Humanity Rises
How to create the future when the world is upside down
During the weekend of May 3-4, we kickstart our new season of program with a carefully curated slate of programming—- both live and on demand— all focused on the ideas into actions that you can apply where you are now.
We show our world as it is and what it could become when we adapt a holistic approach to dynamic system design.
The experience:
- Discover the root cause of most of our ongoing crises
- Learn how a new wave of improvements to the fundamental systems, services and policies are restoring health and prosperity in communities worldwide;
- Discover how possibility thinking when put into action can provide a healthier coexistence;
- Understand the smart city movement and how to bring this wisdom into your community;
- Find out how communities are restoring ecological and economic health to their communities through community owned, produced and distributed energy, food and circular systems and services
- Find ways to improve the quality of life through open collaboration and cooperation;
- Overcome misunderstandings and dogma that keep us trapped in an unhealthy viscous cycle of repeat performances
- Find out how you can work with us and with others through a restorative and innovative, interconnected and interdependent solutions news action network!
Who is this for?
- Ethical community leaders
- Architects and whole systems designers
- Media makers and earth shakers who are looking to advance the quality of life where they are and beyond through open collaboration and cooperation;
- Scientists and evolutionary biologists
And yes, there is more!
In order to maintain momentum, join us every Saturday as we advance and amplify the knowledge into action through our Weekly Media Exchanges.
Best of all, it’s free to take part, and the opportunities are immense!

Scientific thinker and author, Howard Bloom to reveal how a new and scientifically more-accurate perception of life and nature can bring us towards a more empowered, healthier and prosperous coexistence
Bloom to deliver closing addresses at “Transformed: How to create the future when the world is upside down, May 3-4.”
He’s been a career architect for hundreds of performing artists. His agency was the “go-to” for artists to launch and re-establish careers. But before tackling the careers of Prince, The Jacksons, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and organizations such as Amnesty International, Howard Bloom’s first passion was science.
According to Bloom:
“It is our your job and my job to create. We are here because of transformations, the transformation from a primal planet of upheaval and climate change to life. The transformation from single-celled life to multicellular life, to plants and animals. The transformation from the consciousness of animals to the consciousness of human beings. The transformation from humans equipped with stone tools and fire, to humans equipped with one hundred thousand generations of language, culture and technology. The transformation from humans greening and gardening one poison pill of stone to greening and gardening the galaxy.
Transformations demand imagination, persistence, and salesmanship. And the privilege of birthing the next great leaps into the future, the next great transformations, is yours and mine.
To empower you to see a better way forward, legendary career architect for Prince, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Billy Joel, Billy Idol, and Joan Jett and author of eight scientifically crucial books from “the Lucifer Principle: a Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History” to his new “The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong” Bloom will be sharing his insights with an international audience during the introduction of a revolutionary solutions platform, Mobilized News.
Howard will discuss the obstreperously flamboyant way that life has made change and what that lesson of outrageous transformation means for you and me at an unprecedented two-day online event, TRANSFORMED. TRANSFORMED will also be recorded for broadcast and a documentary.
In addition, appearing at TRANSFORMED will be leaders from the Buckminster Fuller Institute, the Smart Cities Council, Rethink X , What’s The Future For Smart Cities Podcast and many others.
TRANSFORMED will be free to attend. So will its ongoing follow-up conferences and weekly conversations.
Says Steven Jay, creator of this project, “People of the world have been seeking a platform that unites us towards new possibilities for people and the planet. We believe that we’ve created such a platform.”

The Breakdown — and the Opportunity
Why it matters:
Our systems are failing in real time—politics, media, and trust. The deepest crisis is informational. A well-informed public is the most valuable natural resource—and it’s being polluted by noise, spin, and pay-to-play distribution.
The big picture
- Outrage economics crowds out truth and context.
- Platforms throttle visibility; communities lose power.
- Real solutions exist—buried under clicks and chaos.
The shift
- From media monopoly → public commons.
- Evidence-based stories, open collaboration, civic action.
- Independent, community-owned distribution.
What we’re building
- Mobilized News: a participatory Public Media Commons.
- Systems-level journalism + community intelligence.
- Knowledge → Action: toolkits, hubs, local-to-global studios.
