"When work for a more just, equitable and sustainable
society is championed by individuals and organizations
that cultivate compassion and presence as much as they do
strategies and campaigns, potential for real transformation,
both personal and social, -- Transformative Change -- Begins..."
-- angel Kyodo williams, Guiding Teacher, Center for Transformative Change

Developing presence--the continuous, moment-to-moment practice of being in relationship with every aspect of our lives, helps us unite our good intentions to BE the change we wish to see, by adding the practical aspect of helping folks to figure out HOW.

During the 27 Days of Change, you commit to intensifying contemplative practice and attention on three levels, which when brought together, form a holistic relationship to our life and creates the conditions for transformation:

1. inner: personal development focus, sitting/body practices
2. interpersonal: relationships & community participation
3. global/social: examination of our personal impact on the world we live in

Seal your Commitment:

To seal your commitment, fill out an Intention Agreement that
allows you to consider areas of your life to deepen.

Practice Period Participants also commit to keeping a daily practice journal and to two Practice Period Group meetings. Participants should expect to engage the full Practice Period, making only essential adjustments as absolutely necessary for one's life.
