reclaim your natural potential lives that efforts the sofa and the series of this rice, i've been exploring how indigenous non h, as inspiring people to mobilize in cyprus, of the planets mean less care for everything. we've been gifted by the responsibility beyond to everyone. i mean, finding out how wisdom traditions us not seem to enter the mainstream. the idea that we've been dreaming is how we think create this conference within sarah many of the christ cool moments when there is no time to lose it. we don't take care of

all of these type of relationship. we have lost. in this episode, i'm learning about 2 other basements. one received an ancient wisdom. the other in science was offering costs ways back to living in harmony with nature. who? uh oh be hm. this is common village, the largest, the just want a straight and you're at some 200 monks and nuns live here, following the teachings of those and most to take me out on the cornerstone of his teachings is the importance of nothing. nature, brother, who is the app? it's just a habit on a full which comprise the ministry input is um we call our mother,

ours and tradition has route from vietnam and in the victim his language doesn't direct translation is f mother. so even without buddhism, there's this concept, there's this indigenous wisdom that, that the earth is the mother of all beings, that the earth has given rise to all the wonders that we get to see read to experience. she gives food, she gives the landscape. the deepest connection to us is by the us. that's very powerful. we cannot be without this. and the language that we use is into being, being here is to be alive. but we cannot be alive by our self. so to be

we have to enter be, and when we have this insight, when we start to see things very differently and to rebuild that relationship of caring and life with this reference to the us and the place in nature is rooted in a fundamental dist principal mindfulness being fully present in the moment. i joined the nuns of new hamlets on that guest for an unusual meditation which phone and internet were so easily distracted, which is the kind of collective illness of today's words. sister trying him, teachers, mindfulness, the cost of aging to energy of close situation and not to be dispersed in $100.00 different directions. and that also helps us to have more clarity so that we can transform the war inside of ourselves. and if you want to be of service, yeah,

that's what we need to do. i found working very slowly in this useful, which is incredibly calming. and i louts being able to enjoy feeling the solid grounds beneath me. and i really felt a connection that made me feel like i was in with them with a wealth around me. mindfulness isn't just about top interstate. it's also affects how we engaged with the world and nature around us. as happy from the ministry small holding firm and he has help grow sustainable organic food for the community. this communion with living. so this really has a capacity to, to make us more happy. and to reconnect this with the web of life. make mcelroy

runs, happy fun. we have a chance to practice mindful little in the garden to be concentrated since that these presence is what you're doing. for the last one. wow, how does need to do it? nature provides plenty to take care, but giving to the land just equally important. so what we want to do with intention is to offer something back to this lens. or if the simplest things is to, to rewind and it's something that we do for the habits that for this time of the emergency, you know, and global fire diversity. but also as a, it's in the, the heating and the transformation of the humans who come to the one village by bearing witness to the healing, which are the measurements confirmation of this land. that's here with me for sure . i see the engines, wisdom that so many wisdom traditions and digital stations knew that we are the

earth. the car is us. the madison's here and the madison. is this living, breathing furnace and buddhist thoughts? mindfulness helps transform the suffering we own experience and the world beyond palm village transformation is urgency needed. the science suggests that natural disasters are they coming more frequent and more intense due to collect the woman is suffering. cost is immense. 2 weeks before i arrived clump village, getting a neighboring countries with hips by tyson yankee. hundreds of thousands of people were displaced under the 800 account. i was so shocked to see so many people dying the. the bodies. sisters town. yeah, i'm trying my tongue of being deeply affected. i'm not then getting them,

but i can feel the suffering. i can feel the pain then roast as a monastic. we learn how to, for a suffering, how to connect with suffering, but not being swept away by suffering. there's a suffering of all these people. and there's also the suffering of the us. and i wondered what's eco, so it's about what mother i is saying to humanity. i think she has been trying to wake us up for a long time. i have the feeling that my, the us to continue calling us sometime has, will be quite a few cold calling. is this a lot of coverage trends and compassion and love each one of us has a role to we were gnostics, we have a role fee to we take care of full of people and you, you take care of the us and we take care of you so we into our that's why we need

the practice. we need to order the c so joy of happiness, of peace every day in order to hold this so frame and to embrace, to transform the manages our relationships as he has been slowly changing the system. the only thing in transmission christiana to garris, was instrumental in the creation of the service agreements that global pact adopted in 2015. the limits for me in order to avoid the catastrophic climate change. she now can see it as plum village, a spiritual home. it is such a refuge. it's not a hideaway refuge. it's a fill up your tank type refuge and i'm taking out

cons teachings on ideas like into being and deep listening. gave christianity in a tools that helps make the historic you entry to possible. what we have in common is our common humanity. so to dissolve boundaries between you and me between one nation and another nation to dissolve boundaries between what i think is possible and what i think is impossible. does it possibilities are basically infinite for what we can support each other and collaborate on. but despite the goals of the powers agreements, progress seems painfully slow and climate campaign is a feeling, the pressure i have witnessed so much of pain, so much desperation,

