Liberating Wealth in Prophetic Times

We are living through prophetic times—what some call the metacrisis, others name as a rupture, others see as an opening. What does it mean to navigate this moment with wisdom? And what role does wealth play in this transition? This panel brings together cosmologists, system architects, scholars, and funder-activists, and was a public panel presented at the end of private retreat where they explored together: How do we make sense of where we are and what is being asked of us in these times? What is the role of wealth holders and funders in this time of unraveling? How might wealth be liberated from extractive systems and reoriented toward life-affirming transitions?
