Hello Heartlanders. Just noticed you in my group invitations. Looks like a GREAT project just getting started. Hoping to watch it grow and grow. I'm someone that seems to be about the "waking up and seeing it all with new eyes" side of this movement. I write about it on facebook, have my own website at http://www.widea...wakeliving.com with a free monthly newsletter, have one published book out (Life Beyond Belief, Everyday Living as Spiritual Practice) and one on the way. Glad to find Heartland.
Blessings, Alice GardnerRead More

"The Death of 'Why?': The Decline of Questioning and the Future of Democracy"
with Andrea Batista Schlesinger, Executive Director, Drum Major Institute for Public Policy (DMI)
Founded during the civil rights movement, DMI is a non-partisan think tank providing ideas that fu...el the progressive movement. Andrea weighs in regularly on pressing policy debates in places from The Nation to CNN’s Lou Dobbs, and has been profiled by the New York Times and the New Yorker for her activism. She currently serves as a policy advisor on the re-election campaign of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Obsessed with answers, Americans have lost sight of the power and value of questions. In this time of economic crisis, how we understand our biggest concerns and problems will benefit greatly from a return to inquiry. “We spend hours every day, among people with whom we agree,” Andrea writes. “We have to send the message that this journey of asking questions, of exploration, is as important as where we end up.”
In The Death of “Why?” Andrea offers a passionate defense of the role of questioning. She argues that deliberation fueled by skepticism and curiosity should guide our democracy and educational system today. Our resilience depends on our ability to struggle with what we don’t know—to live and think outside comfortable bubbles of sameness and ideological homogeneity.Read More
