At your suggestion, I am now a member! I was looking for other members in California, and there you were! I like what you wrote, but more than that, after having talked with you last week, I know that you live your words - and THAT'S…"

- A sense of solidarity and unity that arises from the recognition that we are one.

Biography
I am a consultant, husband, father and spiritual activist who is dedicated to supporting the "inner revolution" so we can all be the change we seek. For the past 15 years, I've led a variety of educational programs and consulting projects and have coached more than a thousand people in communication, teamwork and productivity. My company, Reality for a Change, offers programs and consulting to help individuals and teams live timeless principles such as oneness, co-creation, accountability and mutual support in the workplace.
In addition to my work with clients, I am also Executive Director of The Stream, a non-profit spiritual community and teaching and learning organization whose fundamental commitment is to support people to live the principle of Oneness everywhere, under all circumstances. I am also Project Leader of the Spiritual Activist Movement, a project of The Stream that is dedicated to uniting our world behind three simple, yet powerful commitments:
1. Acknowledge that we are one.
There is no “they.” Despite our apparent differences, we are all one. The damage I do to another, I do to myself. The compassion I give another, I give to myself. Whether I admire, fear or despise another, I commit to recognizing our Oneness. Whoever you are, “I am that.”
2. Become accountable for our impact, individually and collectively.
We are accountable for the impact of everything we say, do, feel or think. We commit to become more aware of the impact of our actions and attitudes on ourselves and each other and to get the support we need to overcome the personal and collective behaviors that hurt us, those around us and our planet.
3. Build a mutually supportive world by choosing the highest good of all.
Sometimes our instinct is to choose our personal short-term interests over the good of the whole, but we realize that no one thrives in a world dominated by narrow self-interest. We commit to letting our hearts and actions be guided by the question: What is for the highest good of all, including me? And we commit to transcend our fears and instincts and do what we know is best for ourselves, others and our planet.
I look forward to connecting with you and discovering and evolving our world together. It is a very exciting time to be alive.

- Hi Todd
At your suggestion, I am now a member! I was looking for other members in California, and there you were! I like what you wrote, but more than that, after having talked with you last week, I know that you live your words - and THAT'S what changes our world for the new paradigm.
Thank you for all your loving efforts to help the world be a better place for all of us!
With love, Deanne Rocchietti
