One of the expressions of Sufficiency is living by the principals of sustainability. Most simply, this is using no more than you need of energy, food, water, and things in general, and producing no or very little waste. There are many ways to join the sustainability movement and practice this form of sufficiency.

Upcoming Events
Feathered Pipe Ranch, Montana
Join us for five powerful days to reveal and revel in a movement now afoot to restore, renew and rewire how humanity walks this earth, stewards the land, how we care for one another, and all of life itself. We will share practices for transforming our internal and cultural assumptions of fear and scarcity into joy and generosity.
Somatic Practice Group, DC
Somatic Practice Group for coaches, consultants and other practitioners who work with human beings to bring about abiding transformation for them and ourselves. Lead by Somatic Master Coach Jen Cohen in an experiential learning environment, you will develop and expand your ability to work with clients through the body.
Speaking Truth: Building Trust
Jen Cohen and Gina LaRoche will be at the InterDependence Project in NYC on Wednesday evening, May 3oth.
The truth really does set us free. When we speak it mindfully and with compassion for ourselves and others it builds lasting trust between people. We call speaking truth a practice of sufficiency, and this practice is deeply connected to the teachings of right speech and right action. All are invited to join and see how you can create a living and working environment alive with the truth of the moment, grounded in sufficiency.
Hear It Now
Taking the Scare Out of Scarcity. We engaged in a deep process of unwinding scarcity and allowing sufficiency to emerge. The call was very process orientated and many insights were revealed.

I noticed this once on a long meditation retreat and I notice it again so clearly during this time in my life. In each moment sufficiency is present. In each moment I am clear or calm or content or simply ok. Each moment is completely endurable, maybe even pleasant, or blissful. Yet when you askRead the Rest…
Cancer journals #3: endurance
November 20th, 2009 - No Comments
I’ve noticed several more fascinating things about entitlement I want to share. 1. It keeps me focused on and addicted to what I don’t have. 2. I observe that I am not so hot at receiving, taking in, drinking up, resting in what I do create for myself. 3. My entitlement is righteous and hungryRead the Rest…

Three recent experiences helped me start to think about A Sufficient Future: One – It occurred to me as I was doing yoga this week and making a transition from one pose to another and then my wanting a block and moving towards the block and coming back to my mat, that not only wasRead the Rest…
Cancer journals #2: bargaining for false safety

I made a deal with the devil and I did not even know it, not until my husband got cancer. (I know I told you all Id write about currency. That is coming but now I’ve been thrown a curve ball by life and want to share the insights from it.) So here is theRead the Rest…
Sufficient Transitions: Recess from Excess (Part 5 of 7)
November 11th, 2009 - 3 Comments
Sufficiency invites us not to get rid of stuff but to allow our stuff to be part of our flow, the in and out of our lives. The gifting, the exchanging, the transferring, so that our stuff, our relationships, our ideas and our love can be part of the back and forth rhythm of life.
Excessiveness in the face of Uncertainty
November 4th, 2009 - No Comments
What of this ever-changing-ness that I so want to control? What excessiveness am I bringing to that? Like overeating because I am tired, or talking too much because I am nervous; do I over-think, over-plan, over-practice, over accumulate knowledge, friends, money or things to protect myself from the uncertainty?

if sufficiency is everywhere is it in the hospital?
October 23rd, 2009 - 3 Comments
I spent much of today at the hospital, waiting. I thought about bringing my computer and I did bring the book chapter I am writing and my crochet set. I was supposed to be there for two hours. Is that enough to occupy me I wondered? More than enough actually. More than I could possiblyRead the Rest…
