Going forward, this substack will be focused on publishing a monthly newsletter of curated ideas and news from the Second Renaissance ecosystem

This newsletterSeeds of a Second Renaissanceis a curated, digestible, and accessible newsletter for anyone seeking to learn, participate, or collaborate in these areas — or, more broadly, in inner-led transformation for radically wiser societies.

For more about the Second Renaissance see https://secondrenaissance.net/.

Who is it for?

This newsletter is for anyone interested in inner-led transformation for radically wiser societies.

It’s for you if you’re new to terms such as metacrisis, regenerative, integral, and teal — and you want to discover and explore the emerging “Second Renaissance” ecosystem.

It’s also for you if you’re familiar with some of these ideas — and you want to deepen your knowledge, connect the dots, and participate more in the ecosystem.

What’s inside?

Inside each issue, you’ll find:

You can expect topics such as: inner development, systems change, relational practices, contemplative activism, soulcraft, new social paradigms, somatics, consciousness, and cultural evolution…

… and thinkers such as: Joanna Macy, Bayo Akomolafe, Ken Wilber, Donna Haraway, adrienne maree brown, Thich Nhat Hanh, Otto Scharmer, and John Vervaeke…
