The Great Turning, Shambhala, living in communion with Pachamama. There are may ways to think about the re-design of societies that will be needed to have a sustainable relationship with all the other life-forms on this planet. I agree with others that the coming decades will be a time of turmoil, of peril and promise. Each human will choose the vision of the future they support, by living the values implicit in that future.
