Human beings construct meaning as spiders make webs.This is how we survive, our primary evolutionary business. Catherine BatesonThe stuff of which humans make meaning is experience, life.-Jack L. Seymour, Margaret Ann Crain, Joseph V. CrockettConscious evolution is the evolution of evolution,from unconscious to conscious choice. We are poised in this critical moment, facing decisions that must be made consciously if we are to avoid destroying the world as we know it.-Barbara Marx Hubbard

What kind of site is this? Its a personal story and a collective story of conscious evolution. It also is a story of hope and a resource for supporting your own journey toward a hope-filled, meaningful, and purposeful life.

Why this kind of site? As Barbara Marx Hubbard says above, today we can consciously choose to contribute to the ongoing evolution of a more peaceful, thriving Earth Community, one day at a time, right where we are. What that takes, though, is knowing who we are and the skills to show up in the world as our best self.

Currents of Change

I was helped by the book, Cultural Creatives, to begin to name for myself the story of the Currents of Change that helped shape my own conscious evolution. Ken Wilbers Integral Vision helped me find the key to understanding my place in evolutions great unfolding. Barbara Marx Hubbards Conscious Evolution further helped me see my life as part of the whole. My reflections on their insights and many more of todays thought leaders are found on the Currents of Change and My Journey tabs on the site menu above.
