I recently watched Thrive: What On Earth Will It Take? and found it very interesting and thought provoking (although in parts it was a bit fear-based--exploring the possible conspiracy by the financial elites to control the world). There's a LOT of cool stuff in this thing. Check it out! This link is for the entire 2 hour film on YouTube (I hope it stays up for a while).
This film has everything from zero point (free) energy, UFOs and crop circles to how the financial system is rigged, the corruption of the educational system and lots of ways we can work to build a better future.
I managed to avoid the massive commercial tourist overlay and had three all day hikes. This picture is from my first day out at Cathedral Rocks.
There are so many hiking trails and wonderful spots to visit there. You could literally spend weeks and not do half of them. Another thing that really struck me was the scale of the mountains. They seem so small compared to other magical places I've visited.You see something like Cathedral Rocks from a distance and (at least in my head) it seems so majestic that it must be massive, right? Like the Swiss Alps or something. But no, you can hike right up there in about 45 minutes.
I was in Arizona teaching EFT workshops on two different weekends down in Phoenix. Sedona was my break in between. I've got lots of yummy photos over on my Flickr site.
