The Power of Language
And your free copy of 'A Glossary for the Appreciation of Life: Part One (A-K)'
Words can be extraordinarily powerful. They can help us recognise and appreciate feelings, experiences and natural phenomena that we may otherwise not notice or may take for granted. Words can also introduce us to other ways of existing, aspects of different cultures and new concepts that can alter where we put our energy and ultimately change our trajectory.
The seemingly simple act of being able to name something has the potential to shape how we see the world, changing what we value and where we put our time and focus. ‘A Glossary for the Appreciation of Life’ was conceived in a PROJECT TIPPING POINT breakout group call and is a small, but hopefully meaningful, contribution to putting a love of life - all life - at the forefront of our hearts, minds and actions. Below are a sample of 10 words included in the glossary. At the bottom is a link to a free download of the full glossary.
I hope these words and the full document brings some joy to your day!
Within the glossary are more than 70 words and their meanings from a breadth of languages and cultures, with the common thread being that these words (re)connect us with nature, ourselves, others and life in general.

Here is some of the wonderful feedback we have received on this Glossary:
“What a beautiful resource this is…”
“The most beautiful and meaningful glossary.”
“Absolutely spectacular! Thank you so much for adding these beautiful expressions to my vocabulary.”
“It's beautiful!”
“This is very lovely!”
“Well, LOVE these!”
PROJECT TIPPING POINT (PTP) is about bringing together eco-visionaries (more details in the glossary 😉) who want to be a part of the change we need to see in the world. United we are working together with the specific goal of reaching the social tipping point of an ecological civilisation being not just an idea and a dream, but actually realised.
This glossary is just an example of the work we are doing together. PTP members have regular meet ups across various time zones, a book club, several What's App groups, and a handful of other projects just like this one in the works.
The next cohort of PROJECT TIPPING POINT begins on the 23rd July, 2024. PTP is a 6 week course but also a community and a place to meet like-hearted people. If this is something you would like be a part of, we'd love you to join us!
