Our Wild Imaginations: Harvesting Wider Stories for Systems Change
Join CERES and Cornerstone for a wholesome and creative evening of storytelling with local legends and elders as we explore themes of Psyche, Ecology and Systems Theory. How can we engage with these subjects in a practical way in our lives? How can we come together and create a new story of our times that is rooted in joy, in our places and with each other?
THIS EVENT IS: live panel x art making x creative writing x community-dialogue
We’ll hear from 3 powerful Storytellers, sharing from their hearts and minds on how we might re-enchant our perceptions and practices for systems change.
We’ll hear from three skilled Storytellers, sharing their experiences of how we might re-engage our senses, and through them discover simple practices for systems change.
Our Host will help elucidate intersections, and together through drawing, note-taking and community dialogue, we will harvest a more inclusive narrative for our regenerative future.
How do we navigate the current and coming times with joy, integrity, and in community?
“I used to think that top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that thirty years of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation.” Gus Speth, US advisor on climate change
