“So Sportability is 21 this year! Twenty-one years of organising sport and challenging pursuits for people with paralysis. We couldn’t let that anniversary go by without some recognition. Added to that I’ve now turned 70 and that also needs marking.” – DH

Dear Friends,

As you may know, our colleague, David Heard, is also the chief executive of the British Charity, Sportability, and he is once again putting his best foot forward to help raise funds for the charity.

A few years ago he rode the length of Vietnam to get the seed-corn funding to start Sportability’s regional development programme.

That has been a huge success and Sportability are now featuring eight regions around the UK. This means more events such as quadbiking, archery, falconry, micro-light flying, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, sailing, gliding, canoeing and many more, for people with paralysis.

However, he has now set his sights on opening two more regions in 2011, as part of the Charity’s 21st anniversary – Sportability was formed in August 1989. He is tackling the equivalent of three marathons over five days, in some of the toughest terrain in the country, taking a bite out of the Pennine Way.

His goal is to raise £2,000 which will provide the start-up funding for two new regions.

“So Sportability is 21 this year! Twenty-one years of organising sport and challenging pursuits for people with paralysis. We couldn’t let that anniversary go by without some recognition. Added to that I’ve now turned 70 and that also needs marking.

“This time I’m yomping a section of the Pennine Way. The equivalent of three marathons, or over 250,000 steps, in 5 days covering some of the toughest terrain in Britain. I’m trying to raise cash for people with paralysis.” – David Heard

If you would like to help change a life paralysed by paralysis or corralled by a wheelchair then please help David support the Sport by visiting his Just Giving page.

Every penny will go to providing sporting events and activities for those people!

• David’s Pennine Way Challenge

If you’d like more information then please contact Valerie in the Sportability Head Office on 0208 959 0089 or email: info@sportability.org.uk.

“I am a great believer in the importance of the inner journey. At the same time, one of my favourite sayings comes from the prophet Mohammed, who said “Trust in Allah, but first tether thy camel”. And from oriental traditions of enlightenment comes another such saying, “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” Hence these commentaries on the state of the UK and the world. Once we might have said “no man is an island”. No island is an island any more either…” – Jon Freeman

Announcing a New Blog with Jon Freeman

Dear Friends,

We’re very pleased to be able to welcome Jon Freeman as a blogger/presenter at Whole Life Whole World.com and also to be working with him as a colleague in the collective effort for a more sustainable and integrated world and UK society. If you ever wanted to understand more about what is going on, this is a great opportunity.

Jon is a well-known and highly regarded exponenet of the Spiral Dynamics model as developed by Dr Don Beck. He also has a Masters in Human Sciences, is the author of the book, ‘God’s Ecology’, a response to Richard Dawkins’ premise, and is a Director of The UK Centre for Human Emergence.

You can click here for Jon’s blog website;

• Change Dynamics with Jon Freeman

Jon will be blogging and podcasting with us periodically on the subjects of change and Spiral Dynamics, particularly as they apply to the UK, but also around the world.

His work on Change Dynamics also includes understanding of the personal development of the individual, so you may enjoy plenty of interest and benefit in his work there, too.

As well as listing his first blog, Jon and I have also recorded and uploaded some audio interviews to the website to explain and introduce the concepts of Spiral Dynamics, and then also to define the eight “colour” stages of Spiral Dynamics which provide such invaluable information and insight for addressing social and global issues such as The Middle East, the economy, the political arena, the environment and social tensions.

Please join me in wishing Jon a very warm welcome to our online community.

What an Integral Consciousness Can Do for The UK…

Dear Friends,

As the above quote begins to give us a glimpse of, the benefits and positives of more and more people taking more and more perspectives on more and more different things are vast and profound.

As well as being a catalyst for an integral worldview or perspective, and reduce or even stop the likes of famine and war, integral theory can also be hugely effective when applied to such things as health, business, education, life coaching, life practice, social issues, and on.

For a few months now, Gary and I have been looking at the possibility of creating a more co-ordinated UK Integral collective to help accelerate the presence and positive contribution of such things in the UK.

We have spoken via Skype/landline conference call with four people from the Edinburgh Integral group who are also keen to help move things forward, and now we are at the starting point in our early, preliminary discussions whereby we are opening a circle to invite and include any inclined individuals or groups in the UK who feel they wish to be involved and play a part in helping to define how we will do this, and then doing it.

