Global Synergy

By Nancy B. Roof, and
To our Readers, I recently returned from an inspiring event where I could connect to the many faces I had only previously known online. Theory and exchanging ideas can be illuminating, but there is nothing that can replace the human face-to-face contact with our colleagues and friends, many of whom we’ve met through the Internet. The body language and gestures, the tone of voice, the…

Birthing Planetary Civilization

By Nancy B. Roof, and
The moment everything changed… was it really just one moment when everything changed? Or was it a silent, invisible struggle—questioning, reflecting, enduring, shifting to try to make everything work—that finally led to the critical moment when the changes became visible and our lives were transformed forever?

What Kind of Leader Are You?

By Nancy B. Roof, and
Dear Friends of Kosmos, Sometime ago my son asked, “Mom, what kind of leader do you think you are?” I was taken aback as I had actually never thought about myself in this way. I automatically began thinking about political leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev and Kofi Annan, or business leaders such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, or media prophets such as Bill Moyers, or religious figures…

Already the effects of worldwide networks are radically changing our personal and collective lives in every dimension: political,…

A Movement of Momentous Proportions

Generative dialogues…
