A New Story for a New Economy
To Find Our Human Place in a Living Universe
New essay by David Korten

The underlying premise of this essay is simple and, for many of us, self-evident. We are living beings who survive and thrive only as responsible contributing members of a Living Earth Community. As our indigenous brothers and sisters have long recognized, Earth is our Sacred Mother. She births and nurtures us. We must love and care for her as she loves and cares for us. This truth has profound implications for how we organize the economies through which we obtain our means of living. This powerful essay is beautifully designed, complete with a discussion guide and David’s personal story behind the essay.

• “The Living Earth, and the Human Presence Upon It” with David Korten, Bill Twist & Steven Motenko
• “Sacred Activism” with Andrew Harvey, followed by “Creative Offering” with Kim Rosen
• “What Gives Me Hope” Special Video with Majora Carter, Frances Moore Lappe, Bill McKibben, Ashara Ekundayo, Randy Hayes, Michael Brune & John Robbins

YOU ARE THE NEXT WAVE OF SUSTAINABILITY!

The Spring of Sustainability will engage you fully in what world-renowned ecologist (and former Spring of Sustainability presenter) Joanna Macy calls, “The Great Turning . . . the essential adventure of our time: the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.”

It’s the expression of a world movement. We’ll go so far as to say it is the expression of the ideas and guidance from Planet Earth. And this next wave will be led by top ecologists, activists, visionaries, scientists, business leaders, sociologists, psychologists, indigenous wisdom-keepers, sustainability experts... and YOU.

FOR ALL LEVELS

Whatever your level of involvement in the green movement, The Spring of Sustainability can help you go to the next level – to help you discover the innovative solutions we need on this beautiful, ever-evolving planet.

If you’re new to environmental issues, it will help put you on the path to a more sustainable lifestyle. And if you work for a nonprofit, you’ll learn far more inspiring and practical skills to unleash your powerful human potential in a way that provides sustainable and interconnected answers to our global issues.

With guidance from the top experts in the world, there’s no way you can’t come away from The Spring of Sustainability deeply inspired, transformed – and part of the solution.

Please join us in taking sustainability to the next echelon – and help co-create a thriving planet that leaves a legacy of good for generations to come.
