– What is zPod:Philanthropy?

zPod:The Singularity

– WTF is the Singularity?

here's how i approach pod creation… i try to create pods that are close to “reality.” but when all things are said and done, we each choose our own battles. 

I'm not new, but, Scoot over on that limb a bit, ~C4, I am chirping in, too:) and as you say, I try to create pods that are close to “reality,” my reality.

 Soul Study; Soul Partner; The Beloved In All Things.

- Soul Study introduction 

 CRAZY WISDOM, QUANTUM LIVING, Creative Forces of Evolution

- Crazy Wisdom Introduction 

Both of which I recently bequeathed to David 

I also started the pods: Elder's Cottage, & then Book Reviews & Writer's Corner, then closed them.

I recently opened  OUR Life Journey of Mirrors, Symbols, & Qualities  _ To wit 

Ha! Life is a journey of Soul & Crazyness, & the Mirrors are all around & within, I cannot get away from that:)! 

thanks.

anybody who is interested in big-pic thinking is welcome to join my pod and come together with other great minds.

life oriented

business oriented

zPod:Big -picture

My pod is all about a community I want to start here in St. Charles, MO.  If it gets established it could totally change this area as far as tolerance goes.  Not to mention all of the community projects we would lead.

You can also see more info about it on my profile (link to my blog).

Cheers,

My pod is about being in Sacred Union with self and relating from there.

Sacred Union: An Inquiry into Relating

Through the practice of Tantra and other sacred traditions, it is possible to have both masculine and feminine aspects marry within the self. Once this happens it has an incredible affect upon notions of relationship, dating, sex, marriage previously accepted as “the way things are.”  In Sacred Union we experience being in union consciousness rather than separation conciousness.  This is a vital new place only understood from the heart, without perhaps words to explain.

I am inspired to see what people invent as new possibilities for relating.

My pod is

This pod is for those who love crafting, painting, drawing, creating art, cooking, making existing things beautiful and making new beautiful things!

The pod for every Charles Bukowski fan. Share poems, talk about their meaning. What kind of scotch is good, his writting style; and all things Bukowski.

ZAADZ ANONYMOUS

Addicted to Zaadz?

Well, that's basically a good thing but in case it IS a problem in any sort of way, there's help right here. This is how I describe the pod;

Not enough Zaadz-time in the day? Feel bad that you're a week behind on your e-mails? Overwhelmed? On a trip without online access? Wish there was a place where you could go if you're wondering why a friend is not responding? Wish you could let everyone know why you are not responding to them and stop feeling bad about it? Want to control (but not kick!!!) the habit?!

Your worries are over!! ZA is here!!
ZA is a pod where all Zaadzsters can go and find out what's up with whom - just check the boards;

Find out who's 'OUT OF THE OFFICE' this week
Here you can post your 'absence' or 'inactivity' by calendar week. Add your reasons if you want to. If you could 'reply' putting your name in alphabetical order in the appropriate week, that would be great! 

YOUR BUDDIES
Having trouble managing Zaadz and your earthy life demands? Want to talk about it? This is the place to discuss your 'addiction' with others Zaadzsters.

CONTROL (DON'T KICK!) THE HABIT
You don't have trouble balancing Zaadz and life's daily demands (anymore)? Please share your golden tips on how to get back into the drivers seat here!

YOUR LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP
'Get real!'  and find your local 'in the flesh' Zaanghas Support Group here. This is (another, but there can never be too many) place where you can find links to local Zaanghas get-togethers. Leave that desk, go see a movie or a band with other Zaadsters, have some great conversation in the park…Sometimes it pays to get off line!!

DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE

If there's anything you feel bad about (no time to respond to all the incoming new invites for example), you can post your 'pod behaviour' here. People who wonder about someone not responding, go here to find out.

There's already some interesting posts about that posted.

Thanks for reading! This NEW POD sprouted July 24th 2006…looking forward to greet new members! 

'OLD' PODS STILL GOING STRONG

NEW YORKERS find eachother in THE NEW YORK CITY POD

DUTCH PEOPLE (from Holland) find eachother in DE HOLLANDSE POT 

Heres my 1st pod

Its about cycling - as a gentler mode of transportation on this Rock in Space, as a recreation option in the hills and mountains across the land, and as an altogether fun thing to do. “It's always a good time to ride”. As Minstrel of Environment, I take personal responsibility for becoming friendlier on Earth. We're only here for a blink - let's share how it feels when we pursue on wheels.

This is a spanking new pod with one member - thank  you, maria . And I'll be darned when I created it -

Thanks for the exposure, Tru! 

Tru,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to introduce pods here.  What a generous invitation you provide. 

I have created a pod called Mind, Body Spirit.

Having an educational background in both psychology and medicine, seven years of experience as a health and wellness coach and writer, and having had personal experience as a patient while coping with serious illness, I have learned a great deal about healing and the power and light that reside within each one of us.  Healing comes from a sense of that power within, from community with others, and from the integration of everything that makes us human … mind, body, and spirit. Regardless of our current health status, we all strive for the balance that nourishes that which is essential to our very existence.

