Thailand’s Holistic Methods Brought Back Home. ~ Lindsay Friedman
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 6, 2012
There was something magical about holistic care and looking to nature for the answers. I started to look at plants as more of a way of life, and not just something I enjoy because of their impressive beauty.506 views

My Experiences as a Social Entrepreneur in Developing Countries. ~ Tiez Kroezen
by Unreasonable Institute on Feb 3, 2012
People often ask me what made me decide to give up my consulting-career and live the uncertain life of a social entrepreneur. My answer is that it is because I am a stubborn fool. Foolish enough to try things that many people say are impossible: building a business with thousands of illiterate, unorganized farmers in Ghana, or trying to make money with Internet in Africa, which most experts say is impossible. And I am stubborn enough to continue trying, even when things are tough.249 views

A Place for Healing.
by Frances Frischkorn on Jan 16, 2012
Crestone became my haven, a place to which I could escape from my wild life and reconnect with the Divine and reconnect with my Self. I learned more about myself in those 12 weeks at Crestone Healing Arts Center than I did in the 20 years of private-school education and 400+ hours of Yoga Teacher Training combined - and that's no lie.504 views

My Problem With Tim Tebow. ~ Jeff Fulmer
by elephantjournal.com on Jan 10, 2012
For me, the issue is that Tim personifies the segment of Christians who often think of themselves as the apple of God’s eye. They claim a special relationship with their Heavenly Father and believe they have been set apart from everyone else.1,710 views

Do Meaningful Work, Have Passion, Develop Good Relationships & Be Happy; Yes – You can have it all!
by Anna Sheinman on Dec 30, 2011
Ever since I can remember, I have been a dreamer. I was seeking transformation without even knowing it. I used all kinds of improper tools, but somehow I got lucky and I'm still alive! I have always believed in myself and have always thought of myself as one lucky gal who had many options. Even when life beat me and kicked me when I was down, I knew there would be a light at the end of the tunnel...477 views

Hidden Lands in Mexico’s Copper Canyon. ~ Evan Ravitz
by elephantjournal.com on Dec 13, 2011
Just 1100 miles from Boulder in the Sierra Madre of Mexico lies the misnamed "Copper Canyon." It is actually the world's largest maze of canyons, as deep or deeper than the Grand Canyon and totaling some 750 miles, three times longer than the Grand.93 views

“Love Marks” & My Interview with Tami Simon of Sounds True. ~ Tara DeAngelis
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 26, 2011
Do I think we are going through a flowering of human consciousness? I don’t know. The mandate is to actively work on such a great awakening, right now, with every cell of our being, give it everything we’ve got.We can’t wait for governments, individual politicians, Whole Foods, or elephant journal. We can’t wait for anybody! Whether it’s inevitable or the longest shot in the world. Let’s completely offer 100 percent of everything we have to that possibility. I believe that. I believe I would be doing that even if there was no chance.361 views

Boulder event: Gregory Alan Isakov: October 21 at the Fox Theater.
by Ali Schultz on Oct 15, 2011
This week, I am excited to catch Gregory Alan Isakov at the Fox Theater on Friday night (October 21). Of all the artists I've seen, Gregory - whether solo and acoustic or with his band of talented musicians - always creates a performance with emotional depths and soaring poetics that leave me rooted in my humanity while simultaneously feeling as though its been transcended (perhaps, it makes me feel the wholeness of this human experience). Of the many amazing things curating in Boulder's ever evolving scene of new, hip and wonderful artists growing their body of works, Gregory Alan Isakov remains a permanent favorite on my playlists and live shows that I must see. I was one of the lucky ones who saw him perform a benefit barn concert for Lisa Sanchez, a dear friend of Elephant Journal, at Frog Belly Farm earlier this year. It was a special one, and I began to reminisce about the experience to share with ele readers. If you haven't seen Gregory yet, go. You'll thank me later. Here are the sweet memories of the February 13, 2011 benefit show.69 views

Horizon Milk & Silk Soy: 20 Reasons to Ride the White Wave into Dean Foods Green. ~ Tara DeAngelis
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 6, 2011
As a reader of elephant journal, it is likely you have purchased Horizon Organic Milk, or Silk soy milk recently. Who knew they were owned by the same company, White Wave, who is now owned by Dean Foods? I sure didn’t.Even though food companies like Dean Foods are acquiring companies demonstrating Right-Livelihood, like White Wave, it is still disturbing that the industry is moving closer and closer to being monopolized.The loss of integrity in the organic food industry, along with Monsanto's rising is a eminent crisis that will affect our generation very soon.653 views

Why Did I Move to Colorado? ~ Mandi Millar
by elephantjournal.com on Jul 18, 2011
For two years I had been living with my parents in order to save money and I coped with being a 26-year-old-who-lives-with-her-parents by hanging out with a group of friends who, like me at the time, were unmotivated, lazy and disgruntled. My body, mind and soul resorted to a lifestyle of disastrous habits in order to seem alive, which, in retrospect, only created voids rather than filled them. Like a fallen rock at the bottom of a canyon, I was stuck in a rut.580 views
