June is LGBTQI+ pride month and at The Transformational Travel Council we are reflecting on the progress we have made as human beings, but also on the continued threat that is present for LGBTQI+ people - especially people of color and trans people - in our world.

It’s no secret that our planet is headed for an increasingly disastrous loss of life due to the consequences of rising temperatures on a global scale unless major steps are taken to reverse the course.

Tourism's Climate Action Needs to Come from Within

The time is now to take a higher consciousness approach in tourism, with reverence for the power that travel has in deepening our relations with ourselves, each other, and the planet. People protect what they love, it’s that simple, and the inside-out transformations that come from this primal place are a million times more sticky, enduring, and expansive than scientific reports, manuals, or listicles on how to do better or else. Maybe, just maybe, it is less about doing and more about BEING?

Mondays With Eric: Just Breathe

As the message of breathing came to me, I noticed that this was an extremely common theme for me this week. I started to panic earlier in the week when I realized I had 2 projects, an exam, 2 quizzes and reading every day all this week.

Mondays with Eric: My Sacred Place

A new meditation technique that I recently found out about is this idea of a room, hidden within your meditations. Not a place that takes place in the physical world but hidden within your heart. My room is something I discovered within my first meditation, but never realized the power that it brought to me. It’s a place that continuously expands and gets more and more detailed with each visit.

Mondays With Eric: The Right Tribe

The right group isn’t supposed to “carry you to the promise land”, but they should be able to help pick you up again when you don’t see the light. They should inspire you to become a better person than what you were yesterday. You will feel lighter and better when you are surrounded by your true tribe.
