[Editors note 2022: I’ve come to see Eisenstein’s thinking as deeply flawed listen to this podcast for what I agree are many of the problems with his work]
Passing along what looks like a really cool event:
Charles Eisenstein — visionary, philosopher, social critic, and author is speaking Holy Nativity Episcopal Church on Saturday, March 21 at 6:00 P.M. Charles is giving a talk based on his latest book, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. In it, he sagely describes the emotional, social, civilization-wide “between” that we’re in right now. It’s the space between the old — worn-out, flawed, unfulfilling, and unfulfillable — story of what society and humanity is about and the new story of interconnection.
The talk will be preceded by a vegetarian potluck dinner at 5:00 P.M. in the Community Hall. There are “real/reusable” dishes and utensils as well as cloth napkins. Please help make this a zero-waste event.
In keeping with Charles’s “gift economy” concept, in lieu of an “entrance fee,” we ask that you donate a value equal to what this talk is worth to you. That might be $10 or $20 or $100. All funds will go to support Charles’s ongoing work.
You don’t want to miss this important event.
Holy Nativity is located at:
6700 West 83rd Street
Los Angeles, CA 90045
I can’t help but feel awkward when I see a self proclaimed “visionary” or “genius” promoting himself (now is it the case? I don’t know). If the “sagely” description promess is a true way of living, then it should be mirrored in the advertisement of the event.
I would have definetly gone, too bad I will be out of town. Please keep us updated on more functions like this
