            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>COLLABORATION to COLLABORATION Business is what I see as the only way for this beautiful earth to forward the needs and wants at this time of Covid 19. After seeing people pushing and figuring out how to make a living, how to get food on the table, and how to create a sustainable system within any given home, community, town, or country, Covid-19 gave us a larger way to think. NO ONE WANTS TO GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS.</p><p>c2c.earth is a call out to build a collaboration with other business’ so that we are not competing but creating or what I state, “Igniting a Systems Change for the 21st Century”. We are at the crossroads of people selling people. We are at the cross roads of borders against borders, race against race, religion against religion. I see this as a wash and now is a time to rebuild. Through the organization TORCH: The Organization for Realizing Change in Humanity, we saw an issue. This came out of 2012 Sustainability for the 21st Century thesis. A circle approach to dealing with economics, business, theology, and local communities from a bottom up approach, not a top down approach.</p><p>A group of UC Berkeley students worked on a project that supported the homeless, supported local farmers, and supported undocumented community that live in the Bay area. Through this project the projection of seeing what was possible and how economically it made sense, I found friends globally and on social media that were building social change which I had been working on for thirty-+ years.</p><p>Humanaterra was the first name of TORCH. People of the Earth. It was nice, it was me myself and I. We rebranded TORCH in 2015. It was an idea that I pitched and got clear, a women in the man’s business world really was an area where I thought different, they loved my ideas, but did not take it serious. $140,000 dollar contract was made between two business’ that I thought was collaboration and my lawyer quickly states, he wants your intellectual property for 5+ years and you will not be able to use your own ideas in any of your life….. WHAT??? new learning curve…</p><p>With this learning over the years, TORCH was born, and it was about the spark of four areas that most of us know — as THE ISSUES OF THE EARTH; PEACE, HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, and TECH and how if business focused on these four areas and stop focusing against the “OTHER”, then we may be able to support this beautiful planet we were given to care for and cherish. Then came new ideas of TORCHENOMICS out of ITHACA HOURS idea which my business Kiraku was using and trading in Ithaca NY.</p><p>Bitcoin/Blockchain world came in during this time. Alot of start ups, alot of having dinner, pitching, and more pitching…but TRADE MADE SENSE….$ TRADE ideas… trading hours for product. The world trying to figure out finance away from banks… the same thing that UC BERKELEY STUDENTS and I put together… only a local system..BOTTUM UP, not TOP DOWN BUSINESS. “Bitcoin for Peace” came out of that. A platform to use our new bitcoin, “TORCHENOMICS” trade within our TORCH platform.</p><p>While TORCHENOMICS was a construct in my mind, I did lecture across Pakistan on the idea where low income, developing ideas, and developing countries may be able to support local to global, the mission of TORCH, “#simpleactionsforglobachange” Well friends… after working now with UC BERKELEY and STANFORD models, networks, design thinking, IDEO, and more… c2c.earth was born out of COVID-19. You see, I am a nurse. I am also an entrepreneur, and a theologian. How this happened was life. Sharing life with so many cultures, so many beautiful people.</p><p>c2c.earth metaphor would be SEA TO SEA… we support global platforms. We build TECH platforms that only support PEACE, HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, and TECH. We build to promote SEA TO SEA transactions. c2c.earth is about creating a new model away from hierachy and it is only “ME”that matters. B2B is great but we need a stronger idea that now we support how to survive a world that has changed. It is not about my country better then yours, it is not about my religion is better then yours, it is about structures to support homo-pacem, a peaceful human.</p><p>The c2c.earth movement will be a movement…one that COLLABORATES to COLLOABORATES with each other to make the world a better place. It is a place that my business and yours does not compete but strategizes to collaborate with each other around the four pillars… PEACE, HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, and TECH… so as we create, we support the children and let them know, we are safe, you are safe, and we are not competing. Education around the globe to support the rich ideas of all curriculum to be built and witness and develop passion from a child. Passion for the dream they came here to do. Adults, please have an adult conversation. Do NO Harm.