Panel Discussion – George Noory moderating
with
Caroline Casey, Starhawk, Daniel Pinchbeck, David Wolfe and Laura Fox
EARTH TEMPLE DOME
Saturday – 5:30-6:30 pm
How can our larger community move even further into living the new dream indicated by the 2012 shift, via inspiration into conceptualization, aspiration and visualization to land real living action steps which help us co-create successfully? What are the core issues we are dealing with that seem like barriers to this dream—ie, economic and eco-crises, inner and outer disharmony, unwieldy and rampantly controlling social, governmental and corporate entities—and what are the specific ways of being we need to collectively and individually shift into in order to truly "anchor" this new dream? Discussion includes the four primary levels of motivation, aspiration, activation and innovation to holographically examine what we can do on a physical level, how we can transform with our emotions, what we can imagine our new reality to be, and how we can strategize to make our collective dream of a new culture based on HARMONY come into being.
