The Phoenix Conversations
are called forth by
- the possible confluence of emerging mega-crises -- climate change, peak oil, financial chaos, fascism...
- the limits of debate -- and the power of shared inquiry and co-creativity
- the prospect of profound disruption, collapse, transformation, and rebirth
The Phoenix Conversations
seek to better understand and address three crisis tendencies:
- impacts tend to arise faster than our understanding
- action tends to lag behind our understanding
- time to think about and resources to address issues tend to decline as disasters increase
The Phoenix Conversations
seek to include
- a full range of scenarios - from mild to positive to catastrophic to terminal
- a full range of impact dimensions - from economics to youth to geopolitics to nature
- a full range of perspectives - from science to spirituality to social justice to public policy
The Phoenix Conversations
seek to call forth
- creativity and vitality in the face of radical uncertainty, danger, and opportunity
- understandings and initiatives of comparable magnitude to the challenges we face
- the conscious evolution of consciousness, culture, technology, and social systems
