Meditation and Imagining Greening Our Valley

Walter and Susan Davis Moora are global nomads currently traveling 
for a year to towns intending to go green, sharing stories of how 
other towns are doing it. In particular, they'll share the story of 
Vilcabamba, Ecuador. There, they started a "KINS Innovation Network" 
pro-bono using some contributed U.S. funds to help this Andean 
village become a model global village based on love, trust and 
generosity.

Before telling their story, Walter and Susan will lead a meditation 
on the Earth at Meditation Mount; residents of Ojai Valley are 
invited to participate. Walter and Susan will invite us to co-create 
a 'go green' vision by asking us to imagining the fulfillment of what 
we have already undertaken to green Ojai Valley. From that spiritual 
place, they'll ask us to share what role that we've played, doing 
what we love to do and do well without pay.

Susan Davis Moora is the author of The Trojan Horse of Love, being 
gifted on Google rather than sold. Her book describes her life 
working with sustainability leaders to create KINS Innovation 
Networks for greening our towns and economy 
(http://www.capitalmissions.com/).

Walter Moora is the author of A Farmer's Love, describing his life as 
a biodynamic farmer on four continents, teaching non-farmers how to 
steward the earth and experience its spirituality.

ABOUT CAPITAL MISSIONS COMPANY
http://www.capitalmissions.com/
Capital Missions Company (CMC) creates networks of investors, 
business leaders and philanthropists to catalyze a globally 
sustainable economy. Over the past 26 years, President Susan Davis, 
has successfully proven KINS (Key Initiator Network Strategy), her 
networking method, as a time-efficient and cost-efficient approach to 
introduce innovation into culture. KINS networks leverage 
philanthropic dollars into catalytic initiatives to solve social 
problems and is based on the understanding that 'we are all one'.

Over the past 26 years Susan Davis, using the KINS method, has served 
as a founding organizer for networks of sustainability leaders, solar 
leaders, angel investors, institutional investors, Nigerian village 
women, social venture capitalists, leading socially-responsible CEOs, 
families with wealth of $100 million plus, leading women business 
owners, leading finance executives, and Chicago women leaders.

As founding organizer, she suggested the network's mission, raised 
the funds to organize the network, identified the constituencies to 
be represented, researched to find the servant leaders to represent 
each constituency, brought the servant leaders together to design the 
network and then executed the design they created. After 1-3 years, 
when each network was ready for self-administration, CMC spun off the 
networks to be independent.

CMC recently spun off the Tipping Point Network. The Tipping Point 
Network was intended to focus philanthropic funds to increase the 
market share of sustainability from its current 2% to 10%, after 
which the 'tipping point' is expected to occur and the global economy 
is expected to fund sustainability. (See the TPN power point to the 
left.) When servant leaders from 35 constituencies gathered heeding 
this call, they decided to focus on powerful collaborations they 
created across many spheres to create sustainability's tipping point. 
In the first year, more than $3 million in grants and pledges was 
committed to tipping point initiatives. TPN keeps a low profile to 
avoid "institutional narcissism" and members have a particular 
interest in "local living economies."

CMC shares the KINS innovation method "open source" on its website as 
each network enhances the KINS design over the last one. The latest 
enhancements have been created by the Tipping Point Network and are 
summarized in the TPN powerpoint on this page.

Susan Davis is presently creating a KINS Innovation Network pro bono 
in Vilcabamba, Ecuador, a model global eco-village. Eight village 
leaders from different constituencies have launched a dozen projects 
they are passionate about to serve Vilcabamba through a network named 
"Ayni Mollepamba" (Reciprocity in Mollepamba), a neighborhood of 
Vilcabamba. Working pro bono, they have received grants for their 
out-of-pocket expenses from FlowFunding.org, Marion Weber's 
innovative program in philanthropy. Through FlowFunds channeled 
through this KINS Innovation Network, we are demonstrating how 100% 
of philanthrophic funds from the developed world can get to the 
ground in the developing world. In addition, GlobalGiving.com is a 
third partner. Not only do FlowFunds come through them, but our 
projects will soon be shown on the GlobalGiving.com website so that 
anyone in the world can contribute to them using PayPal.

Susan Davis is now available for key consulting assignments offering 
high leverage in transforming the global economy to sustainability.

Susan Davis, president of Capital Missions, has been working in the 
trenches of our dysfunctional capital markets for decades. She helped 
found the community bank ShoreBank; the Committee of 200, a group of 
top women business owners she empowered to take charge of their 
money; and Investors' Circle, a national network of social venture 
capital investors. Susan founded most of the effective networks of 
investors funding solar energy and shifting our global economy toward 
sustainability. Susan is working closely with me to ?accelerate the 
growth of the green economy. We've given up on Wall Street, so we're 
helping launch a new electronic stock exchange exclusively devoted to 
socially responsible investors and enterprises, Mission Markets. Like 
most female leaders, Susan isn't ego-driven, nor does she seek 
publicity or power. Only since the current financial crises are women 
being called on for advice; Wall Street has always been a male 
bastion and still deeply resists women. Susan has long believed the 
most effective approach to deep social change is to fly under the 
radar. So it gives me great pleasure to nominate her in the hope that 
she gets some richly deserved credit at last.
