ABSTRACT
With all our talk about creativity and visioning, it makes sense to conclude with dreaming an ideal future. Influenced by the utopian tradition, Wendy wrote ‘Stories from The Great Turning’, a prayer for our cities, from her tiny rural village in New South Wales (pop. 350). Sir Thomas More wrote what is considered the first utopian novel in 1516 (Utopia) and was followed by more contemporary authors of speculative fiction, including Ursula K. Le Guin (Always Coming Home), Marge Piercy (Woman on the Edge of Time), Starhawk (The Fifth Sacred Thing) and Ernest Callenbach (Ecotopia). Invitation
Sit with us and become part of a future story where we are more fully interconnected with ourselves and eachother in cities and nature.
