More information on Mike Nickerson's Talk:
If personal security is threatened by an economic crisis with undertones of the climate and energy issues, what does it all mean for the children and grandchildren?
While humans are a gifted creature, finding our way out of the present situation requires that we acknowledge how the world has changed. As Einstein
aptly stated: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
For forty years, Mike Nickerson has been studying the problems and solutions of our times. His study, from outside of institutional molds, reveals how societies
change. Nickerson will facilitate a discussion based on his book "Life, Money & Illusion; Living on Earth as if we want to stay."
In his book, Nickerson explores the implications of attempting perpetual growth on our finite planet. He also outlines ways in which we can adapt to what he
calls the maturation of the human species. "There is a time for growing and there is a time for mature responsibility," he says. "The human family is at the
threshold of a new era and we are feeling adolescent angst as we pine for the carefree growth of childhood."
In the same ways that life doesn't end with individual maturity, there are vast opportunities awaiting a post-growth society. To come of age as a society,
however, we have to deal with the "growth hormone" that makes the economy ill when it is not expanding. The first step is to choose between the goal
of long-term well-being and that of perpetual expansion. It is a Question of Direction.
Come, join us for a presentation and discussion about how we could recreate mutual provision (the economy) in a way that can provide for countless
generations to come.

More Information on Tara Mae Hillyer's Talk:
Our behavior and belief systems continue to disconnect ourselves from each other and from the natural environment which we live in and depend on. It is
time for each and every individual to remember who we are, why we are here and that we have the power to enact the change we are
so desperate for. Disease, mental illness, health problems, pain, anxiety, depression and issues of our physical bodies all stem from the same source.
So many of us want to find the magic cure to our physical and mental health problems. There are answers to your questions, and questions to your answers...
If you are interested in learning how to heal yourself and the world around you, come out to this free seminar and learn to shift your perceptions and open
your eyes to a reality that exists just below the surface of the conditioned lives we live.
