Our OE/ICA teachings invite us, as you well know, to live in the present in mystery, consciousness, care, and tranquility, and to help create a better future through our every thought, word, and deed. I know that some of my colleagues are doing or supporting wonderful initiatives to awaken people to climate change adaptation and mitigation, such as in the Denver region, help the homeless, such as Kaze Gadway in Albuquerque, defend women's rights and representational democracy, and much more. I would love to know what you are doing, are planning to do, or hoping to do, so that we can learn from and support one another.

We are using the model of Doughnut Economics developed by Kate Raworth of the UK. I understand that Karen Troxel and Jan Sanders discussed this model in a recent ICA calendar event. Sometimes I use ToP methods with the group. You might be interested in using the Doughnut in your local area. The model is attached to this email. Please let me know if you would like further info.

For example, I practice mindful breathing throughout each day to care for myself so that I might be available to help others. What are some of your practices of self care?
