What are we all about?

Welcome to the New Dimensions in Practice Community, hosted by Justine Willis Toms, the co-founder of New Dimensions Media, and Ben Levi, author of the Aliveguide Taking Global Warming Personally. For decades, New Dimensions listeners have urged us to hold a forum on the subjects covered in our worldwide broadcasts. The Aliveworld platform now enables us to host this virtual community. The range of topics will include and be informed by expanding awareness of the interconnectedness of all life, and the infinite possibilities available through creative insight, innovative thinking, cross-cultural traditions, and the human spirit.

Community members are New Dimensions listeners or are currently using the Aliveguides that are available for sale (see Aliveguides We're Using at the bottom of this page). We will be adding more Aliveguides on a wide variety of topics in the near future. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to engage with others as we seek to change ourselves and the world for the better.  Together, with opened hearts and minds, we explore the emerging possibilities for personal and global transformation, and support one another to sustain healthy lifestyles, as we discover our own astounding creative potential and innate genius.

Your Hosts will take an active role in reading and responding to posts and questions, providing a weekly blog, and holding periodic tele-conferences. Check the site regularly for updates! After you join, please visit the General Discussion Forum and introduce yourself to the community. Then have a look around all that is offered here, and add your energy and voice as we move forward and create our future together.
