New Interview Added: Woody Tasch on Slow Money
We just added ten new clips from our recent interview with author and social entrepreneur Woody Tasch, in which he illustrates the concept of Slow Money. He describes how the current economic crisis evokes fundamental questions about the future of capitalism while providing a unique opportunity to reorganize financial markets in a more sustainable and modern way. By slowing down, he explains, we can enjoy life more, and he challenges us to bring this concept into financial markets.
Check out the clips here.

Former Nun in Ecuador Holds Lessons for Middle East
"Everything in society tells us to distrust others. I think it's the other way around. We need to profoundly trust in those around us, in their potential and in who they are."
Nelsa Libertad Curbelo
in Barrio De Paz
What does a former nun and street gang mediator in Ecuador have in common with the chief rabbi of a Jewish settlement? Both are peacemakers promoting mutual respect and understanding between adversaries, both have inspiring video interviews and films in the online Global Oneness Project library, and both have been recently featured in the international press.
Earlier this month we blogged about Rabbi Menachem Froman's New York Times interview and his belief that the solution to the conflict in the Middle East lies in finding a larger perspective that at once affirms the differences but also the common humanity and interests between Muslims and Westerners. And last week The Christian Science Monitor featured Nelsa Libertad's pioneering efforts to single-handedly wage peace between rival gangs in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Nelsa's success bringing peace and hope to a formerly crime-ridden South American barrio is highlighted in the Global Oneness Project short film, Barrio de Paz (or Barrio de Paz - 9 minute version). Her inspiring work confirms that peacemaking involves listening, and discovering that the opposite of violence isn't non-violence, but empowerment, having a place to stand. From this foundation of respect and understanding, common interests are uncovered and opportunities for growth that benefit both sides can emerge and be built upon. It would seem that Nelsa's experience in the streets of Guayaquil could apply equally well in the streets of Gaza.
When peacemaking successes in such diverse settings as Ecuador and Israel are based on such essentials as listening, respect and finding mutual interests, our common humanity is revealed.
You can find additional links to Nelsa's films and interview clips in her profile in the Global Oneness Project Library.
