The Transition Activism Intensive
with
Charles Eisenstein
narrator of the viral video “Occupy Wall Street – The Revolution is Love”
in Berkeley
Saturday, December 17, 2011 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Join Charles Eisenstein in an experiential journey of aligning with the transition and being an active change agent without “trying hard.”
Our society is entering a time of profound transformation. Crises in the economy, the ecosystem, health, education, water, energy, and more are propelling our civilization toward a radically different way of living on planet earth. Such conditions call for a new kind of leader, and even a whole new paradigm of leadership. At stake are the deep questions: “Who are we?” “What are we here to create?” “What is the role of humanity on earth, and how may I contribute to it?”
Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and the author
of numerous works, including The Ascent of Humanity, and most recently, Sacred Economics. His writing focuses on themes of holistic health, consciousness, economics, and civilization. His writings on the web magazine Reality Sandwich have generated a vast online following; he speaks frequently at conferences and other events, and gives numerous interviews on radio and podcasts. A Yale graduate in philosophy and mathematics, Mr. Eisenstein has served on faculty at Penn State’s Department of Science, Technology, and Society, and is currently on the faculty of Goddard College’s Health

In this gathering we will explore, in concept and in practice:
• What does leadership mean in a non-hierarchical setting?
• Our unique historical moment: from separation to connection.
• The psychodynamics of transition (personal, organizational, planetary).
• The rebirth of community.
• Leadership in an age of social and ecological healing.
• A leader: “One who creates opportunities for others to express their gifts.”
• A leader: “One who holds the story of what-is-to-be.”
