At its heart, Ruben’s message is hopeful and transformational.  He challenges those with whom he works not only to raise their game, but to learn to see, embrace and cooperate with the long transformation we are in – the transition of our Modern Techno-industrial cultures into new and more promising co-creative ways of living.  His vision of an emerging Co-creative civilization offers a basis for the hope that lies the other side of despair.
