The Great Turning of the World
The Great Turning of the World
Pierre hears the incredible vision of an already-unfolding sustainable future, described by author David C. Korten of Yes! Magazine. David Korten is an international development expert, and he describes this Great Turning of humanity. He describes a huge re-shaping of human behavior away from empires driven by globally destructive oil-fuelled behavior, creating a 'perfect storm' of Earth problems.
Unfolding in its place, David describes a huge Earth Community applying local, community-driven and family-oriented sustainable practices. Also envisioned by Buddhist author and Systems Theorist Joanna Macy, the Great Turning offers a beautiful and effective shift that David sees already bubbling up all around us, in countless innovative ways. Filmed at the annual conference of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) at Champlain College. Learn more at: Yes! Magazine or The Great Turning
