11th Annual E.A.R.T.H. Awards
Recognize Environmental Efforts
San Diego EarthWorks, the volunteer-based community organization that, for the past 17 years, has run the EarthFair in Balboa Park and promoted the development of a healthy, prosperous and sustainable future for the San Diego region, awarded its 11 th annual E.A.R.T.H. awards on Thursday, May 11, at its V.I.P. (‘Very Important Planet') Reception held at the City of San Diego Environmental Services ‘Green Building' in Kearney Mesa. Recognizing that people and groups who are making extraordinary efforts on behalf of the environment often go unrecognized and unappreciated beyond their small circle of associates, the awards are intended to give them the wider acknowledgement they deserve and to encourage others to follow their example. According to Carolyn Chase, the EarthWorks's CEO, who, along with husband Chris Klein and others, co-founded the organization in 1989, E.A.R.T.H. stands for Environmental Restoration and Action That Helps . “We are not pretending that this alone can save the world,” she says, “but as the name of the award implies, small things add up. These aren't glamour awards; they're more like workhorse awards!”

James and Salle Redfield on the Movie & Insights
James Redfield started writing The Celestine Prophecy with a clear sense of purpose: he wanted to create a guide or “spiritual roadway” he felt was needed.
“It grew out of the work I did at graduate school. . . . I felt that we were moving from a kind of psychological orientation to a human-potential growth and self-actualization—to an understanding that the kind of shifts we have to make as individuals are not just parts of a psychological process. It's also a process of moving into a kind of spiritual awareness that gives energy to all of the other psychological spheres that we can have.

A Talk with The Peaceful Warrior
TLC: You have a new book The Journeys of Socrates which begins with a quote from Martin Buber: “Every journey has a secret destination of which the traveler is unaware.” I assume that the journey of the Peaceful Warrior , for you from way-back-when, has probably had more than one secret destination
Dan Millman: It really isn't one, it's always a number of destinations. I really haven't strategized my life. I didn't have a strategy out of college, I didn't know what I was going to be doing; I thought maybe a little stuntwork and some writing, but neither one turned out very well at first. I moved up to Berkeley and visited my old coach in the gymnasium, and he said, “You know, I hear the coaching job at Stanford is open,” so the next day at 22 years old I was the head gymnastics coach at a major university. So that's how my life has happened; it's serendipity.
