 EcoMind – Changing the Way We Think to Create the World We Want: A Conversation with Anna Lappe
Do we really have a dangerous climate change underway? Is it man-made or not? Is there anything each of us as individuals can do about it? Huge amounts of money are spent to convince us that there is nothing to worry about, and as President George Bush said after Sept 11, “Whatever you do, don’t stop shopping.”
Today’s guest, widely respected author and educator Anna Lappe, disagrees with Faux News and others who disclaim the “Climate Change Hoax” of the scientific community. Known for her work as an expert on food systems and as a sustainable food advocate, Anna shares with us her belief that ideas have enormous power and that humans are capable of changing failing ideas in order to turn our planet toward life.
In this revealing conversation we try to identify the core, often unspoken, assumptions and forces now taking our planet in a direction that, as individuals, none of us would choose. We look beneath the wasteful and superficial “consumer frenzy,” to see that consumption is a wonderful window into our feelings of empowerment, security and connection, and beyond technology fixation to see the importance of relationships in the change we want to make.
Anna shares with us the power of our mental frames, how we have been programmed to believe in the myth of corporate power, and how we can, instead, dispel the helplessness and hopelessness we have been trained to feel, and bring our true power forth. Through her Small planet mission Anna teaches people that they need no longer disparage their actions as “mere drops in the bucket.” Once we’re able to see the “bucket,” we realize our drops are quite spectacular. Come; join us in this very timely conversation. You can purchase Anna’s most recent book, Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It at Dr.Miller Recommends Amazon Store.

Verbal First Aid The Power of Words, Images, and Stories to Help and Heal: A Conversation with Dr. Judith Prager"
You will be fascinated and entertained as Dr. Prager and I explore the power of words to impact beliefs and engender healing. Learn about the power we all have within to transform not only our own lives but the lives of others. Everyone has the opportunity to create miracles by choosing carefully the words they use and how they speak to others (and especially themselves) in calm times as well as in high-stress situations.
We will examine some of the ideas presented in her very popular book, Verbal First Aid Helping your Kids Heal from Fear and Pain and Come Out Strong, as well as in her newly released book, Owie Cadabra – Verbal First Aid for Kids. Then we will learn some simple ways to turn a scare into a comfort, a hurt into a healing, and a potential trauma into a memory of courage. You will hear some valuable perspectives on major life challenges and learn how to transform crisis situations into positive, empowering experiences (by adjusting your attitude through your self-talk, changing the images you hold in your mind, and the stories you tell yourself).
You will be especially charmed by the beauty and wisdom of her approach to communicating to children, especially in emergency situations. Make sure all the parents you know get to hear this one.
Dr. Prager will share her observation that far too many of today’s hospital-born babies are quickly taken into sterile nurseries and hooked up to beeping machines. Her suspicion is that, instead of bonding with the mother, this generation of newborns is bonding with machines.
And, most of all, you will get to meet a woman who is truly a healing spirit, her mission to help create a better future where we are all aware of the energy field around each of us, and between all of us. This energy field is so easily enlightened or shattered. Just to experience her positive energy makes this interview worthwhile

Social Neurobiology, Positive Psychology & Mirror Neurons~ A Conversation with Bobbie Burdett
Bobbie Burdett is a life coach, a trainer of life coaches, director of training for Health World online. The focus of her coaching is authenticity.
Among the fascinating things we will explore will be the field of Social Neurobiology. The work of Dan Seigel in this field has verified what many of us have believed all along, that It’s impossible to truly address the health and well-being of an individual simply by treating the mind and the body – that interpersonal relationships are of crucial importance. After all, the human infant – at birth the human brain is only 25% formed, the other 75% forms as a result of pathways laid down by social interactions – with family, school, community, etc.
We’ll learn about the central importance of the sensing dimension which has been suppressed in so many of us, look at the mind as a process that regulates the flow of energy within the brain and body as if functioning as an internal GPS guiding us down a neural super-highway. We’ll also talk a little bit about Positive Psychology, and the role of the newly discovered “mirror neurons” that give rise to empathy – and how healing this dimension is maybe the deciding factor in personal and community health and wellness.
Bobbie is very upbeat and fun to listen to. Be ready for a stimulating and uplifting experience.

Co-Intelligence Institute, a nonprofit organization ~ A Conversation with Tom Atlee
Why is our world (especially our politicians) so polarized? Why do we act as if we believe that the greatest truth comes from opposing sides jousting rather than searching together for greater truth by including, encouraging, and creatively engaging a full range of diverse perspectives? What is Dynamic Facilitation and how can it help us access our collective intelligence and our collective wisdom?
Our guest today is Tom Atlee, co-director and research director of the HYPERLINK "http://www.co-intelligence.org/CII-1.html" Co-Intelligence Institute, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1996. His early co-intelligence research in the late 1980s focused on the relationship between group dynamics and HYPERLINK "http://www.co-intelligence.org/Collective_Intelligence.html" collective intelligence, society’s capacity to function as HYPERLINK "http://www.co-intelligence.org/CIdemocracypolitics_theory.html" a wise democracy, and HYPERLINK "http://www.co-intelligence.org/EvolutionaryPastToFuture.html" the conscious evolution of social systems.
In this highly stimulating conversation we explore polarization and how we can instead awaken the inherent (and emergent) wisdom in a group. Tom will share the principles of dynamic facilitation, where people do not have to sacrifice their passion or their positions, where, instead, the energy of the polarization can be captured and guided towards channeling the energies surrounding our 21st century social and environmental crises into positive possibilities and system-transforming initiatives.

