Copenhagen – The Human Face of Climate Change

Our learning village community is a beautiful thing. We are a circle of people from many countries and off all ages who have come together to play, learn, explore and deepen our understanding of who we are as human BEINGS on this planet so we can put a human face on climate change. What are we willing to commit our energy to in the coming years that will make the most positive impact on our future? As a collective we are a powerful and courageous group. I totally love being here.

Yesterday our small circle of ten or so met with many other members of our larger global community in a day long ‘open space’. This is a self-organizing process where people invite others into conversations about they are most passionate about, looking for input, support and synchronicity.

The question posed to us was “What am I passionate about and willing to take responsibility for in service of the planet?” There were three sessions during the day. So many beautiful projects were offered up including a ‘homeless choir’ that spontaneously created a song “What is the story of the future we can live right now?”, a commitment to create a similar gathering in next year’s Cop16 in Mexico, my own promise to gather people in Boston to talk about creating a community there… and so much more…..

I uploaded my pictures from the first four days here on my flikr account. Please enjoy them with me here.

There is much more to report… but now, off to the local grocer to buy breakfast supplies with my friend Luke for the absolutely luscious space many of us are being hosted in by our friends David and Marianne Thank you, dear friends for opening your beautiful and welcoming home to us!
