Accidental Gods

Another World is still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose and now it has gone- and it"s never coming back. We have the power of gods to destroy our home. But we also have the chance to become something we cannot yet imagine, and by doing so, lay the foundations for a future we would be proud to leave to the generations yet unborn. What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity? What happens if we let go of the race for

When Forrest Landry was 16 years old, he took a vow to meet the Natural World openly, fully, without any projection or expectation on his part - he was not going to take one step and wait for the rest of the world to take 99 steps to him - he was going to go all the way. His life has been shaped by the experience - and he talks to us this week about where that has taken him. "Love is that which enables choice. Love is always stronger than Fear.
