"All past transformations in natural and human cultural evolution were made possible only by the collapse of what was inadequate. As we face into the difficult but inevitable collapse of the present industrial economy, let us see it as a portal opening to a more beautiful, integrated way of living in balance with the greater web of being. This perspective can give depth and meaning to our lives."
Miriam MacGillis, Genesis Farm founder
Message of the Month
We are stardust-as-human-civilization, dawning into an evolutionary imperative: the creation of a collectively wise culture that is capable of its own conscious evolution.
-Tom Atlee, Reflections on Evolutionary Activism
What is Earth Asking of Us?... A Question for Transition Times
This is always a guiding question for us here at Genesis Farm: What is Earth asking of us? Last year we expanded our part of the Great Work into the Transition movement, an international grassroots effort formed out of an urgency to move communities from oil dependency to community resilience in the face of Peak oil, climate change, and economic instability. Asking what Earth is asking of us has moved us this year into a deeper commitment to the Transition movement.
