ICA Accelerate 77 is asking, "What are the dynamics of sustainable communities?"
by Karen Snyder 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

> As university students were interviewed to participate in the Accelerate 77 Summer Program, each was asked, "What does sustainability mean to you?" Consistently they responded that sustainability included economic, social and environmental dynamics. These three dynamics are taught in universities. > > We learned from various websites how others look at sustainable communities such as: > * Ecotrust's image under "What does a sustainable society look like?" at www.conservationeconomy.net > * An ecovillage image of "The 15 elements of ecovillage living" at http://www.gaia.org/mediafiles/gaia/resources/HJackson_whatIsEv.pdf > * Transition movement's image of "Transition to a Resilient Future" at www.transtionus.org (US) or www.transitionnetwork.org (global) > > Our intent was to integrate the language from these websites, ICA's community development program chart, and our experience. Paul Noah has created the beautiful design below to hold the current thinking. > > This is a DRAFT. In the midst of the energy focused on the Accelerate 77 Share Fair September 15th, there has been little time to develop and refine this work. We are now posting it on the listserve in order to occasion a broader conversation and feedback to create a design for sharing with sustainable communities in the future. > > Enjoy! And send your feedback!! >

the new ICA
by Terry Bergdall 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

The subject line, "the old Order passing away," has been grabbing my attention for several days now as I open my email. While that is certainly a statement of fact in regard to our EI/OE/ICA community, it is far from being the whole story. During the past academic year, September-May 2012, ICA-USA had 200+ university students engaged in preparation field work for the city-wide share fair, "Accelerate 77." Then, for ten weeks during the summer, we were rocked daily with 40 interns passionately "bending history" as they completed the work. Their presence has been living proof of our 50th Anniversary slogan, "Midway in a Century of Care." The following link will give you a glimpse at what I'm talking about. You'll see Seva Gandhi, a full-time staff person of ICA-USA and a current member of the ICA-International Board of Directors, and Dylan Amlin, one of the summer interns, being interviewed about the "Sharing Approaches That Work" event on September 15: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNtJle4YfH0&feature=bf_prev&list=UUdS0glKdGe… All is good, all is received, that past is approved, the future is open. Take care, Terry

Carol Pierce's death
by David M Dunn 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

Mary Laura asked that her note about Carol's death be sent again to ensure the most inclusive outreach: Carol Pierce passed away a little before noon [Thursday, September 20, 2012] of cardio-pulmonary complications. Aimee Hilliard and Mary Laura Jones were with Carol the entire morning. Carol enjoyed the Accelerate 77 event on Saturday and loved keeping in touch with many of you and keeping track of your lives and activities. There will be a Memorial Service at the ICA GreenRise Center building on a weekend in September or October. I will post the time and date as soon as the family decides the date. Carol will be deeply missed. She was a wise and courageous mentor to many of us. I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her gracious attitude and her demonstration of living a great life in the midst of physical adversity.

Carol Pierce's 70th pictures
by LAURELCG＠aol.com 05 Oct '12

Somehow I'd missed these until Paul's e-mail. Thanks so much, whoever sent them. So wonderful to see beloved faces I still recognized, some that were still familiar but I couldn't label with names, and some I didn't have a clue about. What a beautiful gathering for the beautiful being, Carol Pierce. In the Love that holds us all in being, Jann McGuire In a message dated 10/5/2012 12:26:31 P.M.

I suspect it was Mary Laura who put that together on the occassion of Carol's 70th birthday. Thank you Mary Laura... best wishes, Paul

Dear Colleagues, These delightful photographs from 2006 matter now in a different way. I suspect it was Mary Laura who put that together on the occassion of Carol's 70th birthday. Thank you Mary Laura... best wishes, Paul In a message dated 02/10/2012 01:42:03 GMT Daylight Time, marykdsouza(a)gmail.com writes: Over the last week I have been reflecting on the lives of Margynell Knutson, Ellery Ellizondo and Carol Pierce. They represent the hundreds of other women in the order. . I first met Margynell at the ITI in Mumbai where she was on the faculty of the program in 1972. Carol Pierce met me at the airport in Hong Kong on my way to Chicago for the first time in 1972. Ellery was always available for consultation and support while I brought up our son in Chicago. Their lives and their decisions were important for my life. The choices and the solidity of their decisions made it possible for me to have the courage to move out from the ordinary. The extra ordinary opened up for me. Metaphorically, one could say, I have learned to walk on water. Thank you one and all. Mary Thank you one and all.
