This series by Dahr Jamail and Barbara Cecil is the best of the best re being in heartful action in the face of radical acceptance of overshoot and impending collapse on multiple fronts. I consider these essays to be the heart and soul of, what I'm calling, "The Human Redemption Project" -- i.e., how we can participate in the "redemption" of our species within the body of Life, whether we have 5 years, 500 years, or 5 million years left before we go extinct and pass the baton onto another of God's beloved species.

215 / Transitions / Barbara Cecil + Dahr Jamail

Michael Dowd died October 2023. This soundcloud list is a substantial part of his legacy. Here he shares, via his voice, the major books, blogs, and other texts that instructed his own worldview shift into recognizing the multiple causes of the civilizational collapse underway and wisdom for moving into a postdoom perspective of clarity, calm, and compassionate love-in-action. As a Postdoom pastor, Michael aimed to support others in deeply adapting to abrupt climate change and societal and ecological breakdowns.
