Commons Meetings: Formulating essence s for input to NGO Doc and HLPF web sites
Dear Friends, Colleagues and Team Mates,
Our next Commons strategy meeting and Nature Communications Workshop will take place on Saturday, March 7th 2020. Please find details below.
We shall be building on our Feb 8th work on “reaching the hearts an minds of our readers”, as we pick the essences from our two main projects:
- to be placed
- in the main NGO document on the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) web site;
- possibly in the Ministerial Declaration (still uncertain), that will be made on the occasion of the UN's 75th Anniversary;
- to be used by those of us who will attend the HLPF in our name (July 7-17). If you would like to attend and lobby with us (and also the UN NGO Major Group), please let us know.
- To be used in summaries of our work so that all can see at a glance what we offer.

NATURE COMMUNICATIONS WORKSHOP
led by Dr. Maia Kincaid.
All are welcome! No experience needed!
Here is the video in which we looked at how can we approach those we are writing to so as to touch both hearts and minds:
Nature Communication with Maia Kincaid 2-8-20
Many indigenous peoples, pastoralists and people who live close to the land depend for their livelihoods and well being to be able to understand the signs Nature is giving.
There are also many young children who are conscious from an early age of their capacity to communicate with Nature and some remain conscious of this capacity as adults. Princess Irene of the Netherlands wrote a book on communicating with trees.
Dr. Maia Kincaid provides a monthly workshop in communicating with Nature for those of us associated with the UN. She is an international consultant, who helps people around the world communicate with their animal friends She is the founder of the Sedona International School of Animal and Nature Communication .
This monthly workshop is a deeply rewarding experience as we practice becoming conscious of our inborn capacity to communicate with Nature while applying our skills to better understand how best to integrate Nature into the work being done at the UN.
We have our next Nature communication class on March 7th. 2020.
Please note the time changes for our next meeting and all those of the coming season:
7 a.m. - 8 a.m. PDT, 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. ARIZONA Time/8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. India time, 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. EST and 4 pm CET.