</p><p>We are at the crossroads. We have seen enough war, we have seen enough harm, we have seen enough political chaos…so c2c.earth is a call to action. To build a collaborative world, a structure of business that we want to be part of. A gifted shared economic strategizing that supports all to flourish with the art forms of love. We have seen enough, haven’t we. Sustainability to me is about each of us being able to sustain. I need PEACE in my heart, I need a safe ENVIRONMENT to live and house my children, I need HEALTH so I can follow my dream, and there is no greater time then TECHNOLOGY to bridge the google minds of the world to thrive and build a world we all want to go back to after COVID-19.</p><p>I hope you join us and collaborate on this vision. It was a dream. I sat and cried after being sold to by women friends, men friends, and watched so many say I do not want to go back to the same which the lockdown gave us. May be live PEACE. May we have a Healthy ENIVIRONMENT for our children. May we have HEALTHY ORGANIC Foods without chemicals and radical earth changes. May TECHNOLOGY lead us up and out of COVID-19 in a direction that we all win…COLLABORATION to COLLABORATION business c2c.earth.</p><p>MAY IT BE SO..sharing the wealth within so those without can be safe.</p><p>LETS BUILD a c2c.earth business of BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE to BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE work together for the next 7 generations to live well. Lets want to enjoy getting excited to go to work each day… and be adults for the children to come and let them know, they are safe to.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=33f7089d0d09" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

The Oak trees years ago touched my heart as they were dying off here in CALIFORNIA. The amount of deep development and environmental relationships are building world wide. SDG’s and ECO Communities are understanding one another. Stepping into the BIONEER conference in October and seeing DRAWDOWN writer, Paul Hawkin, a long term macrobiotic friend, I was blessed to be in the circles that I have traveled over the years. When my son came to me about drawdown as a SOLAR ENGINEER and VISIONARY RENEWABLE DREAMER, the moments of time spun through all the years arising to know all five of my children, like myself have lived an ECO INSPIRED LIFE.</p><p>RUDOLOPH STEINER, Founder of Anthroposophy gave me a witness to the deeper Christian values that many of us sought through an educational relationship that touches the soul of the child. Weleda products gave me natural healthy ways that the children had. Cotton cloths, natural dye for Easter Eggs, and deeper values living close to the earth. The Earth was living and vibrant. THe spirit aligned with the deep witness of a beloved community. Like Martin Luther King, the longing for living within a beloved community was key. Teaching, homeschooling, puppets, and natural child raising. The environment and the first green home in 1987 was filled with a living presence, not plastic toys, a seasonal table in the home, and a place for poetry and candles at every meal. Spiritual Practices gave me an adopted place within my self to return to the place of grace.</p><p>The meal was introduced by MICHIO and AVELINE KUSHI, the founders of the natural foods movement here in AMERICA gave me the entrance to a global community that touched me with building community dinners, teaching, and developing organic products. Training Kripalu Yoga Center cooks with natural cooking styles given to me by Aveline, and many other teachers that touched my early mothering years, the house was always full. The Beloved Community became based around the table. Chanting and Buddhism came in strong after a rich relationship to sound and vibrational healing. The spiritual teachings by Michio rang true as I had seen the unseen world and had touched the rhythmic seasons with Steiner, but deepening the process of how my body became alive with food that was living, truely opened me to a blessed space.</p><p>The deep witness of touching the spirit gave way to bridging the world of environment and health. The rich playgound of ECO INSPIRED LIVING comes from a LIVED experience that was touched by my family. Opening now to SHARED LIVING, the RICH PLATFORM of working in developed countries, teaching, and education, now continued through the rich platform. The quality of life we each are living by is so key and for me, community and the trust within our own movements now must connect. The ECO INSPIRED LIVING space is about bridging together business to business. Working in a disruptive relationship with a strong drawdown moments of transparency is about not living from a patriarchal spacial business model, but a model of the rich circle of life, the deep rich conciousness of holding on together as the EARTH SHAKES AROUND US. Join us in ECO ENSPIRED LIVING and share what you want to share on our new site. This is about DRAWDOWN and DRAWING UP to TRUSTING the collective and knowing WE’VE GOT THIS!! LETS SHARE THE SPACE…. and live the TRUE GIFT of how we have been born, eating, breathing, and embracing a shared space. Look forward to seeing you.