2 days til SHIFT issue 6 is out! In this upcoming issue of SHIFT we peer beneath the surface of the modern life we take for granted, taking aim at globalization, disconnection, and the fetishization of economic growth. Our competitive, compliant, consumerist culture is not likely coming with us into the future, according to the cultural creatives pushing the envelope on change. From Atamai Eco-village in New Zealand, Rafaele Joudry reports on a community that is putting localization, downshifting, and participatory governance into practice; Geoff Mosley, Queensland director of CASSE, sketches a vision for a steady-state economy of the future; and author Carolyn Baker reveals a sneak-preview of her upcoming book: Love in the Age of Ecological Apocalypse, examining the art of cultivating resilient communities. And more...! While you wait, why not put your feet up and have a read of one of our back issues? Free downloads available here: shift-magazine.org/ We hope youre looking forward to it as much as we are :-)
