Fierce Compassion: A Workshop About Spirituality And Activism

July 6, 2017 by Colin Beavan Leave a Comment

We all know about accelerating climate change, failing democracy, endemic racism and other dire global news. Should we have hope? Should we be in despair? What, in fact, should we do? How can we respond in ways that make us feel we are taking care of ourselves while actually helping the world? That is the subject of a workshop on Spiritual Activism I’m co-leading with Lama Willa Miller at the Garrison Institute this September. You should come!

Ambiguity Is The Engine

November 15, 2016 by Colin Beavan Leave a Comment

There is a lot of ambiguity in the air. The election results. Concern about our own lives. The climate. The state of the world in general. The changing economy. The replacement of jobs by freelance work. Don’t try to escape ambiguity by making up stories; escape your ambiguity by taking actions towards a vision for a better life and world.

Yesterday, President Obama, speaking in Tucson, Arizona in the wake of the recent shootings, said: “At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we […]

One American’s effort to bond over our shared concerns intead of fighting over our differences

November 21, 2010 by Colin Beavan Leave a Comment

I've been worried for a long time that the entire world is held up in solving its problems by the division in the American political system. It's the Republicans' fault. No, it's the Democrats' fault. No, it's the Republicans' fault. No, it's the Democrats' fault. No, it's the Republicans' fault. No, it's the Democrats' fault. […]

Reuse by having community “free stores”

August 17, 2010 by Colin Beavan Leave a Comment

It saves resources, saves money, and builds community. What I like about this kind of thing is that any of us can start it anywhere at any time without going through any of the existing power structures–corporations, non-profits, government. It's pure citizen action that is both better for the people and better for the planet: […]

Eco groups! Wanna screen No Impact Man on Earth Week?

February 23, 2010 by Colin Beavan Leave a Comment

Stephanie, my colleague at the No Impact Project, asked me to draw your attention to the fact that we are having a screening series of No Impact Man during Earth Week in April.
