Reality Check: Less Quantity, More Quality in a Future that will Work, Part 4 of our series w Simon Michaux

Another World is still Possible.  The old system was never fit for purpose and now it has gone - it is never coming back. 

We have the power of gods to destroy our home. But we also have the chance to become something we cannot yet imagine,
and by doing so, create a future we would be proud to leave to the generations yet unborn. 

What happens if we commit to a world based on the values we care about: compassion, courage, integrity? 

What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves (so we have to do the inner work of healing individually and collectively), between ourselves and each other (so we have to do the outer work of relearning how to build generative communities) and between ourselves and the Web of Life (so we have to reclaim our birthright as conscious nodes in the web of life)?

We can do this - and every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being.  We have all the answers, we just lack the visions to weave them into a future that works.  We can make this happen. We will. Join us. 



Accidental Gods is a podcast and membership program devoted to exploring the ways we can create a future that we would be proud to leave to the generations yet to come.

If we're going to emerge into a just, equitable - and above all regenerative - future, we need to get to know the people who are already living, working, thinking and believing at the leading edge of inter-becoming transformation.
Accidental Gods exists to bring these voices to the world so that we can work together to lay the foundations of a world we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us. 
We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system.  
Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future.
