Founder and creator of what started as a Facebook Group “Phone credit for refugees and displaced people” turned into an organisation that provides vital phone credit to refugees and displaced adults and children around the world. The Facebook group created by James from his computer following an eye-opening trip to Calais. Giving the gift of communication to people who are seperated from family and friends, miles away from home and in very uncertain circumstances. They have supplied over 700,000’s worth of phone credit to displaced adults and children allowing them to make contact with loved ones, stay up to date with news from home and even summon emergency life saving assistance. Over 70,000 Facebook followers and 700,000 worth of top ups for people who need it most. James talk will cover the small thread of where compassion and responsibility end. Showing his perspective of what a community is ? What do we define as 'our own'. How this allowed him to find a creative solution.

Language of the breadth of life. Sequoyah Trueblood speaks candidly of his experiences with the Mamos, or spiritual elders of the high mountains of Colombia. He was accompanied by James O'Dea, one of the great peacemakers of our time. Together they are present to Sing a revered Mamo back to life, whereupon he blesses Sequoyah with a transmission of Peace in the Heart to carry back to the North and out into the world. Part II here.

The Foundation for Global Humanity is grateful for this opportunity to film Sequoyah at the Shift Retreat at IONS in Northern California in June 2011. With deep respect, we present this sacred story from Sequoyah Trueblood, accompanied by James O'Dea.

Watch his full talk here: http://bit.ly/2l5a4eB James Nestor - Making Contact: New Approaches to Cracking the Communication of Whales and Dolphins. James Nestor, an author and journalist with a passion for extreme adventure who has written for Scientific American, National Public Radio and The New York Times, draws from his mind-boggling, multiple award-winning new book, DEEP: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves. He describes how groups of athletes and scientists plumbed ocean depths, and researchers collaborating with engineers from Apple, Google and elsewhere worked to "crack" the cetacean language code and send back messages to these giant marine mammals - to make contact. Their weird and wondrous new discoveries might just redefine our understanding of the ocean, and of ourselves. This speech was given at the 2016 National Bioneers Conference. Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
