Hello friends...

The longer days of approaching spring give many of us hope. We feel the planet's annual cycle of growth, regeneration, and warmth.

Despite that, it's hard to not feel conflicted due to the reality of the meta-crisis we face as humans on Earth. True hope must be rooted in this reality. Those are among the thoughts Roger explores in his blog this month.

And welcome to those who recently joined the Planet Community since our Shift-Kicking event last month. It's inspiring to share and interact with you!

Sincerely,
The Team at the Planet Project

Thank you Monika Chace for donating your beautiful photo!

Hope: It's Complicated - our latest blog

In this month’s blog Planet Project co-founder Roger Briggs shares why he feels hopeful AND heart-broken all at the same time. Genuine hope can only arise from an accurate and realistic assessment of the current situation. And the current situation ain't good. So it's complicated.

The Planet Online Community is buzzing...

We shared some exciting news about the Planet Community in our Shift-Kicking event (more on that event below). This included announcing the “soft-launch” of the Planetary Alliance and introducing our very first Planetary Ally – Active Peace.

Click here to check out posts from Active Peace, including the announcement of their upcoming Active Peace Circle Training.

During the Shift-Kicking event, we also shared the new Spaces and Collections feature that allowed us to introduce different spaces for Campaigns, Circles, Planetary Alliance members and (coming soon) Learning Journeys. We also worked to make it easier for you to get the most out of the Planet Community with the least amount of frustration by adding a series of How-To guides in the Your Community Guide space.

Looking for some inspiration? Check out the latest responses from Planet Community members to our question: Imagine the highest, best possible vision for life on earth. Briefly, what does that look like for you?

Our latest progress...

It was wonderful to interact with all the people who joined us on February 15th as we gave the global cultural transformation a lively boost at our Shift-Kicking zoom event. Click here to view the video recording of the event. That event was just the start of our 14-Day Planet Challenge.

The good news is that if you missed it or found its daily pace a bit too much, it’s not too late! Simply click here (14-Day Planet Challenge) to start from the beginning or pick up where you left off and, in either case, proceed at your own pace. The challenge is a great way to deepen your connection with the Planet Movement, interact with other members and gain a better understanding of the various tools and services the Planet Project offers to help you feel empowered to make a positive difference in the world.

We are approaching 250 resources in our curated databases of Change Agents and Positive Culture. You can help us pass that milestone by suggesting the people, organizations and/or culture expressions that inspire you. We’ve added a guide to make it easier (Adding Your Voice to Planet Community. Just don’t forget to add the #AlignedChangeAgentsAndCulture hashtag to your post.