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=88d84d365d1f" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TORCH: a new model of SHARED LEADERSHIP for ENTREPRENEURS</p><p>Innovation for social and public issues are facing us all. Mental Health is on the rise in this country. 35% of our economic output is going toward mental heatlh. The deep issues that face our communities are not reasonable without them being shared. This is larger then cancer, heart disease or other degenerative or chronic illness.</p><p>Emotionally, physically, spiritually, we are foundationally weak. The family systems are breaking, the financial systems are broken or at risk of laying off, and the political arena world wide is facing crisis every day in a downward spiral of intersections that must be discussed in the adult brain. Lets have the adult conversation.</p><p>The TORCH: The Organization for Realizing Change in Humanity has been looking at the shared leadership for entrepreneurs. We gather, we entertain opportunities to lead together, share social platforms, and develop integrated ideas so that the entrepreneur is not left hanging out to dry, with no where to go. We build a table talk platform of WITNESS.</p><p>Workforce delivery in business also needs to look at a shared leadership. While TORCH has been implementing our platform for ENTREPRENEURS, our team is nourished, uplifted by one another, not entertaining hierarchical feelings of being small. In your business, let us share the deep play needed to help your players dance with deep witness to each other. Yes, DEEP WITNESS of finding the spark in each human being. We call it TAG your IT.</p><p>An intergrated life able to sustain. Sustainability is about a person, a human being, to be able to sustain, not the other way around. With strong leadership for you or your business, we tag the intimate issues, we open the door for development together, not alone, and know, truly know, we do not have to do this life alone.</p><p>The catalyst of change is about bridging the independent fear with the group conciousness so an individual can have a supportive team around them. The significant benefits for low wage earners to learn from higher wage earners arises deep seated issues within any individual. Disparity for most organizations. The deep witness of your business coming up to help its employees to live an abundant life can be about shared leadership in all different areas.</p><p>Financial worry is at the top of most in our societies. Where will the next meal come from? where will we get enough money to pay this bill? and on and on in our mind, our family, the spiral moves inward and causes mental stress. Providing a social responsible business or being a socially responsible entrepreneur, takes others. We are what WE need.</p><p>How to get there?</p><p>TORCHPLAY</p><p>If you can help another look at the personal relationships that surround them in all areas, PEACE, HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, TECHNOLOGY, you can create a bonding that opens the door, not shuts it within the human mind. We are all embracing past trauma, worldly trauma, financial trauma, etc. We are finding that the benefit to helping others in these four areas can change a person’s life. Join us for the next event: THE TORCH FAMILY. www.thetorchfamily.com</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=d148ac69e1df" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

When organizing your vision, your deep relationship to business versus the current landscape in politics for me has been about personal experience. Practical experience on how you are guided comes through a strong vision, but vision has come through personal life experience.</figcaption></figure><p>PERSONAL GAIN vs GLOBAL GAIN</p><p>When we seed our new venture, the world starts throwing at you idea after idea. Staying sturdy in the current entrepreneur landscape has to come from a person to person experience and real work experience in entrepreneurship skills are always growing as our landscape always moves and changes.</p><p>Organizing your own idea in the multiple arena’s of technology, business models, scripts, blueprints, and more…. can throw you off course. At times you can be powerless over people, places and things as you move through relationships after relationships in business.