This may include you.

Of the 500 or so people whom we email through this newsletter we don’t know everyone personally and so if you are involved in integral, or would like to be, and feel you wish to be involved in this and help us make a difference, then please do let us know, flag yourself, so to speak, and reply to this email just to let us know you’re interested in being involved in some way – and from integral expert to simply being someone who cares, there may be many different ways in which you can be involved! …

I’ve also recently garnered John’s thoughts on the effort, and the personal journey aspect of it in particular;

• Thoughts on the Integral UK Effort

Also, if you wish to watch in full the video which the quote at the top of the page comes from, see this link below. It’s certainly an inspiring and compelling message;

• Watch the Video in Full

Again, if you think you have a role to play in this movement to bring greater integral consciousness and expertise to the UK, or would like to, or simply wish to know more, please simply reply to this email and let us know and we’ll go from there.

Video Tips on Burning Fat from a Record Holder

Dear Friends,

A link to a great piece of video resource has turned up free on my ‘e-doormat’, and it’s actually something I was hoping – and have been hoping to see or get to hear about since I first heard it mentioned nearly ten years ago.

It’s a philosophy of getting or teaching your body to burn fat, as explained by marathon running record-holder, Stu Mittleman, and has been posted for free on the Tony Robbins site.

Mittleman holds the world record for running 1,000 miles in 11 days, and, in his late forties, ran 3,000 miles over two months to run across America – at two marathons a day for 56 days.

But moreover, this is not about records and competition. This is about maximizing your own health and vitality, getting your body to function at an optimal level, and, along with that, gaining greater levels of consciousness, focus, concentration and awareness.

“Once you understand some of the key distinctions about what it takes to maximize your energy and endurance, this is not a matter of setting records, it’s a matter of maximizing your health, and getting the systems of your body to function at an optimal level.” – Stu Mittleman

I don’t know how long it will be up there, we’ve no way of knowing that, in fact, so if you are even slightly interested in this I’d recommend following the link from my page/article on it below as quickly as you can.

• Stu Mittleman’s Training Your Body To Burn Fat and Maximize Endurance

This is a real gem.

“Yes, I know the title says ‘versus’, but it’s not really like that. I’m looking forward to the dialogue I’m going to have with my good friend Terry Patten, since this subject is one of those ones which keeps popping up. For a long time I’ve wanted to have this discussion, since I feel it could be so fruitful.” – Chris Parish, EnlightenNext

Evolutionary vs Integral

Dear Friends,

Our partners at EnlightenNext London are hosting a live discussion event this Sunday evening, with online audio also available, on the subject of considering together Evolutionary Enlightenment and Integral Theory.

• http://wholelifewholeworld.com/

Integral theory exponent, Terry Patten, will be in dialogue with EnlightenNext London’s Managing Director, Chris Parish, in order to pull apart a topic which many people feel, and have felt for a while, can be a very useful one in helping to more clearly define the way forward for and through the challeneges of life, both individually and globally.

“These days you keep hearing the words ‘evolutionary’ or ‘integral’ since these are two powerful emerging world views and spiritual paths. And the two are not identical although they definitely have a tremendous amount in common. Any approach to life which is integral would have to be evolutionary and, conversely, a truly evolutionary worldview would have to be integral.” – Chris Parish

As we’re fully committed to both, we’re understandably excited to see how this conversation pans out, and both Gary and I have already blogged on the event;

• Evolutionary V’s Integral (Sunday 30th May 2010) by Gary Hawke
• Evolutionary vs Integral This Sunday Evening (May 2010) by James Blacker

Whole Life Whole World was developed to combine a promotion of both these approaches, which is why it is called an ‘Integral Wisdom Movement’.

Integral Theory is about developing philosophies and maps of life and reality that “make sense of everything” and provide a “place for everything”. Evolutionary Enlightenment, as pioneered by EnlightenNext Founder, Andrew Cohen, is about the evolution of consciousness beyond ego – a proactive and passionate drive to actually create and achieve these deeper potentials of human consciousness, individually and collectively.

To give you an idea of both of these practices, I have embedded an introductory video for each, which you can see here, below.
