Toward a Global Shift: Seeding the Field of Collective Change The time is now... About the Conference â??Toward a Global Shiftâ?? is calling forth wisdom from the four corners of the Earth and from diverse sectors of society to build a powerful field for positive, collective change. Together, we will create a living experiment in personal, social, and global transformation. Youâ??ll hear from fascinating scientists, inspiring spiritual leaders, and social entrepreneurs, as well as from the many brilliant individuals like yourself who will join in our innovative group explorations to create new frameworks for our shared future. This conference takes an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to change that will, in the tradition of the noetic sciences, weave together research experiments, groundbreaking ideas, passionate performances, transformative personal experiences, and community ritual. Through our main-stage events and breakout sessions, our goal will be to bring the wisdom gained in our small groups back into the entire conference community to seed dialogues and deepen our experiential journey.

Imagine a website (with a great blog associated with it!) that gives you a boost and improves your mood whenever you need it. Imagine a website that gives you all the positive news and then helps you with the techniques, tools and support that make you happier and healthier, so you can create your own good news! Welcome to planetchange.tv, a new website focusing exclusively on solutions and inspirational stories that empower each and every human being. This is the place for the countless millions of us who are looking to make a contribution to our world - so please join our community today!

Our community encourages every author, every organization and every individual to share their ideas for global transformation and to post and share these ideas with like minded individuals.

It will soon be possible to share ideas on the parent website in addition to this blog.) The noted anthropologist Margaret Mead has been quoted as sayingâ?? â??Donâ??t ever doubt the ability of a small group of people to change the world, in fact it is the only thing that ever has.â?? Today Planetchange.tv WOULD LIKE TO ADD - â??Donâ??t ever doubt the ability of ANY single person to BE THE change.â??
