Session Summary

Council Track:

The Living Spirit of Peace

Session Title:

Raising Consciousness and Communications

Session Convener:

Joseph Bernard


Best practices or lessons learned from our previous experiences on this topic and our conversation here:

Dialogue with openness raises consciousness. Awareness of self and other increases consciousness. Outside influences are opportunities or awareness. All emotions must be honored. Connection between feeling and need. Re-connecting with nature helps us connect with our unity with all creation. Being aware, integrated human beings balance of all aspects of self and others.

New alliances formed between group members/participants:

Joseph's blog www.explorelifeblog.com Robin Resin and Kuan Tirrun-interest non violent communication for seniors and disabled

Creative thinking and new ideas that have emerged:

Consciousness exists on many levels Our job to find balance between our non-life affirming feelings to take courage to be life-affirming. More through fear and anger to find joy/peace and forgiveness. Live beyond judgments. Get in touch with uglier self to gain awareness of the messages that we have within ourselves.
