The aim is to ignite, sustain, and refresh the passion and commitment of those who want to live more consciously and compassionately on the planet, with other people, and with themselves.With contributions from:Demetrius BagleyRick BogleMaddie CartwrightAnne DinshahAshley CurtisTracy CurtisKara DavisKaren Davis, Ph.D.Jason DerryDaniel EarleJean ForstIselin GambertLara GoodmanRuby GoodmanJennifer GloodtJulie HananSangamithra IyerKare KapelnikovaShelly KaplanMadeleine LifseyAlexa McCormackJacqueline MorrVictoria MoranLinda NelsonIngrid E.
