Seeds of a Second Renaissance: a newsletter
We live in a moment of civilizational crisis and awakening — what we could call a "second renaissance".
There are many terms associated with it: metamodern, metacrisis, integral, teal, liminal web, gameB, regenerative and more.
Seeds of a Second Renaissance is a curated, digestible, and accessible newsletter for anyone seeking to learn, participate, or collaborate in these areas — or, more broadly, in inner-led transformation for radically wiser societies.
It is the companion newsletter to the Second Renaissance website: https://secondrenaissance.net/.
👥 Who is it for?
This newsletter is for anyone interested in inner-led transformation for radically wiser societies.
It's for you if you're new to terms such as metacrisis, regenerative, integral, and teal — and you want to discover and explore the emerging "Second Renaissance" ecosystem.
It's also for you if you're familiar with some of these ideas — and you want to deepen your knowledge, connect the dots, and participate more in the ecosystem.
👀 What’s inside?
Inside each issue, you’ll find:
Recommended events, articles, podcasts, books, and videos
