From the Ground Up and Inside Out: Building a Just and Sustainable World, Starting with Ourselves. Be Present, Inc. (BPI) and the Common Fire Foundation (CFF) believe that for large scale change to occur, we must first uncover our true self by understanding our past experiences and personal barriers. Only then can we make conscious choices and work through challenges to build stronger partnerships and healthier communities. BPI uses the Be Present Empowerment Model® (BPEM)to affect systemic change by helping people find their true voices, break personal and collective silences, and create new avenues of trust and understanding across differences. BPI and CFF recognize today's world requires nurturing new ways of thinking and living that can help us bridge to the more just and sustainable human story awaiting us on the other side. CFF creates communities that not only train people in the skills this new reality will require, but that actually embody that transformation: from our LEED Platinum housing co-op in NY to the larger scale communities forming in NY and Oakland. In this workshop, learn from the successes and failures of social change and ecovillage movements worldwide, and how we can use the BPEM as a foundation to personal well-being and the healthy relationships needed to build positive social change.

Be Present, Inc. supports you to be present in your life – to be a more effective leader in creating well being within yourself as well as in your family, school, organization, workplace and community. We teach the Be Present Empowerment Model® at trainings ranging from one day workshops to weekend retreats to intensive 18-month institutes. The Be Present Empowerment Model® (BPEM) is a leadership development model that enables people to be successful in reaching their goals. You learn how to strengthen your self knowledge and ability to question, make connections, think creatively, take risks, reflect, make choices and collaborate with others. You develop skills to consciously listen to and interact with others in the present moment, build trust, deal positively with challenging issues and move beyond them to create lasting partnerships. The BPEM supports people to move from silence to active engagement and from individual empowerment to collective action. We organize Be Present Peer Led Support Groups to strengthen your skills and Regional Organizing Core Groups to support diverse people to work together in their communities. We build coalitions and partnerships throughout the country with other nonprofits engaged in improving people’s lives. We work to achieve peace and justice for all people.
