• Process Explorations Summer Finale: Wisdom for Building Alternative Futures

    This session marks the finale of a six-month series in Process Explorations – “Building Alternative Futures.” The theme echoes the 2015 conference sponsored by John B. Cobb, Jr., "Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization." It also underscores the urgency of the present moment in global history, seeking to analyze the present, imagine the potential futures before us, and build toward those futures. As we conclude the series, we celebrate the finale with wisdom from our process mentors and friends, poetry, music, art, and conversation.
