Co-Creating a Planetary Shift

Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard Spearheads Vision for a Planetary Shift with Conscious Evolution Movement,
Culminating in Planetary Birth Day Celebration on December 22, 2012

Are you being called to help create a planetary shift?  To become part of the “tipping point” that’s needed to accelerate the birth of an emerging world?  Do you want to share your unique gifts to co-create a new earth?  Evolutionary Leader Barbara Marx Hubbard has partnered with The Shift Network to launch a global initiative— BIRTH 2012     (www.Birth2012.com), culminating in a Planetary Birth Day Celebration on December 22, 2012, which she has coined “Day One.”  This initiative includes training for those who feel a call to be global leaders and catalysts in the movement for a positive future.
 Many fearful theories have propagated around the end date of the current Mayan calendar cycle. Ms Hubbard, by contrast, puts forth a far more hopeful vision, which is to declare this date as the beginning of a new magnificent era for our planet.  During this era, she believes humanity can take its next natural step in its evolution and realize far more of its potential. She sees this as a time for us to collectively set our intentions for a more viable, evolved, sustainable, regenerative world and to create a global network of collaborations that move forward the changes our planet needs. She invites us to take our part in what she says, “May be the most critical evolutionary moment in human history.”    
 Barbara Marx Hubbard, a futurist, social pioneer and evolutionary thinker, has stepped forward as a powerful spokesperson for this Day One initiative and is increasingly seen as the “Mother of the Conscious Evolution Movement.” She is the subject of Neale Donald Walsh’s new book “The Mother of Invention” and Deepak Chopra calls her, “The voice for Conscious Evolution in our times.” Buckminster Fuller has said “There is no doubt in my mind that Barbara Marx Hubbard – who helped introduce the concept of futurism to society – is the best informed human now alive regarding futurism and the foresights it has produced.” She has become the subject of much excitement as more people recognize that she holds key codes to help activate a historic, turning-point event; awakening the social, spiritual, scientific, and technological potential of humanity.
 She has joined forces for this vision with The Shift Network’s founder and CEO Stephen Dinan, who Marx Hubbard sees as her key partner in architecting the larger activation.  “Every group, culture, field and faith will be needed to converge and give their very best gifts to this birthing process in order to wake up together and avoid catastrophic breakdowns,” explains Dinan. He adds, “Our goal is to create the highest level of planetary coherence on Day One, creating the  possibility for a powerful experience of the collective shift.”  Dinan founded The Shift Network to bring together the leading voices for this important time in our human and planetary evolution, and in just over one year has gathered 130,000 participants in the Network.
 Marx Hubbard will be leading a series of advanced trainings in conscious evolution - spiritual, social, and scientific - that build skills and capacities for people to play roles for this planetary birth experience.  The first training will be the ACE-Agent Of Conscious Evolution training. It’s designed to form a global community of evolutionary pioneers to help us all cross the gap from breakdown to breakthrough.  
On June 22nd, Barbara and Stephen will offer the next public teleseminar call chronicling the development of the vision and plans for the planetary Birth Day event, as well as, how people can get personally involved.
 According to Marx Hubbard, “I envision The Planetary Birth Day as a next step and support for Earth Day.  It is a point of convergence for what is emerging.  It will be a continuous process of connecting and communicating what is working toward a sustainable and evolvable world.”
The Shift Network’s Birth 2012 campaign will be introducing a series of events leading up to the 2012 Birth Day Celebration and is calling all likeminded organizations, individuals and groups to participate in the larger event, as well as, to create smaller grassroots caucuses to facilitate local events leading up to the “Shift.”
