Remaking Society

Book: “Remaking Society is a primer on Murray Bookchin’s ideas. In an accessible style it takes the reader through anthropology; the emergence of heirarchy and modern capitalism; technology; utopian radical solutions; urbanization and communities; and the ethics of social ecology – or towards a philosophy of nature and community. Murray Bookchin (1921 – 2006) was an American anarchist and libertarian socialist author, orator, historian, and political theorist. A pioneer in the ecology movement, Bookchin initiated the critical theory of social ecology within anarchist, libertarian socialist, and ecological thought. He was the author of two dozen books covering topics in politics, philosophy, history, urban affairs, and ecology.”

Responsible Wealth

“We are a network of business leaders, investors, and inheritors in the richest 5% of wealth and/or income in the U.S. that believes that growing inequality is not in our best interest, nor in the best interest of society. As beneficiaries of economic policies tilted in their favor, we feel a responsibility to join with others in examining and changing the corporate and government policies that widen the economic gap. As wealthy and upper-income individuals, we speak out — in Congress, in the media, and in corporate boardrooms — for progressive taxes and greater corporate accountability. Responsible Wealth is a project of United for a Fair Economy — an organization that supports workers organizing and advocating for policies that make our economy more fair and equitable. Responsible Wealth and United for a Fair Economy make a powerful partnership — one that challenges decision makers and politicians to act in the best interests of the people our economy is supposed to serve. By becoming a member of the Responsible Wealth Project, you are able to use your unique voice to support a variety of progressive groups working on many economic, racial, and social justice issues.”

Rewild your heart – undomesticate your life

“Hi! My name is Ren Hurst. I’m an author, social entrepreneur, and spiritual activist that is rewilding hearts and undomesticating lives through interspecies relationships. As a former professional horse trainer, I spent nearly two decades mastering how to modify the behavior of others to suit my own needs. All that changed when I stumbled upon a radically different approach, whose philosophy I combined with other areas of my own experience/education to reach far beyond horsemanship. Today, my life is dedicated to speaking up for animals and teaching people what I’ve learned from choosing love over exploitation. “


Rewild your Heart. Undomesticate your Life.

“Are you ready to rewild your heart so you can undomesticate your life? The wild in you hears the calling of your soul. It is your true nature and most authentic self. For far too long we have lived domesticated lives perpetuated by our domestication of others. In doing so, we cut ourselves off from the wisdom of the wild. I’m here to help you restore the connection to your soul’s guidance through a body of work I call Sanctuary13; a set of 13 practically applied principles that can undomesticate your life and empower you to be the person you were meant to be. Our animal kin have a lot to teach us about the true power and unconditional nature of love. Using Sanctuary13, I guide people in revolutionizing their relationships with animals, removing obstacles that are likely keeping them from leading a truly fulfilling and inspired life. The animals, of course, benefit tremendously as well.”
