From Community Building to Civilization Design: Architecting the Future with Maruxa Murphy
In this soulful and provocative episode of Catalyzing Radical Systemic Change, host Alistair Langer is joined by Maruxa Murphy, founder of Revolutionary Communities, to explore what it really takes to move from building communities to designing whole civilizations.
With over 250+ communities shaped across the globe, Maruxa shares how her multicultural upbringing and lived experience of otherness shaped her calling: community as ministry, and belonging as survival. She walks us through her evolution—from being offered Facebook’s Head of Community role to instead choosing to steward regenerative futures rooted in love, reciprocity, and transformation.
