Making the Transition to a Better World

Since 1995 I have been studying the changes that are going on in our world and how they impact men, women, families, and communities. I believe that the old system, what David Korten calls "Empire" and Riane Eisler calls the "Dominator" culture, is coming to an end. Collectively we are creating a new world, one of "Earth Community" and "Partnership." I invite you to join in and share your experiences of the transition period we are in and how we can best create the future we all desire.
