Cynthia, thank you for sharing your outstanding presentation with us. I'm sure it was very well received in Basel! In getting in touch with our deeper humanity--which is, as you point out, is sacred, beautiful and good--I have found it helpful to look at some indigenous cultures that may not have had big technological advancements, but nonetheless demonstrated purpose and fidelity to humanity and the well-being of the community that are more advanced than many modern societies. Are you familiar with Malidoma Patrice Somé's book "The Healing Wisdom of Africa: Finding Live Purpose through Nature, Ritual and Community", about the pre-colonial period Dagara people in what is now Burkina Faso? Much for us to learn from here!
