The Opportunity
of This Time
A monumental shift is going on in the world, from a "you or me" competitive world to a "you and me" world of collaboration and cooperation, to allow us to forge a mutually enhancing relationship with nature.
An Invitation from Lynne Twist
Pachamama Alliance co-founder Lynne Twist calls this part of the Luncheon "the part that's about you." Here she talks about the "unsung financial heroes of history" -people who invested their money to create the future their hearts knew was possible- and invites you to see that you have that same profound opportunity available to you today.

Or as I put it in my work, a fundamental choice: life in service of business or business in service of life. #Pachamama
