A discussion will follow. Barbara Marx Hubbard has been a pioneer in positive options for the future of humanity for forty years. A public speaker, author, futurirst and social innovator, she is president and executive director of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. She posits that evolutionary forces characterized by intensified social and technological creativity, deepening spirituality and environmental awareness are collaborating to create global change: a change with greater magnitude than the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. Many people regard her as an heir to Buckminster Fuller. She has been instrumental in the founding of many future-oriented organizations, including the World Future Society, New Dimensions Radio, Global Family, Women of Vision In Action, The Foundation for the Future, and the Association for Global New Thought. In 1984 her name was placed in nomination for the vice-presidency of the United States on the Democratic ticket. She proposed a Peace Room in the White House and throughout the world, to scan for, map, connect, and communicate what is working. |
