*Charles Eisenstein, author of "Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and
Community in an Age of Transition" will be speaking on The More Beautiful
World Our Hearts Know is Possible.

This presentation explores the special historic moment of our times, the
transition to a world that works for all - and how we can participate in
it’s emergence.

Join us, for a challenging and inspiring exploration of the dynamics of
what Joanna Macy has called “The Great Turning”.

Civilization's transition mirrors that of many individuals: an old world
falls apart and eventually we step into a new. As that happens, much that
was once certain disintegrates, and our old ways of making choices and
effecting change become obsolete. Vast new possibilities arise, even
miraculous possibilities, yet we may also go through periods of loneliness
and doubt. Let us ground ourselves more solidly in the new world, so that
we may more fully believe -- and enact -- what we know in our hearts.

Charles Eisenstein is a gifted teacher, speaker, and writer focusing on
themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.
Eisenstein is the author of such seminal and provocative books as "Sacred
Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition" and "The
Ascent of Humanity: Civilization and the Human Sense of Self". His on-line
writings have generated a vast following; he speaks frequently at
conferences and other events, and gives numerous interviews on radio and
podcasts. David Korten, author of "When Corporations Rule the World",
called Eisenstein “one of the up-and-coming great minds of our time.”
Eisenstein graduated from Yale University in 1989 with a degree in
Mathematics and Philosophy, and spent the next ten years as a
Chinese-English translator. He currently lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
with his wife and three sons. For more information about Charles
Eisenstein, visit charleseisenstein.net.

Please distribute this announcement and Flyer to your colleagues,
coworkers, departmental listservs, friends, family, and anyone else you
think might be interested in learning about the concept of the commons and
how academic scholarship, community practice, and social engagement can
combine to create both social arrangements and resource-pools with the
power to sustain real communities, when faced with failures of the market
and the state.

In Commons Camaraderie,
Ryan
