Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to learn about this sculpture called SHIFT.

It makes one think, doesn’t it? What does an observer feel about 2 halves of the earth being shifted apart along the earth’s axis?

Does this represent the state of the world today? Is it a representation of where we are headed? What could WE do, or how would WE SHIFT to bring the two halves back together?

The people that created SHIFT and brought this sculpture to this site to be viewed by the public invite you to share some of our thoughts about SHIFT.

Thoughts from the Original Designer

For me it’s a multi-faceted concept that was born out of climate and how politics relates to the climate and earths future. But it’s even more than that, it affects our health, our economy and our social lives. How and when did this begin? We can all see the symptoms but what is the root cause of this civilizational pandemic? And more importantly, is it too late to make changes? I would like to put a positive spin on Shift. It gives me hope that my grandchildren and future generations can live happy lives.

For me Shift is a calling. It reminds me that out of pain and brokenness comes new life and growth.  The earth is filled with beauty and healing energy. Life wants to go forward. She will recharge and recover from the abuse.  Will we?  A life lived in harmony with the earth and her inhabitants will bring the answer. Our species will not survive without cooperation and collaboration.

N & D -

The art piece, Shift, is here to inspire and invite people to pause, reflect and unite in the onslaught of chaos. You are not alone. We are experiencing this Shift together.

We as a culture and individually, are going through an immense process of eradication of old beliefs and patterns. At the same time, we are also manifesting new and improved ones. We are on the cusp of the greatest Shift and expansion in consciousness this planet has ever seen. Our purpose is to continue raising our frequency by working on ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically and Spiritually.

Let us manifest the highest and best for everyone. This new awareness will be the template that we will use to build our future. Our positive energy ripples out and affects those around us. When we operate from this new space of infinite possibilities, each individual awakens and steps into their Divine essence, they become a light on a connected energetic web of consciousness. When there are enough lights, the web will become activated and the whole Earth will give rise to a higher vibrational frequency that will cause a positive Universal SHIFT.

T & C

 Shift:  a change in position, direction, or tendency 

 It feels like the world is out of balance.  Out of sorts.  Too many with too little.  Too many with too much.    And we humans are very slow to change the trajectory of the path we are on, even when disaster is staring us in the face.  But we can change that, starting now, one person at a time.

First, we want to acknowledge that as a society,  we are shifting.   Recent polls show that nearly 8 out of 10 Americans now acknowledge that human activity is fueling global warming, and half of them understand that we must act now to escape its worst effects.  The decades-old ideological divide on the climate issue is over and people of all political persuasions are finally beginning to see that we are all in this together.   

Second, we want to acknowledge that the conversation about climate change is shifting.  The people who are most impacted by the effects of climate change have the fewest resources to deal with them.   We are starting to listen to those who have been the best stewards of nature, have attitudes of nurture and strive to bring us back to balance.

Third, we need to keep shifting.  The worldwide conversation surrounding the climate crisis feels bigger, more serious, and more urgent than ever before.  But we have not yet reached the tipping point  - the moment when enough people think and behave and act like climate change is the existential threat that it is – to cause massive and collective action to be undertaken.

If you have yet to commit to being part of the climate solution, go to www.globalclimatepledge.com and start your own personal shift.
