Cultural Emergence : A Toolkit for Transforming Ourselves & the World

From a pioneer in “social permaculture,” how we can foster the inner resources to create the world we know is possible. As we emerge from the pandemic, we know there is no going back but how do we step forward? Looby Macnamara is an international thought leader who has been teaching people how to create positive change in their lives, relationships and communities for nearly 20 years. She draws upon the lineages of indigenous wisdom, permaculture design, the Work That Reconnects and combines these with a new understanding of systems thinking and culture to create a profoundly effective toolkit. Cultural Emergence supports us in designing the world we want to live in. It is both a framework and toolkit that enables our personal and collective journeys of connection and well-being.
