Alan is a rare & beautiful blend of practical-minded scientist/researcher and open-hearted mystic. He contemplates deeply and writes succinctly about how humanity got where it is, the high-stakes crossroads we find ourselves in, and why consciousness is the path forward.
Eisenstein speaks clearly about both our current reality and "the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible." He cuts through the hazy veils of dominant narrative (including the myth that violence solves violence), steers the conversation back to love, reminds us that we aren't separate, and dares us to imagine the world that is possible.
Johnstone is an independent journalist/artist that writes logically, artfully, and passionately about politics and the necessity of a collective shift in consciousness. I value her perspective on Western empire, dedication to producing work from intrinsic motivation instead of external pressures, and the fact that she puts gift economy principles into practice and is 100% crowd-funded. Check out her About page on Substack for a great intro.
Karna is a wonderful storyteller on all kinds of juicy topics. She keeps it real, always. Her authenticity is inspiring whether what she's showing up for is life, business, parenting, or social media. She's also a marketing-from-alignment superstar and my dear friend since 2014.
