Charles Eisenstein
by Adrian
In this gathering, Charles Eisenstein draws out the profound implications of the Living Planet paradigm. He will discuss the limits of carbon accountancy, offering a holistic alternative that vastly broadens the scope of urgency, action, and hope. Shall we participate in a living Earth or a dying Earth?

Our perceptions shape our stories, our solutions, and our world. When our narratives and assumptions are unquestioned, we end up weaving threads of the problem into the changes we want to make. To exit these well-worn ruts…we must somehow see and question assumptions that we may not even be aware of. In other words, we need to “clear the field” on a personal level and a social-political level. We need to “unlearn” the things we assume we know.

Science & Non-Duality (SAND) Conference Description
For scientists, bonds and connections are essential to the working of the universe; for mystics, love is the ultimate principle. From the depths of physics to the delights of being human, relationships make life possible.
The mechanistic view of reality which sees the world as separate objects, separate individuals, communities and nations, has led to fragmentation in every aspect of life. We are now realizing that, from quarks to people, from gut bacteria to galaxies, it’s all about interconnectedness, cooperation, and symbiosis.
This year, SAND will be bringing together some of the brightest minds in science, along with spiritual teachers from various traditions and artists, in a quest to expand and deepen our understanding and experience of our relational nature through the two lenses of science and spirituality. We will explore and integrate our human knowledge and experience around the theme of relationships. We will inquire into the many scales of relationship we are part of, from microbes and bacteria to mushrooms and trees, to people and families, to galaxies and black holes.
At the end of the day, no matter how complex the field of study becomes, the innate intelligence and reflective nature of the universe shines through. Love is what breathes life into the equations; Love is the field in which the quarks and human beings relate.
We will meet you there.

The Trap of Being Right
There is a special area of the Matrix reserved for people who think they have exited the Matrix. The answers to metaphysical questions—and indeed political questions, personal questions—are usually less important than the process that the question launches. Here we will explore the power of the question and the power of not-knowing, with special reference to science, politics, the maintenance of consensus reality, and the moments when love shines through.

The Guardian at the Threshold
What stands in the way to attain a higher level of creativity and effectiveness in service to Gaia? Many of us can sense a next step, and feel the desire to up our game. To get there, something will be gained and something will be lost. In this gathering, we will initiate and accelerate that process.

I will be giving the following talk on Saturday at the upcoming Institute of Noetic Sciences 2019 International Conference.
Eco-healing: A Lovers’ Reunion
Today’s ecological crisis can be understood as the inevitable terminus of an age-old story of separation. Just as the extreme of yang gives birth to yin, so it is that the most iconic achievement of civilization – space travel – was a watershed moment in the recovery of ecological consciousness. This lecture will weave this thread into the tapestry of a new story, and a new-and-ancient relationship to Earth, that poses humanity with an initiatory choice today.
From the presenters:
“We will be gathering on the 50th anniversary of the first moonwalk, to explore what is possible for humanity when we bring science, spirituality, and social change together to vision and co-create a thriving future. Hear the latest science in consciousness and extraordinary human capacities, engage with innovative technology and healing arts, and connect with a passionate global community. Four days of mind expanding science, heart-opening experience, and deep transformation.”
Some other presenters this year include:
Deepak Chopra: world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation
Ervin Laszlo: Philosopher, author, and Nobel Prize Nominee
Dan Siegel: Founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA
Shamani Jane: President and CEO of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI)
John a. Powell: Director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley
Dean Radin: IONS Chief Scientist, author, and distinguished professor
Pat McCabe: Writer, Artists, and Speaker on Indigenous Ways of Knowing/Science for Thriving Life
Rupert Sheldrake: Biologist and renowned author
Cassandra Vieten: IONS President, mind-body medicine researcher, and author

What is the biggest threat to humanity and the planet today? Charles Eisenstein presents a radical take on this question that subverts both the dominant narrative of global warming, as well as the narrative of the skeptics. Moving beyond the conventional framing of the ecological crisis, he recasts it through the “Living Earth” paradigm, opening the door to a deeper ecological consciousness that is part of humanity’s initiation into a new role on Earth.
