Revolution Twelve

Why volunteer? The short answer is, that there are people and organisations who need volunteers. We live in a world which, simply put, needs meaningful social action. This month we talk about the many benefits of volunteering, some examples of projects we've volunteered with in the past, and what we're going to take on this December...

This month we talk about social connections and why having meaningful relationships is important for our mental and physical health. We also challenge you to make new connections and share kindness through your social relationships...

In this episode we talk about why small personal changes are still worth considering when thinking about the climate emergency...The broad focus of this month's Revolution Twelve challenge is to look at one or more elements of your life and think about how you could change to lessen your impact on the planet. What exactly you do is up to you, but we have bunch of suggestions which you can mix and match to build your personal goal or just use for a little inspiration.

Sitting, walking, even eating... March is the month to explore different mediations and learn to become more mindful. On the podcast we discuss what mindfulness and meditation actually are and some ideas of how you can challenge yourself to take up a daily meditative practice. At the end of the podcast, Anita reads the poem, Peace Is This Moment Without Judgment, by Dorothy Hunt.

For the second month in the Rev12 cycle of challenges, we're discussing giving up alcohol (or another food or drink vice...). Why consider giving up booze for a month and what are the benefits and pitfalls to look out for?

Our second Revolution Twelve podcast starts a cycle of monthly talks, explaining what the challenge is and some of our ideas and thoughts about how and why to tackle it. November is journalling month, and we discuss gratitude journals, why building a habit of noting good things is great for your wellbeing and some of our own personal successes and failures.

In our first Revolution Twelve podcast, we talk about what the project is, who we are and the story behind why we created it.
