Consciousness-in-Action

Czar Peter The Great's Summer Palace

I’ve been back from Russia almost three full weeks now, but I still feel like I am only just catching up with myself. Maybe it’s because since returning I’ve been traveling back and forth from Puerto Rico to Texas as part of The People’s Institute’s Undoing Racism™ statewide effort there, and have hardly had a chance to get grounded here at home. Writing this reflection and looking through the photos I took help me finally land.

The last few months have been quite interesting: meeting people, making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, exploring possibilities for extending the work of consciousness-in-action around the world. Quite literally. Well, just about, anyway: developing relationships with colleagues and co-conspirators from Vancouver (British Columbia) to Hawai’i to Palmela (Portugal) to Salvador (Brazil) to Copenhagen (Denmark) to Amherst (MA) to Gainesville (FL) to San Juan (PR) to Greensboro (NC) to Washington (DC) to St. Petersburg (Russia) and back home again. This is not counting the many new friends from other places throughout … Continue Reading

On Sunday, March 22, I’ll be offering Social Psychosynthesis: An Invitation to Consciousness-in-Action, a one-day workshop.

This workshop is intended for practitioners and students of Psychosynthesis as well … Continue Reading

It’s incredible how quickly the first quarter of the year has already gone by! And it feels like things are just getting started. For me, in many ways, they are. As I shared in my last entry, this work is starting to get broader exposure, with important presentations scheduled, a book chapter published, and a glowing review of my book coming soon.

Early in March, I was delighted to offer a Consciousness-in-Action workshop in Amherst, Massachusetts. Held at Hampshire College, the full-day event was organized by the Undoing Racism Organizing Collective of Western Massachusetts for organizers, activists, … Continue Reading

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on this blog. I expect to be adding news and comments here a bit more frequently in the coming months.

First of all, consciousness-in-action.com has been registered as a new Internet domain and my primary cyber-address for matters related to my book, workshops and events in the US and beyond. Moreover, this blog is primarily about the consciousness-in-action approach to personal and social change. In addition to posting announcements of my work (and other acts of blatant self-promotion), I will be posting comments and links having to do with … Continue Reading
