Outlining the new worldview of conscious
evolution, futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard has written a call
to action for the current generation to fulfill its creative
potential. Only in the last fifty years have we gained the
scientific and technological powers to destroy or enhance
the planet's life-support system. Our generation has the
ability to abuse or conserve these powers, to act, in a
way, as cocreator. Conscious Evolution reveals the path
of the cocreatoe, born out of these powers and society's
new spirituality, and discusses the tools and opportunities
that each of us has to fully participate in this exciting
stage of human history.
Barbara Marx Hubbard is a noted futurist,
author, and public speaker. She is president of the Foundation
for Conscious Evolution. One of the co-founding board members
of the World Future Society, her books include: The
Hunger of Eve, The Evolutionary Journey, The
Revelation, and Conscious Evolution. In the 1970s
she co-founded The Committee for the Future, co-designing
twenty-five SYNCON (SYNergistic CONvening) conferences to
find win-win solutions in light of our new potentials. She
also wrote and narrated "The Theater for the Future,"
a multimedia story of creation with a vision of our long-range
future. In the 1980s she presented a 14-part television
series, Potentials, interviewing some of our greatest futurists,
including Buckminster Fuller, Norman Cousins, Gene Roddenberry,
Willis Harman, and others. (This series is now available
on home video.) In 1984 her name was placed in nomination
for the vice presidency of the United States on the Democratic
ticket. She also co-designed three major Soviet-American
citizen summits during the early 1980s.
Hubbard graduated cum laude from Bryn
Mawr College with a B.A. in Political Science. He also studied
at L'Ecole des Sciences Politiques and the Sorbonne in Paris.
She has five children and five grandchildren and lives in
Northern California.
