instead, we will introduce a topic, sometimes with a guest host, and then be able to hear your contribution both in the large group setting and in small break out sessions where you will be able to meet others and share more intimately.

These calls are participatory. We will use the technology called Maestro Conference . This technology allows us to speak to everyone as a group and then move into intimate small-group discussions. Here you will get to meet people and share at a deep level. Sign up for these calls by signing up through our donation button. You can donate as little or as much as you like. This way we will know you are interested in joining the live conversations and adding this grounding practice to your busy week.

Starting in January and for a few months we will offer weekly 1.5 hour calls at no cost to you. We welcome your participation. Please sign up for the blog on the upper right of this post and we will let you know when the calls are taking place.

All you need is a way to call into a US based conference call line, an open heart and mind, a healthy respect for all viewpoints, an ability to slow down and listen to others and a desire to explore expansive ways of living and leading in these transformative times.

Welcome. We look forward to hearing from you.
