As we once again hear the collective sigh of helplessness at the news of yet another senseless shooting, I could not help but be moved by the recent anonymous quote, noted above, from a Virginia Tech student. Fear continues to reign. Fingers are being pointed at the living for not noticing and doing something about the apparently troubled shooter. And now there is a fear of backlash and further violence against others. I literally cannot express my outrage of continued extreme fear-based actions. What drives us at Shift to assist people to move away from Fear towards Love is expressed perfectly by Rhonda Britten in her blog. Please check it out - and for those who don’t know Rhonda’s history, she has faced death head on and is surviving to help others.
Wow- I’m blown away. Larry and Patty Wilson just forwarded us an amazing link that prepares for the future. The Wilson Collaborative often talks about Innovative Learning rather than Maintenance Learning in their corporate training porgrams and I think the message is clear. For us to be fulfilled, meaning being more than successful- being happy, joyous, energized and passionate about what we’re doing on this planet, we really need to integrate more methods of learning than we were given.
This is one reason why Shift is so powerful. Yes it is a game and yes all of the elements are experiential. Yes interactive learning is the number one way to ground any lesson. And, beyond our methodology for teaching, I think the subject matter is the ultimate course of study. Shift allows us to learn about ourselves and see what makes us tick. It does more than expose the way we show up in every relationship whether it’s with time, money, our friends, family or lovers. Shift shows us how we show up for ourselves. In this fast forward world of communication and virtual connectedness, our making time to check in internally and acknowledge our highest Selves, will provide us the opportunity to operate from a place of love and that, my firends, will prove more powerful for creating connection than any MySpace ever could.
Please check out their amazing trailer that brings me to tears almost every time I see it. These are friends we’re excited about partnering with who are taking the concept of a world wide Shift mainstream. When they get closer to releasing, we’ll let you know where you can see it. Stay tuned… and enjoy.
