Margaret Jones Callahan said… - Thanks Ryan,
Great picture of you.
I am finished my deep retreat, and beginning to teach and lead seminars locally in BC and renew my relationships here.

On Monday at a lunch hosted by CCEPA, David Wheeler spoke on the "real truth" about Nova Scotia's economy. He was focused on solutions and possibilities, and although the most fundamental economic challenges we face (energy security, food security, the biophysical limits to growth, the collapsing global financial system...) got little or no mention, he did nail the… Continue
