For the Hippie in all of us!

Hi folks,

I apologize for the late notice, but I hope that you will come to the following talk I am giving with my friend Stacia tomorrow night (Thursday). The talk will be followed by an open discussion and forum on the current global situation, keeping in mind New Orleans as well as the current French riots, envisioning new forms of community organization to cope with accelerating breakdowns. I will also discuss the Evolver Project, a new community membership and media company (formerly Metacine), that I have co-founded, with the first issue of Evolver magazine launching in January.

Hope to see you there!

Daniel

The Life, Death, Rebirth Cycle in Individuals and Society

Daniel Pinchbeck will offer an analysis of current events, including the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and open the possibility that we are passing through a death and rebirth passage in our own culture. He will suggest this is a natural process, as well as an apocalyptic transition, leading to a new model of individual responsibility and a new civilization based on compassionate action that must be supported by new social institutions. Holotropic Breathwork facilitator Stacia Butterfield will discuss Stan Grof’s work on the holotropic model of the psyche and the life, death, rebirth cycle, as it is reflected in his study of non-ordinary states of consciousness in which his subjects reexperience aspects of their birth traumas.

An open discussion of these issues will follow.
