I choose to design in a way that fills our minds with meaning, our hearts with ecstasy, and our world with beauty.

Hello Cultural Mavricks

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER

This is a place to create networks and teams that are interested in collaboratively building communities and organizations based in principles of sustainable design, organizational learning, social innovation. Are you a creator of technologies that are consciously developed and work for a growing planetary society? Are you a mythist who knows the power of reframing our minds and views it as a sacred act? I'll be your host. Contact me at ChangingNormal@DiscoveryFuel.com.

This is a world of interactive knowledge transfers, applications exchanges, and exploratory connections. I may have initiated this collaboration effort for our Changing Normal society, but it's outcome is how WE as a collective create together. Sooooo, let me know what you think. What do you have on your mind? How would you like to support this community?

Links Between Art Science and Spirituality, The Ecology of Design and Design System Principles, Collaboration as a Tool for Transformation, Creating Sustainable Learning Communities, Mythos and Mythology, Technology as Sacred
What are your deepest passions in life?
Envisioning a world-wide network of sustainable technology innovation centers where the idea of sacred is a primary principle of design.

What do want to discover here or elsewhere?
A whole new world that is conscious unto and beyond itself.
What would you like all of us to know, to learn, or be inspired by?
- from 'fractured parts' to 'fractal wholes'
- the question is the answer
- 'the environment' is a statement of separation
- peace is not an idea nor a thing, it's an emotion
- learn as a child learns; through play
- join me at the great dance to celebrate the approaching alchemical wedding
- truth makes mine something that is not yours
- thought does not know 'not'
- innovative mind is sandwiched between inventive body and inspirational soul
- technology is our attempt to reach out and touch god
- design is a sacred vessel for holding our prayers of intention
How'd you find us?
I just sort-a came up with the idea ... kinda cool
How do you want to engage this community? I want to ...
Other

The Gift: Remembering Our Humanity in the Making of Something New

Have you ever noticed how video ratings get very close but rarely hit “5” as an average? Well, these 3 videos hit that big ‘5’ rating, with the first two presently around a million views, and the third ‘hugs’ video having over 57 million.

The Awakening (Author unknown)

A time comes in your life when you finally get…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH1 Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.



This is your… Continue

Orrrr ... Donating even just $3.33 will help keep this adventure going. Only three dollars and thirty three cents (3 is a magic number for me : ) A few green-backs (3 1/3 to be exact) start to add up. So your donation will actually go a longggg way in helping to 'change normal' : )


HELP KEEP THIS ADVENTURE GOING. Consider donating between $3.33 or $33.33 to help make it so. Email me, Vic Desotelle, if you have any questions.
