for those of you who are in NYC - jan 12 event! (and more)
A message from Melissa Ennen, the wonderful host of our ‘We Co-Create’ workshop series in Brooklyn:
Tuesday Talks with Andrew Faust, one of NY’s most stimulating permaculture speakers
Jan. 12: Decadence vs. Abundance: A Brief Ecological History of America and the World
Come learn what history has taught us about how to create ecological economies and increase natural capital. Democratic economies make more dollars and sense for most people; we just have to put public needs and desires before private profits.
Jan 26: Ecological Literacy vs. Environmental Education
We need to shift our worldview: to reconnect humanity to our proper role as caretaker of planet earth; to embrace our responsibility for the well-being of each other and the entire web of life. We therefore need a whole new philosophy of education.
Feb 2: Health and Longevity: Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves
Come hear about a holistic view of health that directly connects people’s personal well-being with the health of their local landscapes and environment.
6 to 8 p.m.