</p><p>I remember training Kripalu Yoga Center in Natural Cuisine in 1993. The largest vegetarian kitchen, and I was hired to train the chefs. Some of the chefs came from NY CITY, Natural Gourmet Institute, and other well known cooks were in my class.This took me by surprise as my classes were self inspired, my intuition was my largest relationship to recipe building, and when it came to following a recipe, forget it!</p><p>The cooking classes were held at my home. I did a series of classes and we cooked, ate together, and discussed food. I asked one of the founder of the natural foods movement, Gail Jack, to cook with me.</p><p>IT WAS A SPLASH…..and out of it, it landed me into the first job as a chef.</p><p>As I went out to the world for the first time as a mom, I remember the feelings that flooded my small mind, questioned my own ideas and values, and realized, my life experience training large, and extremely large kitchens, over 700 meals each meal…. and then my boss came to me and asked, what is your recipe….</p><p>WHAT…. recipe, he wanted a recipe….. this is what it is kind of like when you start of a business that you have never done before…. what I told him is I will tell him after the meal was made…..</p><p>It took a while for him to trust that I was an intuitive chef. 40lbs of cauliflower, 25 lbs of cucumber… etc started showing up in the kitchen. I began to flow and the team flowed too…. I think a start up needs to have flexibility and movement… it needs to take risks and needs to accumulate information form your gained experience from the past, but also the moment you are in over your head…. ask for help!</p><p>Now remember, 700 + people each meal and it had a time frame, 8am, breakfast, 12 lunch, 6pm dinner… really….trust… yes in that moment when you doubt yourself, you must bring forward your creative and valuable past and bring it into the moment. OMG… these people have been in professional schools… could I really trust myself. STAY ON COURSE!</p><p>Well, each meal was a hit and the recipe was written after the intuitive juices were open and the creativity in the extreme pressures as you wade through what needs to get done.</p><p>I have had business ideas stolen so many times, business contracts about stealing my intellectual property, and through all my weaker moments, they really taught me to use the essential tools… my experience, my past seeds that could plant the next adventure.</p><p>I had planted experience in the subconscious.. both success and failure. Worrying about the outcome has proven to be a loss, it was in the moment that each success encountered that gave me the courage to keep on going! YES, you have all heard that it is in journey…</p><p>REMEMBER a seed breaks through the earth….and shines up towards the sun… the winds come, the storms come and at times, you feel like you are thrown… over by the force of nature around you. What many people really start moving through is that it is them that is the success… and yes, this fuels the EGO.</p><p>I look at the inspirational moments as moments of energy were able to shift me. The 21st century is really about change. We count on change. Your taproot of experiential experience, remember it is like no-one else. At times people want to claim it for themselves… and being kind is about service to humanity, not self, but selflessness as it all came from your gifts that have been given along the way.</p><p>LAUNCH…. and communicate… but remember its the invitation to learn… being an entrepreneur is about being open to the outcome… and at times…. its all about letting go…..</p><p>NEW, Stages of business growth, understanding the landscape, and keeping the relationships in tact along the way is not always easy. You will think your clever and it really turns out quirky. You may open to excitement and it turns to being a puddle of remorse and tears.</p><p>Experience has been given freely. Give yourself flexibility to be wrong, have no idea how to get the results, but let it open to you. Opening to life experience takes courage. Lift others…as they will life you.</p><p>Its a gift to venture out and put your own dream out to the world, but what I mostly learned is the idea never really was my own, someone may have the same idea. It will not be the same as you as your life experiences are different, and that having the invitation to serve, rather then gain from others is how I keep my heart open to the next planting.…</p><p>Seeds multiply if you till the soil, nurture the earth within, and water the ideas, but remember, you become stronger as you go through the storms.. and your seed into the next flower and you nurture your ideas, and remember they are not your own, but your life experiences that bloom. Have fun…enjoy, and carve out the greatness that you are and each nook and cranny, remember, it is in that moment that opens to the journey.</p><p>mama lynn</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=4941bb5a79f1" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

