I was recently in a webinar with Zach Bush, talking about soil, the biome project, salt, minerals, and their relationship to our health, and that of the earth. What stood out was something I've always felt, and wondered why no one is talking about: that all the NGO's and helping organizations and people are trying to solve the problems we have collectively created; isn't it time to look upstream, and see how we can deal with the source of all these problems. Just paraphrasing.
Well, there's the rub! Some of it is what you and others like my zen teacher do - just more being, and raising awareness, I think. I guess we can only do the right thing NOW, if and when we are truly conscious and present. I believe in taking things slow, so we can gauge the consequences of our actions. The hard thing is, how do we convey that to others?
Do you remember an online event that shifted something in you?
After the Presidential election in 2016 I stepped away from Facebook due to the comments from my friends and family about politics (both sides). Since then many of my friends and family no longer communicate with me (they have no issues with me - they only communicate via FB). I know it was my choice and I'm old school, but I feel disconnected from many these days. That said I still have a great group I keep in contact with. Its been an interesting decision. I'm 59, semi retired in past year, engaged to be married and am making a major real estate transaction that will solidify my plan heading into my 60's. Changes aplenty, but the FB thing still lingers.
I started a Friday night Shabbat SheZoom candlelighting and talk hour for my girlfriends around the country (Jewish and not). We met about 150 times through Covid and beyond.

How, Suha?

Since the issue is our ability to convey to others, I think it means continuing to do our own work. :)
