Barbara Marx Hubbard

Barbara Marx Hubbard

Buckminster Fuller said of Barbara Marx Hubbard, “She is the best informed human now alive regarding Futurism.” A noted author, futurist, citizen diplomat, and social architect, Barbara is at the forefront of an emergent ‘post-conventional’ worldview that is unleashing evolutionary forces embodying intensified creativity, deepening spirituality and environmental systems awareness. Barbara calls this worldview ‘Conscious Evolution,’ and is actually codifying it into a cohesive social potential movement. Daughter of toy tycoon Louis Marx, she graduated from ‘Bryn Mawr College’ (cum Laude with a B.A. in Political Science), and studied at ‘L’Ecole des Sciences Politique’ and the prestigious ‘Sorbonne’ in Paris, before becoming involved in the 1960s social movements desiring a more sustainable Earth. Many people regard her as an heir to Buckminster Fuller. In 1966, Barbara was a founding member of the “World Future Society.’ In the 1970s, Barbara organized and co-produced twenty-five ‘Syncons’ (’synergistic conferences’), and the multimedia ‘Theatre For The Future.’ In 1984, Barbara made political history when her name was placed in nomination for the Vice Presidency of the US. During the 1980s, she developed and co-chaired a number of US-Soviet Citizen Summits and hosted ‘Potentials: Envisioning the New Millennium,’ a stunning television series and in 1992 co-founded the ‘Foundation for Conscious Evolution’. She has written numerous books and articles addressing the potential of humanity to co-create a world that works for everyone.
