Stretching The Perimeters Of The Possible with Jean Houston

MP3 Download

We live in a time of such rapid change that sometimes it feels like we might wake up one morning, walk outside the front door and be facing a future we didn't prepare for. Jean Houston, one of the early point riders of the human potential movement says: "It's time to wake up - learn to cook on more burners," because we have "come to the edge of our tolerance and it's time to jump." Because "we're all encoded with a dynamic purpose," Houston believes we can "create a new order of social artistry that reflects righteousness between people, creativity, health and spiritual power." Find out how to begin in this inspiring dialogue. (hosted by Michael Toms)
