This is a very important subject for the future of mankind and our planet. Unfortunately, at this time very few of the world's movers and shakers are aware of this phenomenon , rather they are engulfed by the rational, individualism and the status quo.

let us then be the ones that move the conversation into the collective world - Now is the time and WE - is the future. Let's lean into our hopes and dreams, and let the future emerge as us at our best - and let's not quit....let us create a new model amongst all who care. I am in.
