Embercombe is a charity and social enterprise established \nto champion a way of living that celebrates the opportunities inherent in this \nchallenging time and that inspires people to energetically contribute towards \nthe emergence of a socially just, environmentally sustainable and spiritually \nfulfilling human presence on earth.\n\nIt is our view that humanity now stands at a cross-roads - \na defining time in which we will make choices that will greatly influence our \ncollective future, for better or worse. We have become so numerous, so \nindustrious, so ambitious, and so technologically powerful, that we have the \ncapacity to orchestrate the destruction of our species, habitat, and future. We \nalso possess the imagination, the vision, and the intellect to learn from \nexperience, meet our challenges, and build a positive, sustainable future. A \nradical shift in awareness, values, and behaviour is required to meet this \ncritical transition.
