Let’s transform social media. Instead of a place for conflict and distraction, what if we made it a hub for sharing our stories of environmental action and numinous encounters? #SocialMediaForGood #Stories #CommunityBuilding.

Fritz troughed Cora taught me that all life is an interwoven system. But understanding our place in the system, we see that our individual actions have a ripple effect. What is one small action you can take this week to contribute to the system health? #Systems #Interconnected

Instead of focusing on a dystopia, let’s collectively dream of a restored, rewilded world. The act of dreaming itself generates Hope and optimism. #Rewilding #Restoration #DreamBig.

What if we could become architects of our future, not its victims? That is the core of enchantivision: envisioning the beautiful, purposeful future we want to see and then working to make it real. What does your enchanting future look like? #Enchantivision #Visionary #Future

These moments of awe are not just fleeting feelings. They are powerful anecdotes to the apathy and despair that Wetiko spreads. We must seek them out and cherish them. #SacredEarth #MindfulMoments #SpiritualJourney.

Numinous encounters are moments of awe and wonder that connect us to the sacredness of life. For me, it was watching monarch butterflies migrate. What was yours? #Numinous #Awe#SpiritualEcology.

Individuation, a concept from Jung, is the path to personal wholeness. My dissertation argues that true individuation requires us to heal our relationship with the planet. How can we be whole when our world is breaking?#JungianPsychology#Wholeness#PersonalGrowth

We need a new foundation for human survival. I proposed placing a healthy relationship with the biosphere at the very base of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, before food, water, and shelter. Without a healthy planet, none of our needs can be met. #Maslow’sHierarchy #Biosphere

We can’t conquer these forces with anger and protest alone. We must use a more powerful tool: a renewed sense of purpose. #PurposeDrivenLife #MeaningfulAction#SocialChange

The media often feeds us the archetypes of doom and gloom. Let’s challenge the narrative. What story of environmental hope have you seen recently? #PositiveNews #ClimateActionNow #MediaLiteracy.

Our environmental crisis is not an outside enemy. The forces of the Shadow, Trickster, and Wetiko are active within us all. The work begins with self-awareness. What have you noticed about your own unconscious actions? #SelfAwareness #Psyche #innerwork

The Trickster loves to distract us with “Eco guilt” and shame. We don’t need more guilt; we need a new story. A Story of Hope not despair. #EqualAnxiety #GuiltFree #HopefulFuture.

The most insidious force is Wetiko, an indigenous term for a mind virus of disinformation that consumes life for its own game. It spreads through social media and political discourse, telling us what to believe what’s convenient. Have you encountered this mind virus online?

The shadow. It’s not just a personal thing, it’s our collective repressed fear and greed that leads us to ignore the truth about our impact on the planet. What uncomfortable truth about the world have you been avoiding? #ShadowWork #ClimateDenial.

Think back to a moment in nature that filled you with awe. That feeling of deep connection is an essential part of the solution. Let’s tap into that power. #AllAndWonder #natureishealing #Mindful.

[Dr. James Dalton, PhD, JD, MBA, MESM, MJAS, BA @JimSDalton]

My research explored the idea that we can’t achieve inner wholeness while our outer world is in crisis. Our personal healing is directly linked to the healing of our planet. What small steps are you taking today to heal yourself and the world #InnerWork #OuterChange

I’ve spent years researching the deep, psychological reasons we’re stuck. Over the next month, I’ll share the lessons from my dissertation on why we resist and how we can overcome it. Join me #EnvironmentalJustice #HumanConsciousness #NewNarrative.

What if our greatest challenge, global warming, is also our greatest opportunity? An opportunity for a profound transformation, for ourselves and for the world. #HopefulAction#ClimateSolutions#Transfomation
