Send us a textThe climate crisis represents humanity's greatest challenge—but how can professional coaches contribute to solutions? In this revealing conversation, we explore the groundbreaking work of the Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA), a volunteer-driven global movement transforming how coaches approach environmental consciousness.Joining us are Alison Maitland, leadership and inclusion coach focused on helping leaders address society's biggest challenges, and Eve Turner, one of the CCA's co-founders. Together, they share the remarkable story of how a small group of committed coaches launched a movement that now spans continents, languages, and coaching specialties.The discussion tackles a fundamental question many coaches struggle with: how do we ethically incorporate climate awareness without imposing our agenda on clients? As Eve explains, "We're not just coaches—we're human beings," and this work requires us to examine our role in either maintaining or transforming existing systems. Alison adds powerful perspective on working with climate-related emotions: "The deeper the emotions, the more evidence that people care, how much they love the earth."You'll discover practical approaches for bringing climate consciousness into your coaching practice, from chemistry sessions to values discussions. Learn about the wealth of resources available through the CCA, including communities in multiple languages, special interest groups, and their comprehensive guidebook filled with exercises, questions, and stories from coaches worldwide.Perhaps most compelling is the connection between planetary transformation and personal transformation. Climate coaching isn't just about external challenges—it involves deep inner work. As coaches develop their capacity to hold space for difficult emotions like grief and anxiety, they simultaneously help clients navigate our changing world with resilience and purpose.Whether you're already engaged in climate work or just beginning to explore its relevance to coaching, this conversation offers valuable insights, practical resources, and an open invitation to join a supportive community making a meaningful difference.Watch the full interview by clicking here.Find the full article here.Learn more about Alison here.Learn more about Eve here.You can join the Climate Coaching Alliance.You can purchase the book Ecological and Climate here and use this 20% coupon code 25AFLY1.There are 13 professional coaching, supervision, mentoring and coaching psychology bodies and communities who have signed up the joint statement on the ecological and climate crisis, they can find out more here.Here is a link to an amazing short poem by American poet and climate activist, Drew Dellinger, sent to music and words by Bioneers.  Grab your free issue of choice Magazine here - https://choice-online.com

Our friend Neal Rogin passed away last year. Neal's mastery at combining wordplay with insight made him a bit of a “coyote shaman”. Neal's brilliant wit, compassionate heart, and gift for bringing wisdom in the form of humor, made him a one-of-a-kind human…and one of the kindest humans to walk the earth. Cheryl Esposito welcomes Neal Rogin, a multi-award winning writer & filmmaker. Neal's compassion for life & human connection led him to bold projects, such as LIVE AID Concert for African Famine Relief; The Pachamama Alliance; Spaceship Earth; and his film, The Awakening Universe. Neal says we are experiencing an extraordinary shift in consciousness of what it means to be a person. We are on the edge of a breakthrough as a species, from arrogance to humility, understanding that we are all one. He sees compassion as the great connector that will move us from competition to cooperation. Neal's film, The Awakening Universe, is based upon the book The Universe Story by Brian Swimme & Thomas Berry, & The Cosmic Narrative by Drew Dellinger. It explores how the New Cosmology is changing the very definition of what it means to be a human being. Join Cheryl Esposito and Neal Rogin to explore life...it's awe. Inspired.

It’s now less than 50 days from what we usually call election day. This year we call it the day the polls close. On January 28th 2017 the week Trump took officee I recorded this conversation with Mark Hertsgaard of The Nation, Richard Eskow of The Zero Hour, and Drew Dellinger of Planetize the Movement. Here’s what I wrote then: "Friday Donald Trump was inaugurated with dark talk of American carnage, and Saturday over 600 marches in every state and 66 countries drew millions with a declaration of resistance. He's got both houses of Congress and soon the Supreme Court. We've got each other. Where do we go from here?"

What is the role of creativity in our times? “The arts is a human manifestation of the universe reflecting on and celebrating itself. We are the unspooling of the creative dynamics of galaxies. Creativity is part of our birthright and integral to who we are as beings in this cosmos.” ~ Drew Dellinger In this episode Amisha meets poet, writer and teacher Drew Dellinger. Drew shares his understanding of the role for poetry in our times, and the ways in which poetry - and creativity more broadly - are integral to our human experience. He speaks about the arts as celebration, and a way of deepening our experience of the universe. Drew tells us about his own creative process, and the ways in which we can nurture and facilitate our own creativity to come forth in our lives. He shares his perspective on where the transcendent and the personal intersect in the creative process, and how to find the form that gets feeling across to others.  Together Drew and Amisha discuss the connections between the arts and social justice, sharing stories and personal experiences as well as some of their great inspirations. They talk about what it means to be engaged, conscious, in community, and in responsibility at this time. Drew shares his ideas on the power of dream, story, art and action coming together to create change. Links from this episode and more at www.thefutureisbeautiful.co

We hope you enjoy the Journey!--- What is our place in the 14-billion-year history of the universe?What roles do we play in Earth's history?How do we connect with the intricate web of life?This podcast series is part of a larger project called Journey of the Universe that invites us to reflect on these questions. It consists of a film, a book, a series of conversations, and online classes. The creators of the Journey project imagine that by knowing more about the universe and Earth we will also know more about ourselves. This may give us grounds for navigating our own journey in challenging times. How did we come to be part of this universe story? How do we belong and how can we participate in its future flourishing? This series is a gateway into exploring these questions. In these podcasts of the Journey of the Universe Conversations we will meet scientists and historians, environmentalists and teachers, gardeners and urban planners. All of them are reflecting on how we can be more fully alive in this context of participating in a universe story.Connect deeply with these materials and more via the Journey of the Universe: A Story for Our Times Specialization, a series of Massive Online Open Courses hosted by Coursera and created by Yale.To receive up to date announcements on new podcasts and Journey community offerings, subscribe to our newsletter.

