Finding Purpose at a Time of Challenge old Vision page

"The aspects of our situation that make this [deep transformation of human civilization] inevitable include: the ecological crisis unleashed by human activity over the last centuries, the accelerated evolution of technology that has made us globally connected, and the integration of the world's esoteric and mystical traditions with modern scientific thought."                                                                                                    – Daniel Pinchbeck

Purpose

The purpose of the IRL is:
    >   To bring together emerging adults and more seasoned men and women (who in other cultures would be honored as elders)
    >   To develop a new generation of ReGenerative leaders who go beyond sustainability
    >   To convene mentorship triads that mirror the deep truth and unique gifts of each person’s true vocation
    >   To offer practical education that develops tangible skills, and
    >   To convene cooperative enterprises that provide apprenticeships and employment

In a way that:
    >   Every individual encounters their deepest truth, without  judgment or attachment
    >   Each participant is able to bring their authenticity to a dialog process that surfaces clear seeing, and
    >   Invites a deeper wisdom and a practical know-how to show itself

In order to   
     >   Reorient our personal and collective soul to life’s true purpose    
     >   Reconnect with each other in a tangible and committed community,  and
     >   Regenerate life on the earth
