More To Come…

In the last few weeks I have been really looking at the direction of Way Beyond Green and trying to hone in on who my audience is…who am I speaking to and why.  The book, The Heart of Marketing, has been fantastic at forcing me to ask some of these questions of my self. 

The answers for me always point to the heart of who I am, as a human being.  In sharing the concepts of Way Beyond Green, that means going deep into my indigenous roots, into spiritual understandings based in native ceremonies and of being an indigenous woman.  That’s where it all makes sense to me. 

My relationship with the Earth, and all my relations, has come from a profound relationship that has come primarily out of awareness created in and through native ceremonies.  And yet by cultural protocols, spiritual limitations as well as out of respect for you and those sacred ceremonies, I cannot share with you anything in entirety or without filtering it.  I can’t give you a true, direct relationship with it.  So everything I share with you here is already minimized, shielded, filtered or changed.  Get the problem?  I want to share with you the heart.  Deeply, so that you share in the same opportunity for healing,growth and understanding that I have experienced, and that I feel is so vitally important to us all.

I am looking, searching for the best way to do that.  Realizing this requires a new direction.  It may mean that some of you leave the conversation, I hope that’s not the case, but it is quite possible. If this is goodbye, I wish you the best.  And in all cases, I hope that this means a deepening of our conversation, I hope it means that it becomes even more real and takes on more dimension for us all.

So for now, I am putting Way Beyond Green on hold.  I’ll keep you up to date here when I get clear on all of this. 

I hope that you’ll keep us on your radar and check in from time to time.  You can also find more regular updates through twitter @gbenton789. 

Until then,
