Two great posts,

A Guide to Free Therapy,

and

A Guide to Choosing A Counselor.

At some point, those who wish to deal with living an integral life, will be in need of a mirror - whether talking to a life coach, or talking to a Buddhist teacher who utilizes psychotherapy, or simply to deal with grief, and the death of friends or loved ones.

At any rate, both post are well worth reading - go take a look.

I've been participating in various places online, and inevitably, questions come up about therapy, and also questions come up about money. I thought it would be worthwhile to post a little on places to start a search for therapy, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and that also has some consciousness.   more »

Came across this post at World Changing.  A "To-Do" list for a sustainable civilization.

Along with this, I thought I would post a couple of links to eco-careers.  As, hopefully, society is able to engineer a soft transition rather than a hard transition away from fossil fuels, there will be a huge need for competent people in these fields.  You may as well be saving the planet, as part of your career, while at the same time you save your soul.

Ecoemploy

A little bit of friendly advice to anyone pursuing an environmental career - while absolutely and completely necessary,  it seems the deeper you go into the field, the more research reveals dire and bleak scenarios.  Too often, my "earth first" friends lack any sense of humor, and carry the weight of the world on their shoulders literally.  (Going to an eco-party is somehow reminiscent of going to a Miss Manners party, for some strange reason - maybe someone else can clue me in on why this is...)

At any rate, politically, the first step is a pragmatic, politically and technologically savvy, and economically sound way of weaning the world away from oil.  This requires as much political, marketing and communication skill, as it does technical skill.
