We are especially proud of this fourth episode of Being and Becoming when Dawn Morningstar and Ellen Slater explore what it takes to really be at one with nature, with the idea of ecology, to be in kinship with ourselves and to be in kinship with one another. It feels very important and hopeful to discuss how we can repair our rupture with earth as we remember we are not on earth. We are of earth.

You might choose to listen while walking outside to strengthen the impact.

New World Women, a women’s organization that helps women move beyond an old system built on separation, competition, exclusion, haves and have-nots and women settling for less (or nothing).

New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women), Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) and Mecca Page (founder of BreakAway Arts) collaborated to create a unique business model that shares profits with women to reward them for expanding their consciousness and nurturing themselves. The three are often overheard saying, “Collaboration is queen!’
