The Next Women's Liberation

Posted on Sep 25th, 2008 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri
Women, Enlightenment & the Evolution of Culture


The Next Women’s Liberation:

On Saturday, October 4, women from all over the world will come together in cyberspace with the bold aim of evolving new potentials in consciousness that can radically transform the very ground of our relationships and culture. You’re invited to be one of them.

I want to encourage any of you that might be able, to join me on October 4th for what promises to be an incredible day full of discovery, depth, and unity. My dear collegue and friend, Dr. Elizabeth Debold will open an exploration into deep time and culture so that we can become clear about exactly what it means to evolve beyond where we are now. Elizabeth is the senior editor of EnlightenNext magazine as well as a bestselling author, Harvard-trained developmental psychologist (and colleague of Carol Gilligan), and feminist activist. She is an internationally recognized gender theorist who, after twelve years studying Evolutionary Enlightenment, brings a rare integral and evolutionary perspective to understanding how women must next evolve. She has shared her expertise on women’s development on NPR’s 51% as well as on Oprah and Good Morning America.

I do hope that many of you will be able to attend this virtual retreat. Please email me with any questions. I can't think of a better way to spend the day.

The Ultimate Expression of Self Mastery

Posted on Mar 31st, 2008 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri
The Authentic Self

In my work with spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen, I continue to find that the ultimate form of Self Mastery has to do with doing whatever it takes to align oneself with the creative principle itself, at the level of the soul. Not just for a particular endeavor, but as an integrated expression in everything one is doing in life. And it is a 24/7 commitment, and in my understanding, is what spiritual life is all about.  I was thrilled to see this video that my friend Ros, also a student, made recently. Andrew transmits the essence of the goal of spiritual life--which is to become a wholehearted expression of the Authentic Self, and in that, become one with the creative principle that started this whole outrageous process, which is who we all are at the deepest level of our being.  Could there be anything more bold or audacious then this? Please enjoy.

My role on the Gaia Team

Posted on Feb 13th, 2008 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri

Terri Hinton

terri


Sponsorship Coordinator Catalyst

What's your role at Gaia Community? I get to sell our advertising… which I love to do. I talk with individuals in different companies who are interested in reaching out to the Gaia Community. I help them determine the most effective way to do this. We work out an advertising plan that can include creating their own profile, banner ads, stand alone emails to all of us about their great product or service, and anything else creative that might come up.

What do you most enjoy doing (or what are your greatest passions)? My greatest passion has been the pursuit of truth and wisdom. I also love the complexity of human relationships, the silence of meditation, the emptiness of freedom, and the commitment to change that demands more then I want to give. Simply put I love life, and take serious my own contribution to what matters.

What's your favorite thing about our community? This community is filled with individuals who recognize that it is important to live with purpose and commitment. This opens up all kinds of potentials.

What do you love about working here? The freedom and shared commitment to living our ideal, changing ourselves, developing ourselves, in order to better serve the life we are living. It is an incredible opportunity to be involved with people who are interested in development and growth, and respect and honor that in each other.

Enlightened Communication

Posted on Jan 17th, 2008 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri

I am just heading into a "Revolution Retreat" with 92 other men and women. I look forward to sharing the results of this investigation in the coming weeks, months, and years. And check out this video, it is all about Enlightened Communication, and why this is important. We are living in a unique time. Let's figure out how to use this to change this world. I am convinced this is the next step in our evolutionary trajectory.

more soon!

A reason to believe that this platform is our future

Posted on Jan 16th, 2008 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri

I found it very serendipitous that a friend of mine sent me the link to an article by Kevin Kelly from Wired magazine. Why? Because in it he describes how convinced he was that Wikipedia would never work... and how much it has changed his thinking in the deepest sense that it actually does. Given that Zaadz is now Gaia, and there are all kinds of questions about whether or not this "will work" I found this article absolutely refreshing... a reminder of just how much is possible...  After all, Zaadz and now Gaia are always proving that when enough individuals care enough... the result is always good. Check this particular quote out...

“Before we say, "Impossible!" I say, let's see. I know all the reasons why law can never be written by know-nothing amateurs. But having already changed my mind once on this, I am slow to jump to conclusions again. The Wikipedia is impossible, but here it is. It is one of those things impossible in theory, but possible in practice. Once you confront the fact that it works, you have to shift your expectation of what else that is impossible in theory might work in practice.”

 

read the rest… it’s fantastic.

Steve Nash, Basketball, and Heart

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri
Ok… so I am in…. for years now my husband has been watching Basketball and encouraging me, nudging me, patiently waiting for me to “get it”. It is a bit of a surprise that I am not into it, given I have a background in playing college sports myself…But, I wasn’t. Well, that changed as of last night thanks to my friend Ellen, who encouraged me through her own newly converted passion for the sport to come over and watch the game. I am totally in. After watching Steve Nash going for it with his team mates… how could I not be.
In all honesty, it is things like this that I find deeply inspiring… The way this guy is so FOR his team and for the sport. It calls out the best in you when you see this level of skill matched with what appears to be a real camaraderie and commitment to the team… it proves something important to all of us. We only become great when we are living for something more then ourselves.

Enjoy…

Can you measure Enlightenment?

Posted on Feb 15th, 2007 by Terri : Add a Zero Terri

Hi Everyone,

I just spent quite a weekend together with 50 or so other men and women (close spiritual comrades) as we explored with our teacher Andrew Cohen an insight of Andrew's that is beginning to redefine our work together. It has everything to do with a view on Enlightenment that should indeed be measurable for those interested in beginning to try to define with objectivity and serious scrutiny what Enlightenment might look like through the lens of AQAL....

Andrew writes about it here.. so please do check it out...

looking forward to comments... and more later...

Terri
