"More, something more..."                               At some point we all feel the longing for something more. We might meditate, read, take another course, change jobs or more in hopes of finding an antidote to this dis-ease. The more we long for has been explained as a greater union with the Absolute/God, or a better understanding of Reality, or a heightened Enlightenment.

But the 'More" we seek is not necessarily out there or even within. There's a growing understanding that this longing is a sign of evolutionary consciousness. It seems "to be waking up in the midst of communicating and engaging with other people, with kindred spirits" writes Craig Hamilton. This new or 'more' consciousness that will drive our evolution breaks through, he claims, "when engaged in transformational conversations and other creative interactions, "

Gateway Conversations is a 2 hour program including an introductory film and conversation on conscious evolution. It begins Wednesday, Sept 7 in Haliburton County. But you can invite us to bring the program to YOUR group or social network. Why? What could be more invigorating than cooperating with the evolution of higher consciousness?

To Jake McArthur, 'more'comes from paying more attention. With Sara Thompson, Jake will be leading the Conscious Living workshop this October. In this time you will find the precious space necessary to pay attention to the personal and social death(s) that can make for living more consciously.

For me personally, “More” is what’s not yet. It's what’s still unfolding and evolving. Looking at life with 'evolutionary eyes', I recently realized it was time to retire my perfectionist and become more grateful and affirmative of what I am already and what I am still becoming. Futurist, Barbara Marx Hubbard, calls these stirrings, labour, The future self and species we're becoming is in labour 'now'. There’s really only one response.

Birth 2012, Co-create a Consciousness Shift, is the name of our November Syn Con. More than a conference, it is a Synergistic Convergence, a coming together of longings, visions, resources, intentions, technology, conversations and community. Featuring Barbara Marx Hubbard, this is a conference with a difference. Its structure reflects the shift from a hierarchical pedagogy to one of co-creative community.

This Autumn season, Gaia Centre is seeking and honouring the deep global, and evolutionary longing for something more labouring to break through in you and your colleagues, family and community.

" Your space is safe
And full of possibility
Your space is peaceful
A haven for risk-taking
Your space is communal
transforming seeds to garden".
