Hello,
welcome to the website that's by, for and about the Cultural Creatives.
As of the year 2000, there are 50 million adults in the United States
who have the worldview, values and lifestyle of the Cultural Creatives.
(There are probably about 80-90 million Cultural Creatives in the European
Union as well.)

While
Cultural Creatives are a subculture, they lack one critical
ingredient in their lives: awareness of themselves as a whole people.
We call them the Cultural Creatives precisely because they are already
creating a new culture. If they could see how promising this creativity
is for all of us, if they could know how large their numbers are,
many things might follow. These optimistic, altruistic millions might
be willing to speak more frankly in public settings and act more directly
in shaping a new way of life for our time and the time ahead. They
might lead the way toward an Integral Culture. |
When we discovered the great promise of this new group, we set out to
hold up a mirror for them, so they could see themselves fully. We wrote
a popular book that tells their story: what their culture is like, who
they are as individuals and how they live, where they came from, and what
they're creating now. It's called The Cultural
Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World (Harmony, 2000).
The
purpose of this website is to give you more information about the Cultural
Creatives, including whether you are one. The story of the Cultural
Creatives is the story of a whole culture, so one option you'll have on
this site is to see the big picture. And it is also a personal story of
how people choose a new life path, leaving behind old values and beliefs,
picking and choosing their way to a new kind of life. You'll be able to
pick this personal option as well.
