“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
— Sun Tzu
Dear Friends,
I love seeing people in person … and I also know there is a power and greater accessibility through online options.
Below please see two ways to join us VIRTUALLY — for Wisdom 2.0 2025 and The Essential Series this month.
Wisdom 2.0 2025: DISRUPTION, May 5-6
Wisdom 2.0 begins Monday, and this year we’ll be exploring the theme of DISRUPTION.
Disruption brings undeniable challenges — but the deeper question is: How do we meet them?
In this time of rapid change — from AI to climate shifts to political upheaval — what new opportunities might be emerging?
THE IMPACT OF AI
Take AI alone: According to the Future of Jobs Report, 41% of global companies expect to reduce their workforce due to AI by 2030. That is no small shift.
At Wisdom 2.0 2025, we’ll come together to face the realities of our time, and to uncover the deeper wisdom and teachings that disruption can reveal, in AI and more.
Join us live and get access to all the recordings. $35 - $75 for an online ticket.

Hi Soren, I hope you don't mind me mentioning this video from Jim Garrison of Ubiquity University. You may already be aware of what he has coined as 'The Four Noble Truths' of our current era - 1) We are confronted by accelerating global ecological collapse; 2) We are challenged by increasing global and social instability; 3) We have unleashed exponential Artificial Intelligence; 4) We are discovering Extraterrestrial beings are present on Earth."
In this video he talks about all concerned people, groups and agencies coming together in a conference in Washington DC in December that Ubiquity University is organising to explore solutions. Maybe the Mindfulness community would wish to participate? Cheers, Steve
