Join YES! for the 2nd Annual SIT FOR CHANGE, September 19, 2009
In this fast-paced world, activists and changemakers often seek to be out of reaction mode, and to move from a deeper, more grounded place. YES! helps to make that happen for thousands of young leaders and now we have the opportunity for a community-wide experience. We invite you to join in creating a brighter future through internal, interpersonal and systemic transformation, by being part of our Do-It-Yourself "Sit For Change". It's a day for you to practice self-awareness (designed around 108 minutes) while supporting the work of YES! and our program partner, Center for Transformative Change, CXC.
All proceeds raised by YES! will be divided with CXC which shares our commitment to personal growth, meaningful collaboration, and making a difference. The DIY "Sit for Change" is a beautiful manifestation of these commitments we hold. We hope you will register today; whether it be a party of one or in concert with more folks, you get to choose. Whatever shape or form, sitting, yoga or walking meditation or other contemplative activity, get your friends and family to (participate and/or) sponsor your experience!

Summer Meetings: An Organization Development Update
My head is still spinning from a few weeks of meeting! The wonderful rush of our loving partners of the Global Collaborative gracing our Santa Cruz home. The sweet and productive 4 day program committee meeting fulfilling the promise of the Community Summit of 2007, bringing together the stakeholders in setting YES!’s programmatic priorities. A full day board meeting with 2 newly energized members adding new threads to the rich tapestry of our collaboration. Framing, energizing, bringing love and spirit into the conversation and holding space and awareness to allow everyone in, including myself, has left me fulfilled, exhausted and ready to immerse myself in our next chapter.
