Symposium from PowerShift09

Power Shift 09- comments from Surveys/P2Ps. 2/27, 3/1/09

Thank you!

Awesome!

I realized my purpose - I need to tell people about this! This is how I've felt my whole life! It's so good, such a relief to be part of this symposium! I loved the writing prompts as well! And the walking experience!

I have never in my life been so inspired. This was positively amazing and fulfilling and I have received or realized or thought about more things in 3 hours than ever before.

I fought back tears every step of the way- some of dispair, but most of joy. I feel connected to everyone in this room. It's time for change.

I thoroughly enjoyed this symposium. I would love to help anyway I can. Awesome experience. Thank you so very much!!

This was incredible. Moving. Powerful. Effective. Hopeful. THANK YOU.

Just a comment - I really liked this! I liked the human interaction and eye contact activity that is so often lost in our society. Great symposium!

It was fantastic!

It was a wonderful session!

Thank you for doing this! Muchas gracias!

I just think that this was an amazing experience and that more people should experience it as well.

It would be interesting to do a project like this in underpriviledged areas in conjunction with "Challenge Day". Maybe I will take on that task.

This was great!

I think that this should be spread all over the world!

Looking in each others eyes gave me a different view of life.

You did not ask if I love you, and the answer is an absolute certainty.

(about the facts and statistics) I was surprised by some things, but it helped me realize what I already know.

Connecting with other people and realizing we are all one, in it together, doing it for each other was really powerful. Thanks!

It's a really beautiful presentation! Thanks!

This was awesome - loved the singing!

Loved the Zen flute.

Really liked emphasis on global spirituality an our material wealth at the expense of a very loose moral and spiritual fabric - liked small group or one-on-one sharing

You showed it all!

I think the statistics helped bring it into light because everyone can relate to numbers.

If I could get the media showings to present to my school.

Eat vegetarian all the time

Thanks.

You all rock. Keep up the gutsy work - you've inspired us all!

Amazing.

Thank you so much. I don't connect spirituality to the world and others enough, but this truly inspired me.

University of Connecticut has so much going on and we would love for you to be involved.

Thank you!!!

This was amazing! I have more hope for the future than ever before.

This was amazing.

It was perfect

I love you. Thank you for helping to spread this beautifully profound message of unity and love. This has changed me in ways I didn't know could be changed.

I am extremely proud of you!

I loved interacting with other participants; this has definitely changed me, and opened me up to so much more! Thank you!

(valuable activities) integration of art / activities/message. Great job working with the whole person, not only their mind.

It was fantastic!

It was one of the best experiences of my life!

It was beautiful.

Thank you!!!

Re-energise Texas Summit!

You're beautiful!

I believe the meditation techniques and writing of goals and fears really helped everyone think and inspire themselves and each other.

Great title!

It was wonderful!

I appreciate your sharing and work that brought this to Powershift

I'm glad that you included the spiritual aspect because this is something environmental conferences usually avoid.

I just wanted to vocalize (or rather write…) that the symposium really opened my eyes and had me thinking about this issue in a different way. Thank you!

(Your Offer) everything I have, and even what I don't yet

I would like to know more specific actions I could take to help the cause.

It's wonderful!!

Loved the interaction we had when everyone got up and walked around, then stopped in front of someone else and connected with them --- Very powerful!!!

Too much spiritual exercise, not enough discussion in group (too rushed)

I really liked the mission of the presentation. The videos and discussions were really good. I do not, however, feel that sustainability brings its own spirituality. Thus, I was [resisted?] by the meditation moments. I think it conflicted with my religion a bit , so I had a hard time with it. I really appreciated the different perspective, but was not personally inspired.

Stories and metaphors were good - more visuals/audio to support

Maybe let people know we'll be doing a lot of meditation /reflection at the beginning so they know what not to expect.

More chances to get to know the people in the room.

Nice and touchy feely, but stories about success and victory over oppression and hear how we are working to solve issues… make the difference between dreamers and do-ers
