"Responding To Our World In Transition"
an evening with Duane Elgin

The human community is moving into an unprecedented new phase as global "adversity trends" (climate change, energy shortages, and financial breakdowns) meet global "opportunity trends" (such as the communications revolution).  Duane will explore: how will life on the Earth be changed a generation from now and how can we make sense of what is going on?  What key challenges and opportunities can we expect both personal and collective, as we move through this time of local to global transition? What are the gifts that you can bring to this pivotal time?  The evening includes songs with the Sacred Web Singers.
