The world needs to change. As one global tribe.

We are on the brink of an ecological mega-crisis, threatening the future of life on earth, and our actions over the next few years may well determine the destiny of our descendants. Between a manifesto and a tactical plan of action, How Soon is Now? by radical futurist and philosopher Daniel Pinchbeck, outlines a vision for a mass social movement that will address this crisis. Drawing on extensive research, Daniel Pinchbeck presents a compelling argument for the need for change on a global basis. The central thesis is that humanity has unconsciously self-willed ecological catastrophe to bring about a transcendence of our current condition. We are facing an initiatory ordeal on a planetary scale. We can understand that this initiation is necessary for us to evolve from one state of being – our current level of consciousness – to the next. Overcoming outmoded ideologies, we will realize ourselves as one unified being, a planetary super-organism in a symbiotic relationship with the Earth’s ecology and the entire web of life.

daniel-pinchbeck I am the author of Breaking Open the Head (Broadway Books, 2002), 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (Tarcher/Penguin, 2006), and Notes from the Edge Times (Tarcher/Penguin, 2010). My new book, How Soon Is Now, comes out in February 2017. Featuring a preface from Sting and an introduction from Russell Brand, How Soon Is Now? looks at the ecological crisis as a rite of passage or initiation for humanity and proposes a “blueprint for the future” – how we must redesign our technical and social systems to avert the worst consequences of ecological collapse.

According to author John Perkins, “Daniel Pinchbeck’s life is the hero’s journey. Like Homer’s Odyssey, How Soon Is Now is a song of redemption for a world torn apart by the monsters of our own creation. We’ve dreamed a world that is consuming itself into extinction. Pinchbeck offers us a new dream and in doing so takes us on a powerful, magical voyage into balance and sanity.” Please join the HyLo forum to discuss the ideas presented in this book, and take action around them.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from January 17th

eco-solutions-banner

I am a radio host, I am a soul awakener, a people’s redirect celebrator, so why am I hosting a show on ECO Solutions?

We cannot embrace our soul’s purpose or our heart’s desire if we do not embrace this beautiful planet for we are at one with each other. You rely each and every day on this earth to provide for you, you cannot live without our MAMA EARTH.

So hosting a genre on how we can start serving our planet seemed the right step to do. Most of the time we simply do not know what to do or what really is needed from us. So each week I will bring you different experts on what we can do for our planet to sustain it for our future.

I am very involved in “Energime University” where educating through on-line mentorship helps our next generation to understand our earth’s needs and in our own sustainability. Each of the many ordinary extraordinary people I interview are proactively doing something in sustainability and in such innovative ways.

So join me each week on ECO Solutions and see who is making a difference one step at a time, you will be heartened and inspired by what we can do in such simple ways.

ECO 17-002 Daniel the Dolphin and the Ocean Guardians.

January 6, 2017June 30, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guests CARMEN FORSBERG & ADAM MARS, on air from January 10th.

daniel-dolphin

Daniel Dolphin is a 3D-animated adventure film for the whole family inspired by the bestselling novels of Sergio Bambaren. Our goal is to push entertainment to a new level of audience participation and environmental awareness. Daniel Dolphin will share the larger message that we have to protect what we love: our oceans and each other.

Both Adam Mars and Carmen Forsberg (Silverlight Entertainment) are UBC Film Production Alumni and found the IP while travelling in South America.

“We met Peruvian novelist Sergio Bambaren five years ago and as he told us about Daniel Dolphin, the character from his best selling novels, we immediately knew we had found something extraordinary” says Carmen Forsberg, Producer.

The project has since garnered recognition from the National Screen Institute Feature’s First Program, Telefilm Canada, Harold Greenberg Fund and Creative BC.

“Our goal is for Daniel Dolphin to extend its impact well beyond an animated character, to create a new level of entertainment and driving force for social and environmental change” says Adam Mars, Writer-Director.

As ocean conservancy becomes a powerful topic of conversation, their goal is to position Daniel Dolphin as a key character who represents marine conservation, supporting global non-profits achieve their goals in education and sustainability through a give back model – a percentage of the funds from the film and all secondary revenues will be donated to conservation initiatives.

“We have come this far thanks to our supporters and the companies that have believed in us, and what Daniel Dolphin represents. Today we need a global audience to come together and push this timely vision through the finish line” says the Vancouver team.

