- Our Mission - True Sustainability
The consequences of our current societal story are quickly approaching a climax: unprecedented climate change and mass extinction, fresh water and food shortages of unimaginable proportions, economic and infrastructure collapse. In order to achieve true sustainability, much of society's value system, the story it tells itself, must be exposed as false. Further, methods and means must be available to draft new systems, new stories for society to tell itself and its children. Through a variety of workshops, lectures and other practica, the Foundation provides both the education and means necessary to achieve these goals.
