*This program is hosted by our partner, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.*
Our current context has been described as a polycrisis - a “larger kind of instability… or ... disequilibrium” caused by “[d]ozens of environmental, social, technological, and economic stressors . . . interacting with increasing velocity. Their combined impact is causing unpredictable future shocks of greater intensity.”
In her book, When No Thing Works: A Zen and Indigenous Perspective on Resilience, Shared Purpose, and Leadership in the Timeplace of Collapse, Zen master and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Norma Wong describes this time as an era of collective acceleration, where the swiftly moving current, fed and shaped by human actions, sweeps us toward ever uncertain futures. In her book and in her work, Norma invites us not only to imagine, but to live into, a story beyond crisis and collapse.
