The focus of the Women Inventors and Innovators Mural is subtle, powerful and essential for our evolutionary times. Through illuminating the drivers of success and resilience that have enabled women to help change the world over the last 100-plus years–often against great odds–our goal is to help accelerate the necessary shift to a more balanced and equitable world, furthering innovation important for meaningful societal advancement and planetary wellness.

The Truest Thing I’ve Seen All Year
While we re-imagine this site, I couldn’t resist posting this. This is Rx not just for people, but for Earth. We are cells in the planetary body.
The New Science of Remote Causation
NNC is one of the original supporters of this continuing campaign/experiment at Burning Man to determine if something real is being measured…. I Controlled a Huge Freakin’ Laser With My Mind! The New Science of Remote Causation by Tam Hunt, UC Santa Barbara Reprinted from the Santa Barbara Independent Journal, Wednesday, March 27, 201 I contrive no hypotheses. ~ Isaac Newton, discussing gravity in Principia Mathematica Isaac Newton, perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived, did of course make many hypotheses about gravity.

Welcome 2012: Occupy Love
Our wish for 2102 is that this year we will recognize the value of our hearts in true connective intelligence, and we will finally, collectively, Occupy Love. Consider that the heart has its own intrinsic nervous system, a bundle of neurons in the heart that actually qualifies as a brain. Our heart brains communicate information to the brains in our heads—in fact, more information travels from the heart to the head than the other way around, the only organ for which this is true. But we have to be receptive, in a psychophysiological way, to receive its subtle signals. I’ve…
THRIVE Movie Premiers 11.11.11
Thanks to NextNowers Vic Desotelle and Bill Daul for circulating to our NextNowNetwork community. The website is interesting. “My name is Foster Gamble and I’ve spent nearly a lifetime trying to figure out what happened that could account for the staggering agony and deprivation on this planet. I set out on a journey seeking to answer questions like, is it even possible for humans to thrive? I found a code, a pattern in nature, that’s been embedded in arts and icons throughout the centuries. Truth hidden.”
U.S. Peace Index makes TIME, USA Today
NextNow Collab met Steve Killelea in 2007 while preparing the Fifth International Symposium for Digital Earth. Steve couldn’t make it to present at the conference but thanks to our ISDE5 team member Tim Foreman we caught up with him between flights at the San Francisco International Airport where he introduced The Peace Index. We’ve been waiting all these years and it’s amazing to see the Peace Index of the United States completed and launched earlier this month. Now, it’s making the news. From their website and other sources: Just two weeks ago, the Institute for Economics and Peace launched the first-ever United…
