In this seventh special in the Series Humanity’s Moment of Choice guests center on the challenge of what might bring our planet to a global civilization that actually works for all. Dr. Julie Krull discusses unity and a unitive narrative with Dr. Jude Currivan, Dr. Robert Atkinson, and Teresa Collins-- leading authorities on unity, wholeness, and the evolution of consciousness and members of the unitive narrative synergy circle of the Evolutionary Leaders (an initiative of the Source of Synergy Foundation). They explore Humanity’s Moment of Choice in these transformative times, as it relates to our understanding of ourselves through story and narrative. From cosmology to direct experience, and from new science to universal wisdom, they discuss the unitive nature of reality and how our living Universe is inviting us to co-create as co-evolutionary partners. This invitation covers everything—from the stories we tell to how we organize ourselves as a species on this precious planet. They explore the WHOLE STORY as we leave behind the epoch of separation and step into the dawning unitive age on our beautiful, conscious planet as fellow Gaians. Dr. Kurt Johnson and the Rev. Deborah Moldow host for VoiceAmerica and the Evolutionary Leaders Circle. Join us for this inspiring and informative program!

As humanity, we’re standing at a crossroads. The only institution that’s powerful enough and able to deal with the pace of change is business. And yet is business really conscious of the urgent needs of the global whole today? Regarding critical need for change, how can we transform businesses so they’ll take the lead for the good of all? What can we do as individuals to transform the way we work? Learn from two globally leading change-makers. Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever and author of NetPositive, one of the most visible Conscious Leaders in the world, has successfully turned an organization of over 100,000 people towards purpose and contribution. Entrepreneur, global strategist and founder of the World Business Academy, Rinaldo Brutoco, offers an eye-opening overview of what we’ll be facing during the coming years, and what we can do to address the challenges ahead of us – both as an individuals and as organizations. Hosted by Bend & Stretch founder, Maryama Marong, and Peter Matthies of the Conscious Business Institute, the interviews in this episode with Paul Polman and Rinaldo Brutoco are hand-picked excerpts, with permission from the Conscious Business Institute Master Program, to catalyze this pivotal discussion. Joining the previous 2022 VoiceAmerica Specials by Synergy Circles of the Evolutionary Leaders (a project of the Source of Synergy Foundation), we follow Humanity's Moment of Choice: Choosing Earth, Choosing Peace, Choosing to Serve, and Voices for a Thriving Future with Conscious Leadership Also, enjoy Paul Polman, Rinaldo Brutoco and Peter Matthies' previous appearances on The Convergence in the past Show List -- Conscious Business for a Flourishing World, 12/13/ 2019 and 1/17/2020.

Following Choosing Earth, Choosing Peace, and Voices for a Thriving Future, the Evolutionary Leaders are thrilled to be presenting Choosing to Serve. It features especially Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati (Sadhviji) of the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh, India. Sadhviji is a recent recipient of President Joe Biden's Presidential Citation for Lifetime Achievement and service, and author of the recently acclaimed book FROM HOLLYWOOD TO THE HIMALAYAS: A JOURNEY OF HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION. She dialogues deeply with Convergence and Light on Light Media Host, Karuna, and Denise Scotto, Esq., Chairperson of The International Day of Yoga Committee at the United Nations. The discussion follows from this annual event, celebrated each June, and its emphasis on the ongoing myriad realms of service performed by Yoga communities all around the world. These are featured in an October 2022 special issue of LIGHT ON LIGHT MAGAZINE (issuu.com/lightonlight). Sadhviji's work encompasses a vast area of public service including personal and environmental health, education, sanitation, public hygiene, and the well-being especially of women and children. She emphasizes that it is the unitive consciousness-- that we have emphasized in all these Evolutionary Leaders’ broadcasts-- spirituality, spiritual practice and the balance of Being and Doing, that well-springs a life of service. And it, in turn, ignites real Transformation-- across entire human communities. The discussion deeply relates spirituality and transformative action, on all levels of scale. It connects truly with the message of the Evolutionary Leaders’ book, featured across these broadcasts, OUR MOMENT OF CHOICE: EVOLUTIONARY VISIONS AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. Join us for this profound broadcast, brought to you for The International Day of Non-Violence, October 2, 2022.

There has been nothing more elusive in our human history than peace, although it is the most desired element in human life. Cycles of war and violence seem to repeat with each generation. How can we meet this challenge with vision and hope? It’s time for champions of peace—at personal and collective levels—to share their hearts, and share their visions. In this VoiceAmerica Special -- “HUMANITY’S MOMENT OF CHOICE: CHOOSING PEACE”-- from the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, peace champions from activist, arts and media communities, and the policy-making world, gather to confront this challenging time—with vision, and with hope. They also identify informative and inspiring on-line peace-related programming that will be free to the public through 2022. The Evolutionary Leaders Circle, who are authors of the recent multi award-winning book OUR MOMENT OF CHOICE: EVOLUTIONARY VISIONS AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, share from two of their peace-related initiatives: the Unity & Peace Circle (with leaders from Unity Earth, World Unity Week and the National Peace Academy) and the Unitive Justice and Global Security Circle (with leaders from the Global Security Institute, The International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation, the Whole-World View, and Global Unitive Healing, among others). Guests Jonathan Granoff, Audrey E. Kitagawa, Dot Maver, Ben Bowler, Jon Ramer, Elena Mustakova, Jude Currivan and others, speak about informative and inspiring programs ongoing through 2022 that can help uplift your life and guide the desire we all share for personal and collective peace.

Human beings have a powerful affinity for stories. Stories from the deepest levels of our being and experience—spiritual stories-- have potent effects on how we live our lives. Deepak Chopra (METAHUMAN) and Gregg Braden (THE WISDOM CODES) join William Henry, Sister Jenna, Sister Jayanti, Temple Hayes, Oscar Miro-Quesada, Steven Farmer, Mindahi Bastida Muñoz and J. J. and Desiree Hurtak (authors from the COMMON SENTIENCE book series) In inspiring discussion for this VoiceAmerica Convergence Special. Ariel Patricia of Sacred Stories Publishing and Media and Dr. Kurt Johnson of The Convergence (OUR MOMENT OF CHOICE) host. From their own experience, guests discuss the power of spiritual stories across the mystical arenas of meditation and contemplation, our relationship to nature and the landscape of indigenous shamanism, and the process of personal maturation, awakening and ascension. The emerging science of story speaks to narrative’s exceptional power to shape minds and hearts. We find good stories captivating, even spellbinding, and story narratives move us in ways rational argument can’t. In these turbulent times, sharing our spiritual stories can lead us to lives of goodness, altruism and abiding well-being.

This is the third Special in a series on Global Transformation. It was recorded during the recent international Climate Conference (COP26).
