How does the movement to a Universal Basic Income fit in as a step in this direction? Backcasting to PROUT... from a New Economy framework perspective. How can the PROUT framework inform and inspire the movement to an ecosystem that is prefigured in smaller, connected, grassroots, P2P transnational communities. Or is there a pathway forward with some revolutionary party led by some tremendous personalities essentially emerging from the existing system? Yoganomics is discussed. Yoga as union. Yoga as internal mastery, evidence based spirituality, service to Life moving beyond Yoga's reduction to physical postures for physical health.

Dr Sandra Bloom is an American mental health activist, psychiatrist, and associate professor of health management and policy at Drexel University. She is the creator of the "Sanctuary Model" of therapeutic care which is now a prevalent approach to mental health in the USA, Australia, and around the world. "A traumatic experience impacts the entire person – the way we think, the way we learn, the way we remember things, the way we feel about ourselves, the way we feel about other people, and the way we make sense of the world..." The Sanctuary Model is an approach to mental health care which promotes safety and recovery from adversity through the active creation of a trauma-informed community. A recognition that trauma is pervasive in the experience of human beings forms the basis for the Sanctuary Model's focus not only on the people who seek treatment, but equally on the people and systems who provide that treatment. Karun Cowper spoke to Dr Bloom about the unfolding paradigm shift in our understanding and treatment of mental health toward "trauma informed care" as embodied in models such as the Sanctuary Model and also about the importance of political activism to challenge powerful interests that create trauma in the first place.
