Starhawk: City of Refuge Book Talk
What Would It Look Like if We Won? Fiction, Prophecy and Strategy
How can we create the new world-that non-hierarchical, socially just, ecologically balanced and beautifully diverse world we long for-unless we can first imagine it? Speculative fiction allows us to envision that world in detail, to anticipate its workings and challenges, and bring it alive in our collective imagination. And fiction can serve as an extended thought-experiment to explore strategies for getting there. Starhawk draws from her futuristic novel, The Fifth Sacred Thing, and its sequel, her new book City of Refuge, to spark discussion on how to shift cynicism and despair into empowerment and engagement.
This event is a fundraiser for Earth Activist Training scholarships. Learn more from graduates Suraya Arslan, Ellen Farmer, and Coleen Douglas -- you can sign up for Rowe, Massachusetts (June 5-19), and Northern Spain (August 14-28).
