With the whole world literally between them, Chris and Susan touch upon a wide range of topics important to those who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s. Sharing stories and experiences they had growing up, discuss the Big Bang, Thomas Berry, Gaian Economics, Deep Ecology, Woodstock, the Grateful Dead, Human Creativity, Systems Thinking, the Quantum Field and Thich Nhat Hanh's understanding of Inter-being.

Most importantly, what can all of us do NOW to evolve Human Cultures and Consciousness, to dismantle and transform dysfunctional systems, passing on to young people the sacred VISION of peace, love, joy and creative freedom that millions of us still hold in our hearts?
