Joanna Macy: Taking Heart in Tough Times, Do the Work that Reconnects
Berkeley Fellowship of UUs
Berkeley, CA
The Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists and Joanna Macy invite you to participate in a conversation and workshop about The Great Turning of Our Time. Take action to be part of the Shift from an Industrial Growth Society to a Life-Sustaining Civilization by Doing the Work that Reconnects.
The ecological and social crises we face are caused by an economic system dependent on accelerating growth. This self-destructing political economy sets its goals and measures its performance in terms of ever-increasing corporate profits--in other words by how fast materials can be extracted from Earth and turned into consumer products, weapons, and waste.
A revolution is underway because people are realizing that our needs can be met without destroying our world. We have the technical knowledge, the communication tools, and material resources to grow enough food, ensure clean air and water, and meet rational energy needs. Future generations will look back at the epochal transition we are making to a life-sustaining society. And they may well call this the time of the Great Turning.
It is happening now.
And it is gaining momentum, through the actions of countless individuals and groups around the world. To see this as the larger context of our lives clears our vision and summons our courage.
Join us for this inspiring program and workshop that will move you towards greater clarity and action.
Note: Lunch is included. Please be sure to include your e-mail address in your registration so we can send your pre-workshop message.
