The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity and the Renewal of Civilization
Thomas Homer-Dixon, new book

The Upside of Down sets out a theory of the growth, crisis, and
renewal of societies. Today's converging energy, environmental, and
political-economic stresses could cause a breakdown of national and
global order. Yet there are things we can do now to keep such a
breakdown from being catastrophic. And some kinds of breakdown could
even open up extraordinary opportunities for creative, bold reform of
our societies, if we're prepared to exploit these opportunities when
they arise. a review is linked from

Tue Jan 9 7-9:30pm • (free) Art of Authentic Communication FREE eve

The Art of Authentic Communication Evening
This engaging evening offers basic Authentic Communication tools that
help participants deeply transform their lives, and help them discover
their true voice!

The Art of Authentic Communication

Communication impacts every relationship in our lives: our work
relationships, our friendships, our intimate relationships, and our
relationship with ourselves. By understanding the art of authentic
communication, we can learn to shift from disconnection and conflict,
to greater understanding, collaboration, and fulfillment. Through this
understanding we can find the thriving lives and relationships we are
hungering for, and be the change we wish to see in the world.

- Matthew Blom and Karl Steyaert
Instructors of The Art of Authentic Communication

Here's just a portion of what you'll learn:

• Four powerful steps to communicating more effectively at home, work,
or school

• One word that makes life miserable for everyone

• How to free yourself from taking things personally

• How to bring compassion and peace to your daily interactions while
simultaneously getting more of what you want

According to Einstein, "No problem can be solved from the same level
of consciousness that created it." The information in this course
offers key insights into a new level of consciousness, one which
thousands of people have found extremely powerful.

Instructors:

Matthew Blom's passion is working with individuals and groups in
transforming conflict into collaboration. A graduate of the Bay Area
Nonviolent Communication year-long leadership program, Matthew is a
professional mediator helping parties in conflict find peaceful,
enjoyable solutions for all. In addition, he has facilitated groups of
up to 300 people in Open Space Technology, including The National
Conference for Dialogue and Deliberation and the US Project Speaking
Peace conference. Drawing on a degree in education, and years of
teaching abroad in S. Korea, Thailand, India, Nepal, and Ethiopia,
Matthew's mission is to help everyone he meets to find a more direct,
joyful path to their visions.

Karl Steyaert (M.A., M.S.) enjoys supporting people to live in ways
that are collaborative, sustainable, joyful, and authentic. Having
completed multiple intensive trainings with Nonviolent Communication
(NVC) founder Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, Karl has more than ten years
experience teaching communication and community building skills,
across North America and oversees. Until 2005, he developed and taught
education programs at the Findhorn Foundation, an internationally
renowned holistic education and retreat center in Scotland. His formal
education has included Master's degrees in Anthropology and Natural
Resources Policy, as well as extensive training in aikido (a
nonviolent Japanese martial art) and Buddhist meditation.

Here is some of what Blom and Steyaert's students have shared:

"Two days after attending the workshop, I had an absolutely
transformative conversation with my two roommates. We had beautiful
conversations that brought us closer together. For the first time, we
heard each other with compassion and from that place made some
agreements that have been working fabulously. Thank you, thank you,
thank you!"
-Jennifer

"I just wanted to let you know that I used what I'd learned with the
woman I had processed about with you, we had a long phone talk, and my
new "skills" worked beautifully. Thank you!
- Sarah

"The only way I can think of in which it could have been improved
would have been for the workshop to go on for much longer, as I
enjoyed it so much."
- Martina

"The relief of connecting through the heart is immense and
life-enhancing. Thank you!"
- Brian

Through an exciting collaboration with New College, UAS will be hosting a mix of insightful films, documentaries and commentaries on the second Thursday of each month, from 6 to 9:00pm. Local organizations working on the UAS sustainability theme of the month will be featured and the movie will be followed by an engaging, solutions-oriented discussion with the audience. What's more, the conversation will continue into the night a few doors down at ELIXIR, who are graciously offering green movie night attendees $1 off any organic beer, wine or mixed drink with ticket stub http://www.elixirsf.com

UAS thanks SOMA Creativity Center for a wonderful 2006 Green Movie Night series filled with inspiration, stimulation and community.

ABOUT THE FILM

Kilowatt Ours Reveals the Consequences of Our Coal Powered Economy.

The film opens with Vice President Dick Cheney's energy policy speech in which Cheney makes the claim that America needs nearly 1900 new power plants in the next 20 years to meet projected electricity demands.

From here, filmmaker Jeff Barrie takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers solutions to America's energy related problems.

Human Be-In 40th - Sunday January 14, 2007

Hello Friends,

Just a thought here: were we revved up for a January Digital Be-In, I suppose we would be doing it this Saturday in conjunction with Sunday's 40th Anniversary of the Human Be-In.

The first true public Digital Be-In was #4, held on January 14, 1992, which was the exact date of the 25th Anniversary of the Human Be-In, and this was the event that literally took on the legacy of the Human Be-In, at least as far as it related to the digital media revolution. Timothy Leary, Allen Cohen and Chet Helms, key conspirers of the Human Be-In, were all involved with our cyberculture event from that point on.

Originally held in January in conjunction with Macworld Exposition, last year the 14th Digital Be-In was held for the first time on Earth Day, April 22, 2006, with the theme Planet Code (see
http://www.be-in.com We are tentatively scheduled for Earth Day again this year.

But there is no major event planned this weekend to commemorate the potent “Gathering of the Tribes” that seems in retrospect to have been a “trimtab” shift in personal/social consciousness that led to major shifts of all kinds through the unfolding Summer of Love across the planet. There is a small event happening Tuesday in (a Q&A with SF Chronicle music reviewer Joel Selvin; see below), which I plan to attend and offer some video footage of the Human Be-In (as part of a 10th Anniversary DVD of 1997’s Digital Be-In 9).

Maybe we should all just show up at the Polo Fields Sunday at Golden Gate Park? And/or Ocean Beach... After all, its been 40 years and the Be-In vibe and ideas live on in our distributed network of events like the Digital Be-In, Burning Man, Earthdance, etc. The Human Be-In was on a Sunday too. Pretty cool.

Perhaps something will emerge....

In any event, 2007 promises to be quite magical indeed!

Happy New Light Goz PS -
Here’s a reasonable overview of the Human Be-In on WIKIpedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Be-In -
and an article I wrote about the Digital Be-In in 2004:

“Turn On, Intertune In, Shine Out!”

The Gathering of the Tribes and Summer of Love Be-In
Tuesday, January 9, 2007
With Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle Senior Pop Music Critic

Kanbar Hall
Jewish Community Center of San Francisco
3200 California Street at Presidio Avenue

Dig out the tie-dyed tee-shirts from the back of your closet, put some flowers in your hair and join us for Joel Selvin’s insights on The Gathering of the Tribes and Summer of Love Be-In.

Joel Selvin has been providing his San Francisco Chronicle readers with fascinating accounts of the Bay Area music scene for the past 30 years. Who better to tell us of the heady flower power days of the Haight-Ashbury when San Francisco was the center of the Beat Generation?

On January 14, 1967, 20,000 youngsters of all ages made a pilgrimage to Golden Gate Park for the Gathering of the Tribes for the Human Be-in. It was a seminal event that presaged The Summer of Love. What was this event? Why did it happen? Why was it impor tant? And what was its role in creating the era we call the Sixties?

To answer these questions, Joel Selvin will be our host for a special night of conversation and reminiscence over the figures that shaped the culture, music and events of 1960s San Francisco. Joel is the author of Summer of Love and has covered pop music for The Chronicle since 1970.

Please join us for a reception at 7:00 PM.
