Conscious evolution: The next stage of human development

Conscious evolution is emerging in our generation because humanity has gained the powers of co-destruction of our world, or the co-creation of immeasurable futures. The purpose of conscious evolution is to learn how to be responsible for the ethical guidance of evolution. This new world view arises out of three new conditions: the new cosmology, the new crises and our new capacities, leading toward a macroshift. The Foundation for Conscious Evolution is formed to discover and offer a new developmental path to the next stage of human evolution. It offers three projects to serve this purpose: Gateway to our Conscious Evolution, a six-month online educational program; the development of a conscious evolution community in Santa Barbara and the formation of a 'Peace Room' on the web and in localities to scan for, map, connect and communicate what is working to heal and evolve our world.
