Are you struggling to make sense of these chaotic, frightening times? You’re not alone. At Post Carbon Institute and resilience.org we’ve heard from thousands of people around the world with big questions and great ideas.

On June 21, 2025 we’ll be hosting an online “open space” event for a small group of Resilience+ members.
The Great Unraveling of environmental and social systems calls into question the very basis of modernity.
