Who are we in a changing climate?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n What are we called to do?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Who are we called to be?<\/em><\/p>\n These are some of the questions Abigail Lynam, Annick de Witt and Simon Divecha bring to a new program on Transformative Climate Advocacy.\u00a0 See their video invitation below and for the free info session January 18.\u00a0 Simon explains: Our worlds shape us too. That includes how we experience the meta-crises around us. For example, the very pressures of climate disruption may function as a catalyst that awakens humanity to the kind of planetary awareness and interdependent global actions that we need to create life-sustaining societies. I, Simon, experienced this vividly reflected from the November 2021 Glasgow Climate COP. The measurable results, benchmarks for outcomes and action, are far less than what we need. Attendee\u2019s \u00a0attitudes and emotional outlooks, paradoxically, were overwhelming positive. For the first time many people I met felt we, humanity, can rise to this challenge.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I\u2019m involved with the Transformative Climate Advocacy program. To explore further such new approaches and focus in on the interior dimensions of change. We are aiming to:\u00a0<\/p>\n Join us for an informative conversation with the Transformative\u00a0Climate Advocacy faculty. Bring your questions to this online meeting space,\u00a0explore your relationship to climate change, meet other change-makers and\u00a0get a taste of what we\u2019ll be exploring and experiencing in the program. It will\u00a0be fun!\u00a0 Learn more and register here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.pacificintegral.com\/transformative-climate-advocacy\/#schedule<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n *\u00a0What is good action research: Quality choice points with a refreshed urgency.

“As action researchers we know there is an intimate interconnection between how we understand and conduct our research plus the impacts arising from it. That is “knowledge creation integrates personal\/reflexive, interpersonal\/relational, and impersonal knowledge\u2026 shape[ing] the social world…<\/em>\u201d*<\/p>\n
With regard to this crisis, it\u2019s become almost a clich\u00e9 to say that we need a mind-shift or a paradigm change. This signifies an increasing recognition that the most important barriers\u2014and supports\u2014for transformative change are, in fact, interior.<\/p>\n
To support us all as change makers, ARTists, it is becoming clear that new approaches are needed\u2014approaches beyond technology and traditional (newtonian) research that are supporting a more profound transformation towards sustainable, regenerative and life-enhancing societies.<\/p>\n\n
