ENVISION radical generosity with Nupin Mehta.Nipun Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace, a global community working at the intersection of technology, volunteerism, and gift culture.As a designer of large-scale social movements that are rooted in small acts of service and powered by micro-moments of inner transformation, his work has uniquely catalyzed "many to many" networks of community builders grounded in their localities and rooted in practices of cultivating compassion. More recently, ServiceSpace's pandemic response showcased the beauty of its agile ecosystem.Today, ServiceSpace reaches millions every month, is powered by thousands of volunteers, and blossoms into ever-expanding local and virtual service projects that aim to ignite a "whole greater than the sum of its parts".Nipun was honored as an "Unsung hero of compassion" by the Dalai Lama, not long before former U.S. President Obama appointed him to a council for addressing poverty and inequality in the USA.Yet the core of what strikes anyone who meets him is the way -his life is an attempt to bring smiles in the world and silence in his heart. I quote him: "I want to live simply, love purely, and give fearlessly. That's me.”Welcome NIPUN, is an honor to share this moment, here with you!About Nipun | ServiceSpace I invite you to join my email list, if you want to hear about the new episodes or the food for thought I am pondering on. https://www.auroramorfin.com/ Aligned Beings our online community has opened its doors.
