For many years, I have been a fan (truth be told, more of an addict, really) of the 1 Giant Leap project, movie, music. I remember buying a box of their CDs and DVDs, as gifts to friends, when I stumbled upon it first. Then came out the second one of their projects, What About […]
You and a small group of others. A 4-week journey with a retreat at the end. Your Right Livelihood. The Quest. Have you ever asked yourself: How can I add more meaning to my life? What can I do to make a lasting difference in the world? Why am I here? Right Livelihood means expressing […]

Today’s Reflection is about my time in India, that is coming to an end. I have just one more day to complete my almost 3-weeks visit to India. Mostly to teach a 2-week course at the School of Inspired Leadership (https://www.soilindia.net), which is an innovative year-long MBA degree oriented around the 5 values of […]
Today’s Reflection is about a new baby being born. Of sorts. I think that, ultimately, we never really know when it is time for something to happen. Sure, we can make plans, prepare, get things done, and line up all our ducks in a row. There certainly is value in that. We can also trust, […]
Today’s Reflection is about the elections results here in Canada, and my reaction to it.
