THE WAY OF THE WILD FEMININE: NEW STORY OF SELF, NEW MAP FOR THE WORLD
The wild feminine is not only sustainable in all worlds, it sustains all worlds.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The map of the psyche and the map of the world are drawn from the same story: The deeply rooted myth of a separate, independent, and autonomous self. The 5,000 year old story we live by is a story of…

Helen Camakaris | Why We Ignore Climate Change
By Helen Camakaris
Humankind has much to celebrate. Our intellect has taken us to the moon, deciphered the code that defines us and created sublime works of art and music. But our intellect has also delivered us the means of our own destruction.
In the last few hundred years we have not only invented the means of exploiting fossil fuels, but we have also developed the economic and political…

Prospect Citizens of the New World
This is the continuation of the first topic “To be a citizen of the new world” that emphasize to become humble like a foot. Now I would like to introduce another nature bible, which I obtained from my teacher Suksun, to “Become a root”.