As I looked into global transactions and visa applications for our team, I realized how challenging we are implementing chaos and stress, instead of ease and comfort. As an RN and a macrobiotic councilor for years, stress and chronic disease continue to plague where we are heading as a socieity.</p><p>Meeting Michio Kushi in my late twenties catapulted me into a new paradigm of change after reading his book <em>One Peaceful World</em>. Monocultures of change and transmutation happening through “artificial chemicals and fertilizers, and mechanical harvesting methods” are changing our landscape as new strains and conditions of contemporary modernization are changing.(p 59). Epidemics, war, destruction of the earth are growing.</p><p>Recently, I went to a conference on Opiad Addiction in our country. UCSF physicians and doctors gave the 2017 statistics and we have surpassed the death by automobiles now to OPIAD deaths. An addicted society? When we ask ourselves about this change in development in the modern world, we must ask the “WHY?”</p><p>When the drug world is mixed with addictive patterning and education is not even touching it, I have to believe that we are at a loss of how far we are moving through this complexity and continued extremes of the modern day world. Faster, quicker fix, hurried desires may be a few, but I return over and over to the unifying principle and how simple Michio Kushi gave for the ills we share.</p><p>The TORCH family has been working on health and environmental issues in developing countries. We are creating localized systems that make it easier to counter the issues we share today in the current health care systems.</p><p>The Opiad addiction, deaths, placebo drugs and counterfits, and the conundrum of issues are deepened by the Silicon Valley rush of being in the fast pace world. As we develop out new systems of blockchain, and hearing that the parties are filled with drugs, modernity must share in the next wave.</p><p>TORCHANOMICS is moving towards a block chain development that can sustain a new form of understanding streams that lead to positive develpment, positive outlooks, and learning how we can prescribe a new world. Technology, is a circle, it started with a wheel. A Blockchain for PEACE.</p><p>We are moving towards a spiralic out of control system at the current gaze. As we look at helping each other, The Torch Family is proposing we witness a greater good towards new systems of change and create new ideas of understanding the why? AI can lead to positive restoration of the land, of the people, of the shared economy that sings positive motifs. We can explore the music of life that was clearly ordered for us to see and weave a new system of change if we choose to.</p><p>I will return to the great question Michio Kushi always told us to ask, “WHY?”</p><p>As we ask Why is there war? Why is there Opiad addiction? Why are there exercising distinction at a high rate?

I open to the possibility that Brown Rice grows upright as her husband Michio Kushi taught me. I open to the idea that we as human beings have an understanding of where we are going if we have a good compass.</p><p>The deep nature of how we open to these ideas is what I question today as I discover places within myself that help or destroy cellular change, which in exchange, changes my thinking.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*nwiADLfD0MNchDRdDOJePg.png" /></figure><p>Being with Micho and Aveline Kushi in my late twenties was about being in a land that I understood as truth at that time. As I look back I continue to return to this place time and time again. When I put food in, food comes out through my thinking, my body, and my understanding.</p><p>Cellular changes happen by our blood quality. As a nurse, I continued to see what people ate, they bacame. I have watched my personal thoughts and as I put chaotic foods in, chaotic thoughts come out.</p><p>Brown Rice, green, beautiful, upright, has gone through the seasons so has become strong through wind, rain, storms, and there, it stays study. I wonder and ponder the gifts of this bounty we have been given. I wonder and ponder the multiple implications that this undermines within Theology, Healthcare, and Psychology. I am grateful for this food for thought. Today, I ponder peace. This plant as it waves its leaves in the golden sun, gives me a deep moment of gratitude and I return to simple thoughts, and return again and again, to brown rice…and give thanks again and again….. being grateful that one grain of rice, turns into 10,000 grains of rice. I hope to feed the children!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=4de4bb441586" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
