“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

Countless wisdom elders, including Joanna Macy, Thomas Berry, Julia Hill, Margaret Wheatley, and Deepak Chopra agree that a great way to undertake the challenge of this global shift in consciousness is to meet regularly in circles. It’s an age-old methodology, and it works. Circles are the building blocks to the creation of a larger community of practice.

The illusion of separation is a huge obstacle to sustainable living, so the act of bringing people together is a vital part of the solution. Action Circles provide the lively, community-based support we all need to make new sustainable habits and lifestyle choices that spark significant social change. Action Circles are designed to engage the heart, the head, and the hand, supporting us to use compassion, wisdom, and action in order to affect positive change in the world. Circles can help us:

  • Deepen our understanding of the key issues facing humanity through meaningful dialogue
  • Make sustainable lifestyle choices that align to our values
  • Get results with peer support and accountability
  • Build community for group projects and collective actions

Order An Action Guide!

The Be The Change Action Guide is your map to an exciting journey of personal choices, leading you to an empowered lifestyle and expanded world view that will help sustain your health, your spirit, and the planet. It covers a full range of lifestyle choices and helps us become aware of how every single action we take either supports or undermines our vision for a sustainable, just and fulfilling future for all life.

An essential resource throughout the Action Circle process, the Action Guide is organized into six overarching values:

  1. Increase Health and Well-Being
  2. Reduce Material Consumption
  3. Conserve Energy & Natural Resources
  4. Reconnect to Self, Others, and Earth
  5. Support A Green & Just Society
  6. Green My Community

Each of these six Values have about a dozen clear Intentions, which represent our desire to make a change. And each Intention has a number of very specific Actions to choose from. These Actions define manageable steps to make personal changes that gradually transform our lifestyles.

“The Action Guide is a powerful tool to help us transform our good intentions into real action. It covers a full range of lifestyle choices and helps us become aware of how every single action we take either supports or undermines our vision for a sustainable, just and fulfilling future for all life." 

- Lynne Twist, Co-Founder, The Pachamama Alliance

The Sustainable World Sourcebook and BTC Action Guide complement each other nicely; the Sourcebook gives the bigger picture and background information on the issues while the Action Guide outlines the innumerable little things each of us can do to address the issues. For your convenience, we have created a syllabus that indicates the Action Guide Intentions that correlate to each Sourcebook chapter. Click here to download it!
