Living Systems Movement Building with Rivera Sun


Listen Later

The desire to connect and become a greater whole is part of human nature. In our bodies we are 100 trillion cells all operating together in an amazing miraculous living wholeness. And now we see how our world is gathering around our shared dreams for a future, around our deep common values and the embodied knowing that, as Martin Luther King, Jr., said so well “"We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." So there is a growing living systems awareness that we are not separate, that we are connected; that we don’t have to compete, we can collaborate; and that we can celebrate our diversity even while discovering we can align and hold powerful shared intentions. WE need this now on Earth more than ever and this is an evolutionary moment where we choose a new operating system together. My guest today to explore what this “Movement of Movements” really means is a powerful and beautiful woman who understands these dynamics from the inside out. Rivera Sun is the author of The Dandelion Insurrection, Billionaire Buddha, and Steam Drills, Treadmills, and Shooting Stars, and the cohost of Love (and Revolution) Radio. Rivera speaks, educates, and offers workshops on nonviolent struggle. Her essays on social justice movements appear in Truthout and Popular Resistance. As she recently wrote: “All our issues are connected, the problems arise together, and the solutions relate to one another." This is our unified field.
