Look up and transcend

Episode 12: In this episode the host, Angie Gust, concludes discussion of John Travis’s 12 dimensions of wellness with transcendence. A transcendent experience is one that takes you out of yourself and makes you believe in the meaning of your life or a larger existence. Transcendence can be experienced along a range of intensities. From feeling lost in music or someone’s voice to transformative as in feeling connected to the universe. In terms of the environment and climate change, Angie discusses the importance of the upcoming UN Conference of the Parties 26, Nov 9-19, in Glasgow Scotland. A recent UN report states that global greenhouse gas emissions must fall by 7.6% each year between 2020 and 2030, or else the world will miss the opportunity to get on track towards the limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C of the Paris Agreement.
