Sustainability and cultural-change thought-leader for over 40 years. Former astrophysicist. Devoted to accelerating the transition to a humane and sustainable era for humanity and the Earth. I'm pursuing this now through my Substack publication, "Keys to Co-Evolving a Bright Future Now" (co-evolving.context.org) and developing new courses based on the the Foundational Keys (co-evolving.context.org/p/foundational-keys).These are times of crisis but, as the Chinese knew, that involves opportunity as well as danger. While well aware of the dangers, I'm focused on making best use of the opportunity.Along the way I've been the editor/publisher of the award-wining journal, In Context (context.org/iclib/); a co-founder of the Global Ecovillage Network (ecovillage.org/); care-giver to a dying spouse and then single parent; elected city council member; advisor to the American Institute of Architects as they were just starting to get involved with sustainable design(network.aia.org/communities/community-home?CommunityKey=3b790506-aca5-4eff-aaf6-8a7b553dc0ef); solar home builder; leader of a city-plan revision; co-author of the Household Ecoteam program and workbook (researchgate.net/publication/249624311); citizen diplomat for US-USSR relations; midwife for the Findhorn Community's first democratic self-governance system (https://findhorn.cc/); software developer; video editor and photographer; and more.Since 2013, I've been developing and stewarding what has become Context Institute's Bright Future program. This includes the 8-week Bright Future Now online course (context.org/bfnow/) and the worldwide Bright Future Network (context.org/bfnow/bright-future-network/). It's mission is also to accelerating the transition to a humane and sustainable era for humanity and the Earth. If that speaks to you, we'd love to have you join us.
