The tragic events of September 11 have precipitated a dangerous crisis and, paradoxically, an opportunity for something new and unexpected to emerge. Our positive response is called CONNECT, an online space which will link people who seek to bring what they most value to the issues arising from September 11, 2001. We are opening space for the engagement of multiple patterns of making meaning from a diversity of cultures, spiritual, intellectual, and artistic traditions. We have created a web portal called CONNECT located at http://www.bigmindmedia.com/CONNECT CONNECT includes links to high quality websites, art work, and learning environments from around the world. In addition, there are facilitated dialogues, both public and with invited groups of thought leaders. Such a space will help us: * To explore our assumptions and fears as well as our deepest wisdom. * To connect with each other as human beings, with the hope that our humble explorations will help a more humane collective intelligence to emerge. * To understand the political, economic, social and spiritual forces that can make a difference at this pivotal moment in human history. * To develop a deeper understanding of the conditions that caused the current situation, and couple that understanding with our highest thinking, communication and action for co-creating a better world. We are inviting you to participate in the CONNECT Conversations to share the current edges of your learning, especially since 9/11, and to identify what questions are attracting your attention right now. To register to participate in the CONNECT Conversations, go to http://www.bigmindmedia.com/CONNECT and click on "Conversations" Thank you for your interest and support in this important work. Let's CONNECT! The CONNECT Facilitators, Doug Carmichael, Peter Evans, Rick Ingrasci, Mark R.
