The Gathering for Change Agents
Year Two: "Align Your Outer Game with Your Inner Truth"
Program Archive

Welcome!

Here you will find the full collection of audio and resource archives from Year Two of our monthly Gathering calls. By addressing the 12 requirements for change agents to align their outer game with the inner, this program will help you address the challenges that stop you from manifesting your mission.(To browse the program archives for Year One, Mastering the Inner Game, go to Year 1 Program Archive).

Listen to presentations by leading changemakers and deep, open-hearted sharing with like-minded community. Last year our points of light shared wisdom to remove the dust so we can shine more brightly. This year, we see the many points of light dancing together in larger symphonies of shared purpose. A great planetary shift is happening, and we must transform our unified expression in order to transform the world.

Here’s where you can catch up with any part of the program you missed, review a topic that particularly speaks to you, learn more about the guest experts and explore resources to take the topics deeper.

To a better world that works for everyone,
Your hosts Audrey Seymour and Beth Scanzani

3. The solution changes systems, not just symptoms of the problem.
4. The model prioritizes social impact over financial gain.
5. The model generates a sustainable funding stream.
   

Homework - For those who want to get the most benefit from February's call, we want to share some resources and exercises to help you go deeper:

Take a time this week and seek to engage with your Trusted Source or Spiritual Guide. You can do that in prayer, meditation, walking or even just laying in bed. Ask your Source for support in the Path you most want to grow in.

• If it is the Path of Purpose, ask what you can do to be truer to your divinely created Purpose. See what comes up for you and what you hear back.
• If it is the Path of Partnership, ask what roles you and your Trusted Source would play together.
• If is it the Path of Transformation, ask what activity in the world you need to move to that gets beyond thoughts and moves to actions.

Ask your questions to Trusted Source out loud. Write down what you hear back. Use this to guide your next level of growth.
