“In order to move beyond self-blame and isolation, it is important that we recognize the multifaceted ways that the economy assaults our self-esteem, our joy and our happiness. The good news is that throughout the world, people are waking up to the systemic roots of their psychological wounding, and coming together to find refuge and healing… People are stepping away from the consumer rat-race, and restoring the connections to self, community and nature that are the cornerstones of real wellbeing.” Helena Norberg-Hodge in Countercurrents.
We’re regularly bombarded with bad news, and frequently presented with problems that all too often appear to be without solutions. I can only imagine the toll this takes on our hearts and souls. I’m reminded of a line in an old song, “sure could use a little good news today.” And so the following documentary offers just that, a little good news, and people implementing solutions. People like Helena Norberg-Hodge.
