My focus for the last 14 years has been the workplace:  an invisible prison where so many people spend three fourths of their waking hours. Today’s workplace…

Living Lineages: Simplicity, Complexity and the Deepening Eco-Social-Spiritual Integration

By Adam Rubel Communities around the planet are dealing with crises resulting from the complicated and complex web of problems that have emerged out of our modern society.  Whether viewed through the lens of climate change, wealth disparit, food security or any other inter-related issue, we have an opportunity to address the fundamental cause: the disconnect  etween our human designs and the…
