Formed in 2019, we are a group of three artists all passionate about art and craft and the the difference it can make to support positive health and wellbeing. The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World is a nonfiction social sciences and sociology book by sociologist Paul H. It describes the three main categories of people in the Western world: the Moderns, the Traditionals, and the newly-emergent Cultural Creatives. Environmental impact of the textile industry is a global problem very much present in the media today.

You might liken this process to that of a caterpillar that feeds, then pupates in a hard, protective cocoon, is broken down, and finally through a metamorphosis, it emerges from the cocoon as a butterfly. Hey, the farthest-out cultural creatives don’t even have children, because of our concern about population growth. They seek careers which are fulfilling and provide meaningful contribution to their communities or the world at large.The book describes the history of various social, environmental and consciousness movements that sprang up in the 20th century, the changes that they helped bring about, the increasing role that Cultural Creatives have played in them, and the increasing interconnection and importance of these movements and worldviews.

This compelling book provides historical and detailed macroscopic overviews, interspersed with microscopic interviews with Cultural Creatives from many walks of life, and the fascinating and inspiring stories they each have to share. For instance, they enjoy modern zen-like home design aesthetics, active outdoor hobbies and artistic ventures. Don't be put off by the fact that this was published in 2001: What the authors have to say is even more important and relevant now in 2019, with the rise of Donald Trump, political populism and neoliberalism, the religious right; the newly-declared ecological and climate emergency; and the rise of the Extinction Rebellion movement and schoolgirl activist, Greta Thunberg. In Washington and on the Sunday morning news shows, politicians would certainly have strong opinions about what it all means, and pundits would be expressing their views with their usual certainty.

Recommended reading for anyone committed to holistic living by participating in the growing global spiritual movement. They see spirituality and love as a vital component of life and always look for the good qualities in all people. Success is a high priority, but they are being recruited to join the Cultural Creatives as they mature and realize that material success is not as satisfying anymore. Since 2000, she has also been a teacher of inner work that is, as you might have guessed, devoted to asking deep questions (the Diamond Approach to Spiritual Development®).
