Transforming Environment from the Inside Out

PowerPoint by Dave Whitman

Climate change and the financial crisis are symptoms of an unsustainable world economy hitting planetary limits.

The necessary rapid transformation faces barriers deeply rooted in our psyche, values and institutions, requiring spiritual as well as scientific solutions. Rather than falling into a doomsday depression, we need to see the present chaos as an opportunity.

The Bahá'í concept of oneness enables an integrated perspective and a profound reconsideration of every dimension of our lives, society and environment. We can be empowered to provide spiritual and intellectual leadership to transform our personal lives, families, communities, nations and the emerging world society --from the inside out.

This is the second in a series of monthly video and discussion presentations in the Creating the Future series for 2010. Each will be held at the Baha’i Center, at 7:00 PM on the third Thursday of the month (except this one and October’s, which will be the fourth Thursday).

Our committee (so far) for this year is Ken Illingsworth, Dave Whitman, Sarva, and Hank Stone. Information or program suggestions: hstone@rochester.rr.com