Welcome to a discussion of anything and everything related to  health and balance….mental/emotional, physical, and spiritual!!! :)

Please join my Pod Learning Conversations here on Zaadz at http://pods.zaadz.com/conversation. Here is the introduction to the Pod:

Welcome to learning conversations. My passion is creating learning in communities. All communities, from small to large. I do this through conversation. Conversation is not discussion, debate, or even dialogue, even though it is closest to dialogue. I use the word conversation deliberately.

Con versare: To Dance Together is a paper that I wrote that captures the foundation of my work in conversation. The one quote that captures this more than anything else is:

Conversation is the natural way we humans think together -Wheatley

Conversation is in essence an experiential feeling based exchange. It is not dry or matter of fact, it is as though you are in an intimate exchange with a friend. When you lose your self while talking with someone else you are in conversation. You are in a dance together. Tools I use include World Cafe, circles, and a myriad of other collaborative and cooperative tools and strategies. All of then drive conversation when they are at their best.

Learing is the outcome of conversation and that is why this group is a learning conversation group. I welcome a conversation about this important topic and maybe we all will learn a bit more about how we learn together.

Thanks for the opportunity!

I have been a RN and a Ashtanga yoga practictioner for 6 yrs. I have worked in the world of allopathic medicine, holistic health , policy, and with the elderly.  This experience combined with my personal internal growth has inspired me to take action in health care reform. I want to work from the inside out., and I am seaching for others who share the same passion!!! Please share your thoughts and ideas, lets challenge eachother to come to a higher understanding.

Namaste

http://pods.zaadz.com/integral_health_care 

It is common knowledge that the current US health care system has not lived up to it's expectations. This pod is intended to stimulate discussions and ideas about how to create an integral health care system, how health professionals and consumers can contribute to reform, and to identify the obstacles that will be faced during this transformation.

Possible Topics:

• The aging population
• Nursing shortage
• Physican shortage
• The rising number of the uninsured
• Money,money,money, the driving force…where is it going? How do we get more?
• What would an integral health care system look like?
• Where do we start?
• Policy
• Personal responsibility for health vs the responsibility of society
• Leadership

Thanks Tru! Our new zPod is:

PASSION SMASHIN!

A New zPod is here for conscious entrepreneurs who want to reach more people, do more good and be more successful - If you've been struggling, we have the solutions! 

Is your business your passion?

Have you found your true purpose? Are you following your bliss, living your dream and playing a really Big Game?

YES?  AWESOME!

”Do what you love and the money will follow.”

Right? Or are you still waiting for the clients and money to find you?

That's the Passion Myth! But what they failed to mention was to actually do your passion you have to market, sell, generate referrals and keep the clients you have.  (Ugh! Do words like “market” and “sell” turn you off? Then read on…)

If finding your passion was enough…..well….a lot more people would follow their bliss… 

What good is having a calling, if they're not calling you?

If your passion is being smashed because you can't make traditional marketing and sales work for you, Passion Smashin is for you.

If you love what you do, if your business lights you up, you wish you could attract more clients - but you're confused about marketing and  just hate to sell, then it's time you shifted the way you think about getting clients…

If you're a Conscious Entrepreneur then your business comes out of your brilliance and the way you sell must come out of your brilliance, too.  This is perhaps the biggest mistake that people make; they fail to sell in a way that honors their brilliance and what they are trying to create.

Maybe you're a coach, consultant or service professional. Your work is all about innovation. It represents the cutting edge in your profession, right?

Then you can't sell it using old sales models that were developed decades ago when the face of business was completely different.

The truth is your income and success depend upon your ability to inspire and move people.

• What if you could change the way you do business so that you have more than enough clients forever?
•  Are you willing to do whatever it takes as long as it honors your values and does good for others?
• Or would you rather go on struggling?
• What if you could sell your services without cringing and keep your integrity intact while still enjoying the success you've been dreaming of?

Business has changed. Values have changed. You need a new approach to client attraction. It's not about winners and losers anymore.

Join this zPod and bring your passion. We'll bring the tools to make it reality.

- Zaadsters, Julia Stewart & Mattison Grey

Gosh, I got so passionate, I forgot to add the link for PASSION SMASHIN!

Come on over and visit….julia

Hi ALL!

I tend to be the one running the deeper, darker and more challenging pods in many cases, but also ones with a lot of heart and soul hopefully. the painful work where we dig in and sort through the ups and downs of the deeper and sometimes darker and rougher stuff we have been through. i do it from a place of acceptance for the process, and depending on the pod and subject matter can be a bit more challenging at times, other times more soft and nurturing. hopefully generally i am appropriate and not tougher than necessary.

we got some deep healing and transformation that will hopefully go on in the following pods…

if this is up your alley - join us!

My two pods are Who Killed the Electric Car, and A Prairie Home Companion.

Enjoy! 

My pod is called Skeptical Inquirers & Seekers. A more full description can be found at the pod address, but basically the idea is to explore those areas where the spiritual and the scientific can come together to increase human knowledge, while at the same time keeping an eye out for the provably fraudulent. All are welcome, let's go!

My pod is Midwifery and Birth,

Our Pod is about the Force of One. Like-minded, like-spirited folks co-creating for the benefit of One.
