2012: Being Awake to a Moment in Cosmic Time, published in Common Ground Magazine.
What is the meaning of this approaching moment in time, winter solstice 2012 -- a day in cosmic time when it is said our solar system will be aligned with the center of our galaxy? There are many different interpretations about what this might mean. According to the Mayan calendar, it is the end of the Great Cycle of 26,000 years.

Larry Merculieff: The Natural Way: 15 minute video clip
(Teachings on the Feminine and the World Soul) View clip here.
Larry Merculieff speaks on indigenous elder wisdom and global challenges. Merculieff is an indigenous messenger and teacher. He has served his people, the Aleut people of the Pribilof Islands and indigenous peoples worldwide, for four decades.
"There is a sacred vibrational field inside a woman that we have forgotten to honor, that is the place of all the things born...What woman have done before time began, was take that sacred vibration and move it outside to create a womb so that something new can be birthed in this world. And we have forgotten that point. And it's really really important now. If we are looking for change in this world - from a physical and spiritual standpoint-- it will never happen until we restore that place...nothing new will be created."
Of Forests and Men: 8 minute video clip (Spiritual Ecology)
To commemorate 2011 as the International Year of Forests, the United Nations appointed Yann Arthus-Bertrand to create a short video to raise consciousness about forests using stunning aerial photography and video footage.
Mother Trees connect the Forest: 5 minute video clip (Spiritual Ecology)
Don't trees only talk to each other in the movies? Professor Suzanne Simard shares her latest research regarding forest ecosystems here. Amazingly, we find that in a forest, 1+1 equals more than 2, as all trees are interconnected with the largest, oldest, "mother trees" serving as hubs. The underground exchange of nutrients increases the survival of younger trees linked into the network of old trees in this fascinating, real-life model of forest resilience and regeneration.
Asking the Right Questions:
Native Perspectives on Sustainability: 3 minute video clip (Spiritual Ecology) View clip here.
Larry Merculieff (Aleut) suggests that understanding how to address the problems we have created requires that we ask the right questions, look inward at ourselves and engage in dialogue with diverse perspectives.
This clip is part of a series exploring the meaning of sustainability from the perspectives of indigenous leaders from the bioregion of Salmon Nation. For a complete transcript of this interview and more from the Native Perspectives on Sustainability project,
