Bring your networking materials. We will provide space to share them.

As we begin to face issues around sustainability, the tasks before us can seem overwhelming. Tonight we return to our regular format of evenings of dialogue around important topics. How we address troubling times is a vital topic, close to our hearts lately, and daunting us, as realistic global conditions are increasingly exposed. We will listen to a recent audio from Shift in Action Essential Series. Click on this link to listen to listen to it if you are a Shift in Action Partner.

We will also inquire into Elisabet Sahtouris article Seven Reasons Why I Remain an Optimist, which gives us 7 points to contemplate and discuss. Download the PDF at this link above to read the article. We will have focus questions and a conversation format for you, weaving it into a night of potluck, community and networking.

1. The Universe is alive and well.

2. We create our own reality and nature shows the way.

3. Youth have the unprecedented power to create the world they want.

4. When there is no money people are still achieving thier dreams.

5. Economies are beginning to be measured in quality of life.

6.We have to know how to shift to sustainable economies.

7. Global Warming can become our greatest peace process.

Come join us. Please note that Elisabet will be giving a workshop at Hollyhock, in British Columbia, Canada on Sept 15-20, entitled Living Systems: Key to a Thriving Future.
