Bioneers

The Shift has hit the Fan

Kenny Ausubel is one of the founders of Bioneers and he along with his partner Nina Simons are the backbone of the event. So it's no surprise that one of the most awakening and inspiring speeches came from him during the opening of the event. "The revolution has begun. But in fits and starts. The challenge is it's one minute to midnight - too late to avoid large-scale destruction. We have to fan the shift to ecoliterate societies at sufficient scale and speed to dodge irretrievable cataclysm," he stated. While it sounds dire, his speech, and his call to action, was anything but. Check out more of what he had to say.
As republished on Huffington Post, Kenny's speech focused on changing, well, focus.
From breakdown to breakthrough, it's a revolution from the heart of nature and the human heart. It leads with a basic shift in our relationship with nature from resource and object to mentor, model and partner. Game-changing breakthroughs in science, technology and design such as biomimicry are revolutionizing our very ways of knowing. The Rights of Nature movement is recognizing the inalienable rights of the non-human world of ecosystems and critters, widening our circle of compassion and kinship. Greater decentralization and localization are building resilience from the ground up - shaped by ancient indigenous wisdom of becoming native to our place.
