As many of you know, I'm immersed in a soul-stirring project: writing a comprehensive book on death, grief, and the afterlife, while also dreaming into being a more conscious and compassionate world- along with many of you. Today, while deep in the creative flow, reflecting on how we might reimagine the final phase of life for elders, life delivered one of its delightful synchronicities.
Out of the blue, a dear friend I haven’t heard from in ages sent me a video… and not just any video. It is a gorgeous glimpse of Bhutan’s visionary plans to create Gelephu Mindfulness City — a sanctuary of spiritual values, sustainable living, and reverence for the Earth. Their goal is to bring it into being within the next ten years.
Talk about divine timing.
This is exactly the kind of bold, beauty-infused dreaming our world needs. A living reminder that we can design communities that nurture the soul as well as the body, where elders are honoured, nature is cherished, and peace is a shared value.
Do take 14 minutes to watch — and be inspired: Bhutan's Mindfulness City – Gelephu
A New Earth is not only possible — it's already unfolding in places like this. Let’s keep dreaming, imagining, and building it together.
