Where do we go from here, and in practical terms, what must we do to get there? When the contributors to this volume were asked this question, their responses were immediate and impassioned. Leading women thinkers— psychologists, writers, futurists, environmentalists, business consultants, activists, and artists— representing the broadest spectrum of religion, philosophy, spirituality, and ethnicity surveyed the cultural landscape and offer their collective insight into how we can navigate these turbulent times.

The contributors to this anthology— including Joan Borysenko, Sylvia Boorstein, Z Budapest, Flor Fernandez, Shakti Gawain, Gloria Steinem, and Marianne Williamson— speak to what is breaking through and how we can harness its enormous potential. With foresight and intellectual courage that spring from these writings, we can begin to envision the future into being. Delivering messages that are consistently wise, urgent, and healing, the unabridged excerpts featured here include:
