The historic heart of Vancouver is our Downtown Eastside (DTES). One of our oldest neighbourhoods, it is home to many low-income residents. Here people volunteer, contributing countless hours to help improve the community, working for social justice. The residents of the Downtown Eastside struggle with complex challenges including the overdose crisis, escalating crime connected to […]
Where the Gold Is
It’s been quite an entertaining journey through the maze of information about the gold reserves on this planet. Our fascination with this metal and the wealth it represents is phenomenal, as is clearly shown in our languages. ‘Good as gold’ would be a perfect example of this. In this phrase we’re inferring there’s true value […]
Our New Forum: The House That Love Built
I started out my associations with the Golden Age of Gaia blog by joining the community forum at Yahoogroups.com. The name of the blog back then was The 2012 Scenario and the name of the forum was The 2012 Scenario Discussion Group. It’s now called Golden Gaia Discussion Group, but will soon be replaced by […]
Lightworkers are the Newsmakers Now
I was speaking to a new member of the team yesterday, trying to describe how the news was different these days than in the past.

We’ve just had the pleasure of talking with members of a mature lightworker community and perhaps I can illustrate what I mean by discussing one project they engaged in. Pushkara wanted to build a gypsy […]
Second Last Stop: Whidbey
We’re on Whidbey Island tonight, our second last stop from home. There’s a well-developed community of lightworkers here, most with no connection to the blog, doing yeoman’s work in various areas of lightwork. I wish I had a second self or could bilocate, to write up what this community is up to. One project sums […]
Archangel Michael on An Hour with an Angel: Homelessness, Sustainability and Community
Archangel Michael joins us in this post-Lake Tahoe and post-West Coast Express program to discuss the Company of Heaven’s desire that lightworkers come together and begin the work of building community, first among lightworkers themselves and later around the world. In the pre-record, he confirmed that there is a Reval, even though we’ve waited long, […]
