Heart Circle Network
In the Heart Circle Network, we believe that one of the most important things people can do in response to today's radically changing times is to come together in small groups for mutual support and creative manifestation. Heart Circles provide an ongoing small support group setting for people wanting to explore how to deliberately become more creative, joyful, mentally-focused and heart-directed and thus more responsive to the changing times we are in. In a Heart Circle, you sit together weekly with a small group of people that you care for and trust. You practice communicating directly what you are feeling in the moment and what you're wanting in life. As you do this together, your hearts open and your friendships deepen. In this way you bring more focus and joy into your personal life while strengthening the community in which you live. And its strong individuals in resonant, local communities that are needed most in these uncertain times today.

R.I.P.E. Raw Institute of Permaculture Education
Raw Permaculture unites the practice of sustainable eating and appropriate food preparation of raw foodism with the sustainable living skills of permaculture. Raw permaculture expands ecological awareness to include the internal terrain (personal health) as well as external environment (from local ecosystems to planetary health). In short, Raw Permaculture fuses the design of systems and regenerative participation in natural ecosystems of permaculture with the ethic of consuming truly natural sustenance of raw foodism.
