The Great Turning: Towards a Just & Sustainable World - an evening with David Korten

David Korten, internationally renowned economist will speak, followed by a panel discussion with Bruce Campbell of the CCPA, Tony Clarke of the Polaris Institute and Kathy Vandergrift of CPJ. The evening will be moderated by Laurie Fagan of CBC radio Ottawa.    David Korten is a former Harvard Business School Professor and author of Agenda for a New Economy, in which he sets forth a framework for an economy designed to bring humans into balance with the earth's biosphere, and to make democracy a living practice. "We can change the human course by changing the framing stories of our dominant culture. The prevailing Empire stories celebrate the individualism, violence and greed that express the pathologies of our collective human immaturity, while denying the potentials for community, love, and nurturing service that define our more mature human nature. The turning from Empire to Earth Community depends on changing these stories through conversations that make public the transformative inner wisdom we posses as individuals. Institutional change will follow naturally".       More information on the evening and the Saturday workshop, as well as online tickets tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door and available at Octopus Books, and offices of the sponsoring groups Polaris Institute CCPA Council of Canadians CPJ Kairos
