A discussion about the crisis and opportunity we face individually and globally, culturally and spiritually in our ecological environments.

In February 2022, the revised edition of Duane Elgin’s Nautilus Award-Winning book Choosing Earth was released. Since the publication of the original edition in 2020, Duane has made significant updates in the text regarding the path and pace of the current climate destabilization, shifting of societal structures, and global transformation.“The dynamic nature of ‘collapse’ reveals a key question: Will the people of the Earth be willing to truly step up and halt the breakdown of the biosphere before the planet becomes completely uninhabitable?” – Duane ElginWith 50 years of experience as a researcher and visionary futurist, Duane offers a clear vision of the choices we have as human beings facing a future of global and climate change, breakdown and collapse. In Choosing Earth: Humanity’s Journey of Initiation Through Breakdown and Collapse to Mature Planetary Community, he explicitly calls forth and offers guidance for a response of “visionary optimism and unflinching realism.” Film-maker Coleen LeDrew Elgin’s most recent film Facing Adversity: Choosing Earth, Choosing Life explores the speed, depth and magnitude of our growing planetary crisis, and the opportunity we have to meet this crisis consciously – with eyes and hearts wide open.For over 30 years, Duane and Coleen have dedicated their lives to mapping cultural trends, researching scientific data, and educating people about the trajectories of our choices of attention and action.Join us for a discussion about the crisis and the opportunity that we are facing individually and globally, culturally and spiritually in the ecological environments of our material, natural and relational worlds.We invite you to bring your questions, curiosity, and willingness to explore possibilities of decision-making, action, and way-of-being to this important and, perhaps, life-changing conversation.
