@MauiElectric Thank you for your caution. We do not need another wildfire! PSPS is inconvenient for sure, but this caution is warranted.

1230p PSPS/West Maui update: Residents and visitors should plan for an extended outage. We can’t restore power until after inspections and repairs, which can only be done after winds subside for two hours. Mahalo for understanding that this is for safety. We will continue providing updates as often as possible. #MauiOutage

youtube.com/watch?v=_1VfYP… Excellent video from Charles Eisenstein. He gives a powerful glimpse which sees our current dilemmas as a CRISIS OF BELONGING. Resonates withWendell Berry's new book, "The Need to Be Whole: Patriotism and the History of Prejudice."

These are confusing and tumultuous times. No surprise, right? In these times, young leaders are needed who can help us find the way forward. Check out this a beautiful learning program for twentysomethings in the Seattle area. ilali.global/pilot-program

@chriscorrigan This is beautiful and moving, Chris. I wish we had met in this life!

We've both been quiet and busy these first months of 2022. Have a look at our latest work here: mailchi.mp/newstories/who… And, if you can, please make a contribution to our work supporting communities as they choose a path of regeneration.

What is an island of wholeness, you ask. It is where people come together to create what they want with what they have. They do hard work and with joy. They spread the warmth of possibilities in times which often feel brittle and cold. Please support us: bit.ly/Bobs-73rd

One of the community regeneration activists I have great respect for is Sarah Queblatin from the Philippines. She's been there when the Typoons have come and decimated communities; and then, working with people to build what will come next. She's speaking globalresiliencesummit.org

Sutra.co is offering Facilitating the Future, free on 4/4 We love Sutra - this will be a great experience, check it out! Slow down, listen deeply, converse about what matters. facilitatethefuture.com

Transformation happens when we co-create and then connect Islands of Wholeness. Here's my latest experiment: co-creating a Cohousing Community in Spokane. newstories.org/islands-of-who…

Please join me Sunday afternoon from 1-3 in a thoughtful conversation about how the crises and catastrophes of current times can be a springboard for transformation. I'll be part of the Transition US conference on community regeneration. transitionus.org/event/plenary-…

@CajunAngela @writerbxtch Amazing that you cannot pronounce mischievous correctly. You embody it!

@writerbxtch I still mispronounce homogeneous and homogeneity… and every time I think : remember it’s not like you thought and then I do it wrong again. I did, however, finally learn not to pronounce mischievous- “mis-chee-vee-us”

My good friend Allen Myers of regeneratingparadise.org immediately offered his support as a photographer, taking pictures of people and their loss after the Camp Fire of 11/08/18. He's continuing this year with new fires. Recently featured in this newsclip: kcra.com/article/photog…

You transform a system by turning towards it and embracing it with curiosity, compassion, and courage. Turning away and denying the world gets us stuck in doubt, hate, and fear. Thoughtful insights from @ottoscharmer1 medium.com/presencing-ins…
