Natural Intelligence Unveiled This Week in NYC

(Newswire.net — September 23, 2015) Franklin, TN –As United Nations Member States prepare to adopt a new set of Sustainable Development Goals, a ground-breaking collaboration of campaigners, public figures, companies and civil society groups are uniting to tell seven billion people in seven days that “it’s time to change the world.”

One of the concepts that is ready to change the world is Natural Intelligence.

“Whatever happened to the idea of sourcing our inherent natural intelligence for solving intimately personal and globally shared challenges” says Catherine Cunningham, PhD and CEO of Eikosphere, LLC which is a boutique PR consulting firm focused on social and environmental responsibility campaigns.

“We tap into central intelligence to assess trends, to make important decisions and to launch sensitive missions. We pool our national intelligence from different agencies and resources to optimize our foreign relations and national security interests. We build artificial intelligence platforms, software, robotics to perform work faster, organic knowledge more efficiently and even begin to create new knowledge. We encourage natural talent in different areas, for example sports, medicine, music, philosophy, art and science.? Perhaps we have simply forgotten what natural intelligence means to us in our lives”  Dr. Cunningham continues.

Catherine earned her PhD studying climate impacts on high mountain ecosystems while at ETHZ in Zurich, Switzerland. During her academic career she chaired science conferences and symposia, published her research, directed research teams, taught and presented in Europe and North America. She holds a BA in Cultural Anthropology and International Peace Studies from the University of Notre Dame (UND) and an MS from Utah State University.

Catherine describes her newest venture and her passion as Natural Intelligence. This is a concept that refers to the principles of life, lifestyle choices and our values. It is about nature, a celebration of our own unique and natural wisdom and our interdependent connection to each other. It is about our own innate and universal quest to touch and to expand the brilliant and sacred nature of the living universe.

Said Dr. Cunningham ”This past August 13th was Earth Overshoot Day for 2015. Each year the date moves father back into the heart of our Northern Hemisphere’s hot and dry summer. It is aberrant that humanity (on average/as a whole) currently consumes 1.6 earth’s worth of planetary natural resources per year. And, imagine that by 2030 we may even consume two times the earth’s worth of resources per year if we continue on our current development track, as cautioned by the Global Footprint Network.” 

These statistics are very alarming if they are viewed on their own. However Catherine continues in a determined and hopeful state:

“Now is NOT the time to fear and fret! It’s the time to be fierce and fast moving! It’s the time to “turn on” our creative brilliance and regenerate the planet. It’s the time to chime into a global innovation dance… a dance that has already begun.”

The message for this year’s United Nations summit is one of hope, optimism and action when we keep this idea of Natural Intelligence to the forefront of our minds.

“It’s time to be heroic actors in the design of a future that celebrates and preserves our natural existence. It’s time to better understand our stewardship role in the biosphere. It’s time to intensely study nature’s strategies for survival and create a playbook for humanity’s future “thrival”. It’s time to learn to live together generously and regeneratively It’s time to LIVE those transformative stories that reinforce the ethics, values, and virtues of being in harmony and balance with the Nature that sustains us. It’s time to really ACT–to finance, to design, to engineer, and to construct the Next Now Future that not only regenerates Nature, but also regenerates our peaceful, prosperous, passionate nature.”

And who could possibly argue with that.
