Spiritual Activism and Community Building
Scientists tell us that there are enough resources on Planet Earth for everyone to have a high quality of life – if we share. We need a new cooperative paradigm in our lives that promotes kindness, honesty, trust and teamwork. We need to develop cooperative ways of learning, working and creating a better world together. And in the process we need to lighten up, have fun, and realize that the best things in life are not for sale.
