Philosopher Ken Wilber, author of The Integral Vision,  said that “Conscious Evolution – the name of Barbara’s seminal book and a concept she has championed for decades, “is one of the best two or three ideas of modern times.”

Today we’re going to discuss her newly published book, Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanity's Great Shift to the Age of Conscious Evolution, In it, she and a dozen other  visionaries, whom she calls the welcoming committee, articulate the urgency of the crises we face and their vision for a planetary rebirth.
