About

Imagine sitting with a small group of people who are ready to look honestly at our planetary crisis—engaging it through these questions, and within a Council practice.

We begin by locating ourselves within the turbulence of our social and political systems, and this extractive economy. Reviewing the symptoms of breakdown in the ecosystem and climate, we explore the root causes of the crisis—cultural, political, economic, psychological and spiritual. Together, we consider the implications of what is taking place. We lean into the loss and uncertainty. We offer possibilities for our individual and collective behavior. Finally, we ask how we might live now, given what we are coming to know.

In the Council on the Uncertain Human Future, we stay with what we come to see…allowing the complexity, uncertainty, vision and possibility to emerge from reckoning with this unprecedented reality. In a gradual collective way, new solidarity, momentum, creative insight and collaboration become possible.
