The Happy and Prosperous Blog

This is going to be a fairly short post this week. The reason being that I’m going to the Middle East soon to teach for a few days. I’ve been deep in preparation for that so haven’t had much time available. I think I’ve nearly got it all complete now though. I’ll tell you more about my trip when I get back next weekend.

So, for today, I just wanted to let you know about an online community called Gaia. You may already know about this of course, however, my impression is that it doesn’t get a great deal of publicity on the internet. I read a good few blogs every week and like to think I am quite up to date with what’s going on, yet I rarely see anyone mention Gaia.

There are so many social networking sites out there - general ones like Facebook, ones focussed on the ‘Boomer’ generation like Eons and special interest ones like Hugg for people specifically interested in ‘green’ issues.

The reason I want to bring Gaia (previously known as Zaadz) to your attention (apart from my assumption that it is not that well-known) is that it is for people interested in changing the world for the better. That’s me and I’m guessing that it could be you too.

This is what Gaia is all about

Our Mission. We’re here to change the world. You’ve probably heard Gandhi’s beautiful directive to “be the change to wish to see in the world”? Well, we’re here to help you do just that. We’re here to remind you to listen to your own heart, to discover your path-and to do something about it. We’re here to encourage you to live your dreams. Because really… what’s the difference between the deep longing within your heart and the call of the planet as a whole?

We’re already building the most inspired and supportive community you’ll find online-a network of seekers, visionaries, artists, environmentalists, healers, dreamers, creators, and conscious entrepreneurs, of all ages and from countries around the world. (We think this alone is pretty powerful: just imagine being supported by thousands of others who’ll encourage you to create the life you’ve dreamed of!) And we’re in the process of building a platform that’ll help those of you who are already working for yourselves to grow your businesses-so that we can all participate in circulating wealth and wisdom in a way that honors our connection to each other and to the planet.

I’ve been a member for about 6 months. I have to confess that I have not been a very active member during that time and I do plan to explore the site more and to participate in the community.

If you do decide to join (or if you’re already a member), do ‘friend’ me. This is my profile. Hope to see you there.

(You can also catch up with me on Facebook.)
