GREGG BRADEN / THE TURNING POINT: Creating Resilience in a Time of Extremes 2/4/15

There's a WAY crisis can become transformation … a WAY simply surviving can become joyous thriving! Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest, Gregg Braden - author of THE TURNING POINT: Creating Resilience in a Time of Extremes and keynote speaker for the Conscious Life Expo ("Creating Resilience in a Time of Extremes" Keynote & Post Conference Intensive -LA - Feb. 6th-9th, 2015 - www.consciouslifeexpo) - says that, in our lives, that time is The Turning Point ... and that, in our world, that time is now!Gregg shares that we live in a time of extremes. And because the conditions of global finance, markets, resources, and jobs touch so much of our lives, we can no longer separate our everyday routines from the extremes of the world. The crises of climate change, extreme weather, and failing economies, for example, translate directly into the cost of the fuel that gets us back and forth to work each day; the interest we pay on our loans and that we're in turn paid on our savings; the loss of neighborhood businesses and local jobs; and the closing of factories, with the many benefits they bring to our communities. All of this means that our lives are changing in ways we've never seen in the past, and they're changing faster than we've been prepared to deal with.The good news is that nature gives us the key to turn the frightening Tipping Points of such extremes into life-affirming Turning Points of transformation. Fact: The solutions to our biggest problems already exist! Fact: We already have the technology and the means to adapt to the extremes! Fact: All that stands between the suffering of the present and the world transformed is the shift in thinking that allows the existing solutions into our lives.The key to thriving in this time of extremes hinges upon: 1. Our willingness to honestly acknowledge the facts of what we’re up against 2 The discoveries that reveal the power of cooperation in nature and human communities rather than the old ideas of competition, and, 3. Our ability to create resilience on a personal as well as a community level, based upon proven, actionable, and sustainable principles.Will we choose the Turning Point to the greatest transformation of living and thinking the world has ever seen? Join Julie Ann and Gregg to discover the simple strategies of resilient thinking for yourself - and resilient living for your families and communities - as we navigate the greatest shift in power, wealth and resources in the modern world history!
