Seeds of a Second Renaissance: a newsletter for the Second Renaissance ecosystem
We are launching a monthly newsletter of ideas and news from the emerging “Second Renaissance” ecosystem. Subscribe now.
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.
The first edition will be released in February 2025. Subscribe now below.
For more about the Second Renaissance, see https://secondrenaissance.net/.