Climate Change and Scientific Chutzpah, A Conversation with Alan Journet
Is climate change as important as some people say? What does rigorous science tell us, and where are all the scientists. Alan Journet, as a professor of Ecology and Conservation, has spent many decades studying the systems that make human life possible on this planet, and is one of the champions in the field.
Scientists are unique people. They differ from businessmen, artists, and politicians in that they are dedicated to the truth. They reach the truth through critical thinking (see Truthiness Fever Audiobook). Scientists know the truth, but few of them speak out.
In this very informative and honest conversation, Prof. Journet will focus on the consensus reached by the true experts in the field, how people let their political beliefs trump their professional expertise, and why our scientists need to act now.
By the time he had begun his studies on CO2 and global temperature on the 1970s, he had already developed a strong, “moral, ethical commitment to the idea that all species on the planet have a right to be here. It’s not our right to simply exterminate them at will, but we must or should maintain some kind of responsibility to the species around us, in addition to just ourselves.” His work has been to honor these beliefs.
Why do we humans so often act against our own self-interest? Prof. Journet explains in remarkably clear terms the conundrum known as The Tragedy of the Commons, and what we need to do to overcome this evolutionary shortcoming of our race. Only agreements that are enforced and kept can save us from this tragedy, for this we need a functioning government (what a concept).
We also reflect on my experiences in Bali and the changes that “progress” has brought to the island and, as usual, we will learn more about how this dedicated man chose to spend his life working for all of us. Join us – you will have fun and learn.

Thinking our way out of extinction, A Conversation with Rebecca Costa
Author of The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction Rebecca Costa is a sociobiologist who offers a genetic explanation for current events, emerging trends and individual behavior. A thought-leader and provocative new voice in the mold of Thomas Friedman, Malcolm Gladwell and Jared Diamond, Costa examines “the big picture”– tracing everything from terrorism, crime on Wall Street, epidemic obesity and upheaval in the Middle East to evolutionary forces.
Retiring at the zenith of her career in Silicon Valley, Costa spent six years researching and writing The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction. In her book, Costa explains how the principles governing evolution cause and provide a solution for global gridlock. When asked why the book has special significance today, Costa claims, “Every person I know, rich or poor, educated or not, wants to know why our government gets more in debt, our air and water more polluted, our jails more crowded, our security more tenuous and our children more violent. We seem to have lost our ability to solve our problems. The Watchman’s Rattle offers a genetic explanation for our paralysis, and prescribes a way out.”
The success of Costa’s first book led to a weekly radio program in 2010 called Rattler Radio. In 2011 the program was renamed and syndicated as The Costa Report. The Costa Report is currently one of the fastest growing radio programs on the Central Coast of California.
A former CEO and founder of one of the largest marketing firms in Silicon Valley (sold in 1997 to J. Walter Thompson), Costa developed an extensive track record of introducing new technologies. Her clients included industry giants such as Hewlett-Packard, Apple Computer, Oracle Corporation, Seibel Systems, 3M, Amdahl, and General Electric Corporation. Costa is known for marketing the world’s first computer-aided design and manufacturing systems (CAD/CAM), computer networking, and first multi-media microprocessors. She also pioneered the early markets for optical disks, internet-based marketing, electronic engineering records retrieval, wireless keyboards, digital scanners, just-in time inventory software and a host of other innovations in use around the world today.
Raised in Tokyo, Japan, Costa lived during the Vietnam conflict in Vientiane, Laos, where her father worked in covert CIA operations. She attributes her ability to see the “big picture” to her cross-cultural education and upbringing. She graduated from The University of California at Santa Barbara with a Bachelors Degree in Social Sciences. Rebecca Costa lives on the central coast of California with her beloved dog, Tonka.

He is the author of Relaxing into Clear Seeing, How About Now, The Last Laugh (a novel), and the creator of the Living Essence Tapes Series. Ardagh was educated in England, at Kings School, Canterbury, and later at Cambridge University, where he earned a master’s degree in literature. Since the age of fourteen he has had a passionate interest in spiritual awakening, and he began to practice meditation and yoga at that time. In his late teens he trained as a meditation teacher. After graduating from Cambridge, Ardagh devoted himself completely to the call he felt inside himself, and studied and lived with a number of great spiritual teachers, both in Asia and in the US. In 1987 he founded the Alchemy Institute in Seattle, Washington, and trained several hundred people in a transpersonal approach to hypnotherapy.
In 1991 he returned to India for a period of prolonged meditation and met H. W. L. Poonjaji, a direct devotee of the great sage Ramana Maharshi, with whom he went through a radical shift of perspective. After returning to Seattle, he began to share this awakened view with other people at Poonjaji’s request, facilitating a dramatic shift in awareness with thousands of people throughout the United States and Europe.
Ardagh has developed the Living Essence Training, which prepares people to be facilitators of this shift in consciousness and to cultivate translucence. He speaks at many international conferences, and has appeared on TV, on the radio and in print media in twelve countries. He also teaches the Deeper Love seminars with his Norwegian wife, Chameli Gad Ardagh.
