"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." --Martin Luther King Jr.

A Reset for Unprecedented Times

"We are currently living amid a planetary climate emergency, a global pandemic, uprisings against state violence upon Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples, and a failing economic system the world over. Pandemic lockdowns have forced major lifestyle changes: shifting consumption habits, realizing how deeply connected we are to each other and the environment, and focusing more on the non-material aspects of life for strengthening our well-being. Never before in modern society have we had to redesign our lives with such speed and magnitude: how we live them, how we connect with one another, and what and how we consume. This is precisely where Buen Vivir comes in. Buen Vivir represents a combination of respect and reciprocity, community, solidarity and harmony. The idea is far from novel."
