Description of Group: FL-IONS is a self-organizing, shared leadership, learning community of IONS members committed to discovering and taking the next steps in Florida toward a vision of a wisdom society.
Our purpose is to help connect and cross-pollinate local and regional, transformative organizations that inspire compassion, tolerance, trust and cooperation in co-creating our collective future.
By raising public awareness of IONS as an international network of listeners and learners, we seek to expand IONS' membership, as well as help to financially support its compelling vision.
Let’s stay connected!

Serving the Emerging Community Benefit*
…the only limits to the human mind are those we believe in. ~Willis Harman
♥ In these historic moments, We, the People, are called to serve with a deepening awareness and appreciation that Love and Compassion are at the “heart” of connections… with ourselves… families… communities…organizations… the world…and our environment.
♥ The power in these energetic bonds can produce peace in our own lives and transform the world into the change we want to see. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
♥ We’ll engage in conversations such as World Cafes, Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space, and Circles as we harvest the wisdom from the group and celebrate our similarities with laughter.
FL-IONS purpose: To support IONS mission and interconnect organizations in Florida… by seeding conversations that inspire our present and co-create our future.
IONS mission: Advancing the science of consciousness and human experience to serve individual and collective transformation.