Listening to Drew Dellinger’s poetry regularly gives me goosebumps. Very shortly it will give you goosebumps too. He is a US-based writer, poet, speaker and teacher whose passions revolve around ecology, social justice, cosmology, social change and transformation. He uses arts activism to build movements, such as ‘Planetise the Movement’ which he founded. He is fascinated by the big stories that operate in our culture and the power of arts education and activism. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a deeply thoughtful and powerfully eloquent man. It was my great honour that he gave me an hour of his time to talk imagination, an hour that I found moving, inspiring and deeply thought-provoking. You’re going to love this one. I started by asking him what, for him, is imagination? When he thinks of the word imagination, what does it bring up for him?

We're back from a bit of a break and we've got some wonderful podcasts lined up. What were we doing for the last month? For starters, Todd returned to his roots in Petaluma, California to attend the Pachamama Alliance Global Gathering.

As humans, we are born from the living web of wildness that is the universe itself. The galaxies are wilderness, as are the planets, the oceans, and the creative depths of the human soul and psyche. Yet much of our modern culture has had the effect of alienating us from the cosmos and our creative selves. Together we will explore the transformational shifts in worldview and practice that are reconnecting us with the Great Community of life. As John Muir wrote, "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness."Drew Dellinger, Ph.D., is an internationally known speaker, writer, poet, and teacher who has lectured and taught extensively across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. He is author of the award-winning poetry collection, Love Letter to the Milky Way, and the upcoming book, Martin Luther King – Ecological Thinker: Toward a Cosmology of Connection. Dellinger has lectured at numerous colleges and universities and has taught at Prescott College, Schumacher College, Naropa University–Oakland, the Sophia Center, CIIS, and John F. Kennedy University, where he was Associate Professor and Director of the Program in Social Ecology. Dellinger has been called "a national treasure," by Joanna Macy, "a deep and courageous poet," by Alice Walker, and "one of the most creative, courageous, and prophetic voices of his generation," by Cornel West. www.drewdellinger.org Twitter: @drewdellingerSupport the show (https://www.natureevolutionaries.com/donations)

“How could we ask for anything less than the future?” That is the question. And it was asked by spoken word poet, Drew Dellinger, in a November 16th post to the OccupyLove.org site. How do we—the Big We—take the restorative actions needed to manifest a future that works for everyone? “Many of our shamanic ancestors knew an answer to this question,” explains host and shaman, Christina Pratt. “From the often quoted Great Binding Law of the Iroquois Confederacy that our decisions serve the next seven generations to the Quechua concept of ayni, which is reciprocity and gratitude co-mingled in mature love, our shamanic ancestors knew how to Occupy Love. They created their entire social structure based on taking the actions necessary not only to thrive in their environments but also to keep the flow of energy that animates all things moving, exchanging, and reciprocating. For many shamanic peoples, prior to contact with the religions and beliefs of the Western World, their lives were shaped by accepting a Law of Universal Responsibility which means that everyone engages in the interchange of mature love, knowledge, and right work. And that they do so in a way that willingly acknowledges the interconnection between humans, the natural world that sustains them, and the invisible world of spirit. Our ancestors learned to live in this way by asking their helping spirits how. So we are not looking back to see what to do, but to learn how to ask the questions of spirit that will guide us in taking the restorative actions needed to transform our world.

Aired 09/04/11 I am currently focusing the show on the breakdown and restoration of the American Dream. Recent guests include Rob Johnson, Richard Eskow, Drew Dellinger, Jacob Hacker, Paul Pierson, and David Cay Johnston. Today I'll be joined by VAN JONES, co-Founder and President of REBUILD THE DREAM. Learn more at rebuildthedream.com Introducing the American Dream Movement, Jones said, "It is the American Dream that the GOP's "slash and burn" agenda is killing off. We need a movement dedicated to renewing the idea that hard work pays in our country; that you can make it if you try; that America remains a land committed to dignity, justice and opportunity for all. Right now, this very idea is on the GOP chopping block. And we must rescue it now -- or risk losing it forever. America will not make it through this crisis healthy and whole if -- at the first sign of trouble -- we are willing to throw away our teachers, police officers, firefighters, nurses and others who make our communities and country strong. Their daily work is essential to the smooth functioning and long-term success of our nation. An attack on them is an attack on the backbone of America. Nobody objects to politicians cutting budgetary fat. But the GOP program everywhere is so reckless that it would actually cut muscle, bone and marrow, too. This approach is both shortsighted and immoral. We should rise up against it -- in our millions." VAN JONES is Co-Founder and President of REBUILD THE DREAM, and a co-founder of three other successful non-profit organizations: the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Color of Change and Green For All. Jones served as the green jobs advisor in the Obama White House in 2009, and is currently a senior fellow at the Center For American Progress and a senior policy advisor at Green For All. He holds a joint appointment at Princeton University, as a distinguished visiting fellow in both the Center for African American Studies and in the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He is the author of The Green Collar Economy. http://ourfuture.org/conference 10 CRITICAL STEPS TO GET OUR ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK I. Invest in America's Infrastructure II.