The team has launched an Indiegogo campaign to help raise awareness and close the final development funds which will enable the Vancouver team to package the film and commence production.

ADAM MARS –

Adam is a multi award-winning Canadian writer/ director. His children’s short films have garnered multiple awards, aired on national television and played in more than thirty festivals worldwide. His first film “Chika’s Bird” (2005) was acclaimed nationally with numerous “best film” and “audience choice” awards. Adam has a degree in film production from the University of British Columbia where he won honours for his cinematography. Adam holds a second film degree from Capilano University. In 2008, through his love of CGI, he pitched and oversaw the build of a state-of-the-art 3D and VFX Animation facility and Faculty in Lima, Peru. The program was created in association with Studio Arts, Los Angeles. Adam currently works in the film industry as main camera operator (IATSE 669) for EPK units.

CARMEN FORSBERG –

With a background in advertising as an assistant director for many high profile commercial productions, Carmen decided to commit her passion to filmmaking and large-scale production. She holds a film production diploma from the University of British Columbia, and Bachelor in Communication Science with honours in Marketing from the University of Lima. Her current interest resides in producing high-concept projects with strong commercial viability across all media platforms. She has worked closely with Dolby Canada’s Image and Research Technology Department in the development of HDR software, organised and managed events for the Vancouver film industry and along with Adam Mars built and currently consults for one of South America’s most complete 3D and VFX programs.

OUR TIME AT UBC

As UBC Film Production Alumni we cannot help but look back upon our time at UBC with some nostalgia. Brock Hall was the Film Production ‘hub’ back then, the old building saw endless hours of editing, countless film productions – some more organized than others – detailed conversations about story, characters, directors .. many late lunches and skipped dinners.. it was the fuel that drove us forward.

While at UBC Adam not only directed the short films mandatory for the production degree, he also managed to secure funds from CityTV (for the second time) and a NFB FAP program grant to direct a much larger short film. For “Blue” he recruited most of his classmates (as any resourceful filmmaker would) and worked closely with locations managers in the University to bring his vision to life – and with the use of CG even turned the ‘bus loop’ into a sky train station. Adam’s films have always been ambitious, but with unstoppable passion people follow his lead.

Carmen had come from a background in advertising (as an assistant director) and for her, film was the perfect medium to let creativity shine. Coming from South America, UBC was a city within a city and the Film Program was family. Carmen not only produced several of her peers’ short films but also UBC’s own POV (Persistence of Vision) Film Festival with fellow producer Cat Mills. For Carmen it was always about the challenge, being outside of a comfort zone, pushing boundaries in stories and finding ways to reach as many people as possible. During her last year at UBC she won Air Canada’s Student Film Festival ‘Destination Inspiration Award ‘ which allowed her short documentary film to play in Air Canada flights worldwide.

ECO17-001 Energime University Mentoring a New Generation.

December 5, 2016April 20, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

ECO-SOLUTIONS with Sara Troy and her guest Bill Sosinsky aired from January 3rd/17.

1002155_522249374512878_1657022463_n

Energime University Launch:

What would happen if we suddenly made specific education and training that supports sustainable economic development and environmental stewardship available to everyone, everywhere? What effect would it have on our ability to re-establish a sustainable balance back to our planet?

Energime University has the single mission of providing the means by which we mentor and empower our global population with the critical skills necessary to carry out this monumental effort. By creating a central education platform that connects the world in a unified and structured approach, we can manage our finite resources and protect our fragile environment. Energime University will prepare our future workforce by establishing a learning annexeworldwidede through a vast inter-connective partnership. This network will be supported by a growing and robust online capability created to foster this global collaborative effort.

14872424_1181776028596492_1791289057_n Right now the Energime University Platform is in its initial development period which has taken the better part of two years and should be fully operation by the fall of 2017. This process will include populating the site with courses offered and taught by our many Education/training partners, the development of our own core platform, and the full implementation of the interconnected support network that composes the Energime Community.

To be clear, Energime University currently offers courses and content on a non-accredited basis. It is our plan to be a fully accredited education/training platform in the next few years once we expand our curriculum sufficiently and acquire an existing College/University through which we will offer those accredited courses. That being said, many of the courses we will and currently offer are the same courses taught at major Universities on an accredited basis. It is our plan to offer this exceptional content at greatly reduced prices(Or free to those who cannot afford)to students and workers globally such that we can spread this knowledge. That empowerment is our core mission, not providing the means by which a student acquires an MBA.
