Greetings, dear readers of this blog! My name is Susan Shann, and I will be submitting information on environmental issues, perspectives, news and events. To that end, I also welcome your feedback, and any information of relevance you care to share with me, so that I might be more effective in communicating through this forum.
I know a great many of you are already WAY into the importance of our individual and collective efforts to shift consciousness and habits regarding our relationship to this rich and abundant planet, and adopt meaningful legislative reform on these and other issues. I have no doubt you can teach me a thing or two in this dialogue. We are all students of each other, and colleagues in shaping a new and evolving vision for a sustainable future here in Tennessee, and throughout the country. I believe wholeheartedly in the principle of “think globally, act locally”, so my main focus will be on Tennessee, and more specifically on what’s happening in and around the Nashville area.
I’m thrilled to be attending the “Summit for a Sustainable Tennessee” at Lipscomb University this coming Thurs., Fri. and Sat., November 15th-17th, and hope to have great, positive info. to share with you about that. It’s exciting to see the change happening all around us.
As Jeff Barrie, Nashville filmmaker and creator of the powerful documentary, “Kilowatt Ours”, said recently; his goal is to make Tennessee a LEADER in the environmental movement. I couldn’t agree more!! The time is now, and there is work to be done. Let’s get started!
Yesterday (Sat.), a “Health and Wellness fair” took place at Nashville Center for Spiritual Living on Charlotte Pike. There were a vast array of health products and professions represented there; Reiki and healing touch experts, a bio-feedback clinician, hypnotherapist, yoga master, aquatic exercise instructor, nutritionist, and so on. What a wonderfully informative day! I was honored to be invited to speak about environmental reform, and about NEW VISION, a group I founded earlier this year with my husband, Gary, which meets the third Monday of each month at our home in West Nashville. I hope to share some of that talk with you in my next submission, and cover more great events like this happening locally.
Until then, thanks for reading! Keep looking forward…
- Susan Shann