so much grief, so much despair burn out anger in the climate community that i could just no longer have my plum village practice as my own personal little secret. i had to share this with those who would want to engage and who are open. christiano began working with by the fact who on the plum village team to also help the climate, the doesn't. activists experiencing challenges as a result of that work together they designed retreats, intended to foster resilience and hope. then what is the johnny that you are hoping to take for trace it's on. we start by going in helping people to strengthen their introspection capacity, allowing them to see that ironically, systems change is deeply personal because we're all involved in systems change at

the biggest planetary level, we have never faced anything like the environmental challenges that we have now. what are you hoping to with a nice with the end? so at the end, we would hope that they can understand being in touch with emotions and feelings. and then having the ability to welcome the present moment. whatever is inside, such as doubt, even hopelessness. but then touch that potential, that is also in us and a, the alternate throughout the journey of the retreat. almost in every talk, without this there. because we're so much to touch with suffering and is real the suffering the screen. but the joy can also be very real in the queue right now. the,

over the past 3 years, christiana and the plum village team village retreats a 100 to climate campaign, is around the world listing alliances and friendships of being phones and supports networks have flourished. understanding that all is into related into connected not understanding is what gives us the agency to have an impact of whatever level of the system we choose to have. the impact your building are very powerful and effective community. here we are together helping to grow is a web of people that are motivated to work from a place of love for self, for others,

for nature. and these people will create much that we think now is impossible. but then we're going to make possible the only to fall back in that way. because love gives birth to care, love, guess, best to reference. and when we call back in and off with a, we would then want to care the you know, what a free connecting to ourselves and nature isn't just the goodness of the climate campaign is based on may seem a bit spiritual and is so tired. so somebody watching, but the link between and a lot of transformation is an idea of as being shopkins and more secular concepts as well. to find out more accomplished regions. capital stock combs some type of

conference put on by an organization could be in a defendant, has many of you has come here today because you share this the lease and humanities capacity to develop and through depths, create a more shots and more peaceful and more sustainable future, we want to come to read the most up to rates the summit tools to you can play aware of so many of the problems that we're facing globally. and we're also aware of so many of the solutions for which it's not implementing that. so the question is not so much what needs to be done, but why are we doing it? and the vision of the id chief, the end of development goals, is that we want to bring the power in a development to all will challenge us the end of development goals. so id, cheese creates it in response to the you and sustainable development goals. adults in 2015 targets relating to time attraction, conservation,

education to neighbors. if you approve todd to implement frustratingly that will progress made many feel it's the very systems we lose by this it preventing change all the systems i outcome of the way we human beings think and feel and act and plates with ourselves with others, with the weld coughing tone is an aspect on fostering social change to happiness and well being. and mindfulness teacher who trained undertaking yet ton. so the idea that we need to transform ourselves or consciousness for structural change to be sustainable is been around for a while. it's nothing new, but i think more and more people are aware that now is the time we cannot wait anymore. we have to do something about it. and this something is really connecting,

connecting in the trends formation, which sort of change who the unit development goals have. lifetime mentions may relate to collaborating and acting the idea or is that tools like mindfulness and connection to nature help develop skills and these dimensions qualities such as compassion, courage, presence, all things i've heard about at some village. and if we work on these skills will understand ourselves each other. electronics move really, what we need today is a movement saying, you know what, maybe enter development should be available to everyone. no matter financial means . maybe it's even should be a human rights. because this is how we solve the biggest problems. and he's near a scientist. eric sent home was one of the id, chase creatives in the team. what through the scientific data synthesizing it into

an easily understandable roadmap which allows you to how sometimes is in the room, 90 days is basically 5 categories of plenty for your skills. and these are the things that a tough think or is i'm researchers and experts in the world. i agree on are the skills needed to create the better future? and if we don't talk about these shifts that need to happen in the structure, culture and individuals, we have no chance of reaching sustainability. the way that we're solving problems is the problem. and that means that we need to change if we want to see a better future. right. and the desire to change is growing. 1500 people here in tests and 10000 online academics, educators, activists and office and attendance. big businesses, including homework jobs, ikea also in boats. if i look at i p, i think last so many call us and we want us to be here at positive steps in terms of how we work without doing good at ease in the united nations is involved working

with the us triple se, fremont conventional kind of change, i think it's, it's quite a historic it's nothing less than i'm very optimistic. it's not the one time that people come don't go back home and everybody forget about the workload is because yes it is the beginning of process integration out, the action for change and in the order entry much while joy super. yes,

