I am one of the local organizer for Compassionate Seattle. We are focusing on deepening the work we are doing on the ground in our region and growing the online network and connecting each others cities, towns and villages through the International Institute for Compassionate Cities. I am a co-founder of a B Corp (private enterprise for public benefit) Ideal Network that is collaborative commerce for a values based marketplace.
Please make the Compassionate Action Network your online home for all things reated to compassionate action. We want to serve as a resource hub to support peer to peer connections, small group organizing, and large scale collaborations.
Share with us your gifts. We can use these tools to pool our collective resources and wisdom.
Communities need the will as well as the way. Co-creating a social network reminds you that just a few people can make a real big difference. I look forward to working with you on creating a compassionate future! Please reach out to invite others and continue to contribute to the network.
To learn more here is a paper I co-authored with Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr. on Deep Social Networks and the Digital Fourth Way .

The tragic mass murder this week in Seattle is disturbing on many levels. But the actions of bystanders responding to the still-shocking circumstances shows an important contrast — that good people can step up and make a difference.
HOPE is still alive in the city. Last…

Net Smart is the latest book from Howard Rheingold. As he put's it: "How you use social media matters to you, to me, and to everyone." He identifies five essential literacies: (1) attention, (2) crap detection, (3) participation, (4) collaboration, (5) network smarts.
He draws important connections between the distracting phenomenon of social media and how through meta-cognition…

Compassionate Seattle and the Compassionate Action Network have had a close working relationship with TED, the TED Prize and with Karen Armstrong. In 2008 Karen was awarded the TED Prize, the same year that the Seeds of Compassion with His Holiness the Dalai Lama happened here in Seattle.
In 2010 the Charter for Compassion was our rallying cry to globally implement the golden rule. Seattle started a campaign to affirm the Charter and encouraged other communities around the world do…

Hi Jon, Thanks for your welcome note. Michael Stern
Call me- 206-595-9544...let me know where to start.
Sorry to be missing the luncheon today
Hope it goes well!
I'm sorry I didn't get to speak with you.
The music was fantastic! ;-)
Dear John,
thanks for the reply. I will definitely pen an article about the US trip. I see you are a musician like myself and I am bringing with me my Baritone Ukelele so perhaps we can have a jam? I would love to give a talk to the group but can only be in Seattle from 31st Oct to 4th November 2012 so maybe we can arrange a talk at these times. I am a great believer in International solidarity and my trip is an expression of this. We realize that we only have one planet and need to change our ways by developing compassion so there is a future for our children. Seattle has always excited me as a place, I have got good reports come back to the U.K. and anyway Jimi Hendrix was from your place!
I hope on my visit to really connect with the local community and bring good news from Leamington Spa, where there are really terrific things happening. In our Transition Town status we have been helped by the Town council. Our local Member of Parliament is very keen on community based initiatives , especially social enterprise and even got a bill in Parliament to support these activities in the U.K. The United States has always had a pioneering spirit and the groups in Seattle seem to express that admirably! We are all pioneers for the future! Thanks again.
Best Wishes
Chris
