Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris is an internationally known evolutionary biologist, futurist, author and consultant on living systems design.

Elisabet has been a tireless advocate — through her writing and through her speaking to government, business, and scientific leaders at conferences around the world — of the urgent need for humanity to change our story about ourselves and our world. The old story, which is the older Western scientific view of the world as a complex machine and humans as detached observers and consumers governed by logic of Darwinian survival, has brought our planet to the crisis we face today. The newer story, of an emerging scientific world view that encompasses economy and ecology, ancient wisdom and contemporary scientific understanding, of humans as co-creators in a living universe, offers the opportunity for a global course-change. She calls this new world-view Ecosophy.
