Counting to Three: Working Together for a Better World (ID #004)
Date: 6/6/2008 to 7/3/2008
Duration: 4 weeks
Host: Kern Beare
Topic(s): 4
Overview:
We humans share a common home and a common destiny. This gives us a powerful incentive to work together to build a world that works for all life.
Beyond a shared vision of a better world, however, we may also benefit from a commonly held set of principles that help create the conditions for creative cooperation. These principles, to have value, must honor both our common humanity and the beauty and strength of our diversity.

In this conversation we explore four principles that may serve this purpose. These are to be present, authentic, inclusive, and responsible.
1. Introduce yourself to the other participants and share what draws you to this conversation.
2. This week, watch the following two short videos, Being Present, and Being Present: A Meditation.
