Global Healing Response: Embracing Authenticity (A New Year's Journey to Impactful Change)

Welcome to a new year for Impact! and for Global Healing Response, which this year puts the spotlight on the vital importance of authenticity. We preview what's ahead as we come to grips with how crucial a grounding in being authentic is, both for ourselves, and for our politics, institutions and societies. We come to grips with how far reaching the scope and impact of authenticity is, and look at areas where we may face challenge in aligning our actions with core values, as we explore how we might cultivate living our truths and the transformative impact in our world that we might each individually inspire.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, in this year of global healing through deepening and returning to societies and politics guided by authentic speaking, doing and being, we suggest remembering the part we can each play in this, and holding as our main intention:

I resolve to connect with, and live by, my own beliefs and values.

Please join us in holding this.
