Description

I can confidently say I'm Lynne Twist's biggest fan, so you can imagine my excitement in having her as my guest on Slo Mo to tell her incredible story. In fact, the talk was so good, we kept going and decided to split it into two episodes. This is Part 1. Listen to Part 2 here.Lynne is an award-winning speaker, fundraiser extraordinaire, consultant, executive coach, global activist, and author of the widely acclaimed book, "The Soul of Money". She is the co-founder of The Pachamama Alliance and founder of The Soul of Money Institute. For over 40 years, she has been a recognized global visionary committed to alleviating poverty and hunger and supporting social justice and environmental sustainability. From working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to the refugee camps in Ethiopia and the threatened rainforests of the Amazon, Lynne’s on-the-ground work has brought her a deep understanding of the social tapestry of the world and the historical landscape of the times we are living in.In Part 1, we discuss:How “divine choreography” (I love that term!) led her on a spiritual journey sparked by the sudden death of her father.Her life altering involvement in The Hunger Project.Juggling humanitarian missions around the globe with mothering 3 kids.Her exposure to the "less fortunate" changing her definition what it means to be "poor" and "rich".The incredible story of grieving with Ethiopian mothers who'd lost their children to famine.How these hungry mothers were paired by Lynne, via a seemingly divine appointment, with wealthy New Yorkers, leading to a gorgeous and inspiring mutual growth.Working with Mother Theresa and recognizing the different 'eras of charity'.Her belief that we are in the the "Sophia Century", the century when women will take their rightful role in co-equal partnership with men and the world will come back into balance.The Bird of Humanity and developing it's male and female wings.The wisdom that there's definitely enough out there for our needs, but never enough for our greed.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Lynne Twist at soulofmoney.org, on Facebook @LynneTwistGlobalVisionary, and on Twitter @Lynne_TwistDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and Thursday.
