Let’s Start a Movement!

Four.Years.Go. Now imagine the possibilities!

There’s so much blogging, facebooking, texting,  emailing, tweeting, and direct messaging going on these days that I barely know where information is coming from anymore. At first I noticed the title had Nonviolence and Birth Canal in it and I thought that I had somehow been sent the message by accident after I tweeted about a documentary I watched The Business of Being Born (you’ll want a water birth five minutes later, I swear) and a smaller, shorter film called Born in PEI.

But somehow this message reached me, and I thought I should share it. I was immediately totally inspired by the writer Clayton Barker who is working on this project,  (check out his info here http://www.indiegogo.com/Being-in-the-Integral-Nonviolence-Birth-Canal ).

When I read his plan to create an experiential book research project (first of all – i love the sound of that), I felt like I was reading Three Cups of Tea again and experiencing the amazing beginnings of Greg Mortenson as he discovered those isolated mountains in Pakistan and resolved to start building schools there. Yes for making things happen!

Let’s do it! Let’s start a movement!

Read about Barker’s “A Living Book Research Project & Journey of Experiential-Learning” at his blog, Co-Creating Connection. There are several ways to donate money, time, and energy to this project, and many of the perks involve Clayton himself calling you and singing, “thank you” in 35 languages.

If you have an idea, or you would like to start a movement, please leave your comments, email me, co-write a book with me, start a project, or join my movement – the one where I publish a book this year! I’m waiting for you!