not often that you hear things like love, joy, peace referred to in a conference that thing unless some establishment people had from big companies, government the u. n. but it was such an energy in the room. and it's really fascinating to see how the big, the connection to the n a is actually making a difference in the house of wells. because of people who are here ahead to do, they really want to have an impact on our planet. which is, summit is coming to an end the id g team, a wasting no time. they had to ex, cut it, and i end of the board succeed east of stop. com along with a small group of advises. they planned to discuss the building on the success of the conference and they didn't find took me to join them. the, the id g team have come here is that if it's

a full island for theaters of decompression and think bracing off the conference with, i'm gonna side here is the 1st lady and representatives from the u. n. and the white house about the changing the system from within. well, these are pretty good people to be working with we need to understand the problems like why do we have all this resistance? why have we lost in our development if it has been part of our physician for so many thousands of years in the course beyond item henriksen, c i d, g 's, executive director. and the 1st thing is how many people even care about sustainability or the planets? because we are lost in the external worlds trying to compete with each other to get a faster car or a bigger house or something more shiny. and i think all wisdom traditions have pointed to this, that we need to have these skills and abilities to take care of the world of each other in the wise way,

especially for leaders. and this has to do with maybe compassion and empathy. and our ability to think long term and not just the when my next salary will show up, or what happens next year, but actually to see where are we heading and ask the big questions. and one of the biggest questions right now is how we relate to nature. talking about the disconnect from nature in most of such natural v h a y, if you will come here. i guess it's just down survey. so now that when we are out of nature and really fifths, the perspective of who we are, science is showing us that you are so interconnected with all the living systems, the insects and michael by owns the water reality is interconnection. but our narrative, the separation, us acting out the narrative, the separation is what's causing and sustainability. so that's just the fact. i

mean, that's not my opinion. this is factual, right? so therefore, it is actual insanity, to act from a separate that relationship to nature, to others. because they are one and the same struck by how similar the science of interconnection is to the plum village principles into paying as much of the indigenous wisdom i've encountered on my journey and this series. it's a thought i code by 2 of the id, cheese advises that in the development goals. it's not a new thing to the want. it's actually something that's been in practice in different traditions. so they've faith traditions. so different cultures, indigenous cultures. and this thing ability from an indigenous lens is not something to achieve. we're concerned with this thing to bring it in a day to day basis. and so this is an opportunity, i think, for us as human beings to consider what our collective values,

no matter where we're coming from. one of those values that we can share as the money to that could actually present a brand new system that's different to what goes up here in the 1st things we don't want to have to go backwards to pull down everything that we've built and throw away all the great, you know, innovations, medicine, housing, all the things that we've built since about that translation. how do we actually take what we can learn from these ways of seeing the world and integrate them into modern day western culture? so i think what the identities does is gives people that step off the way they've always done things and an opening into how things could be what is the future, could you imagine 15 to your relationship between humanity on it that you envisage? i mean, i can give you the scientific answer, but my own the answer to that is love's just funny and now

look, a gift that we've been given that we can be here to a conscious and we can create these are miracles and aligning ourselves to only creating something that is more beautiful, more caring, more loving, and just the more align with reality, the reality of interconnection, the reality that you are nature, we are connected and the future of nature in the future of humanity is heather. what i find really fascinating is that the idea is the values, the skills that the i d g is talk about are actually the concepts that i've been encountering on my jennings. whether it's in plum, village reporters monitoring, whether it's with wisdom, cheapest, on each of them at the heart, as saying the same thing. that sustainability is about the internal transformation . a different way of relating to ourselves to each other. and to all time it's,

it's about learning to live in harmony with us. i'm remembering that we all part with this extraordinary planetary ecosystem, which is all hi, i'm, i'm that we a parts of nature take this episode if, as rises brought to you in part by the by baskets, reclaim your natural potential, live the assets they've been waiting all night to the beach to come. it's the name migrants have given to not one, but a network of cargo trains that hit through mexico up to the us border. there were free really no way to try and avoid mexican migration. despite the changes these people want to take, you know, as soon as possible the training says scope doesn't fit, flores word came up for,

but they were expect bad. so you know, the next on the try to try and get up isn't on the car. it is a type of people who up ahead move challenges to noisy nose, mexico or us president who doesn't want to finance. the beast goes on, wants of the capital of the committee or empire. the serene ancient city of uncle and president, they can vote here is it protected unesco world heritage sites. but as it's temples of lakes and irrigation canals are being preserved, many of its inhabitants are being relocated. people in power investigates, the alleged forced evictions of thousands of families the bathroom for the soul of anchored box part to adjust the we are sure to see the status of the legend, some gloves and the stories of

civilizations that market history wants. this is where the story of savannah do you have any stories to tell the the, the emotional scenes in the occupied westbank in guys that 110, not assuming prisoners are released after a delay by is really a stories the backs of where you're watching halogens here i live from bill i also coming up the 3 is read the captives and 5 tie nationals that.
