DESCRIPTION:Now more than ever the world calls out for a radical paradigm shift in our 
 collective thinking. These inspired leaders and activists are at the 
 forefront of this push for change. \n\nThe lecture and workshop will weave 
 together strands of diverse experiences, aiming at different ways to 
 realize the possibilities of democracy in America, a theme that has 
 occupied the lifework of these three scholars. Vincent Harding describes 
 his vision of deepening the American dream as a task of maturing and honing 
 this nation's capacity for becoming "the land that never has been yet." 
 Susan Griffin and Don Hanlon Johnson have described the American dream as 
 the intense struggle of developing a truly egalitarian sensibility, a 
 quality whose attainment is not easily realized. As our nation faces the 
 challenges of an election year, join these three thinkers for discussion 
 and reflection on "wrestling with the angel of democracy."\n\nVincent 
 Harding, PhD, is professor emeritus of Religion and Social Transformation 
 at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He is founder and 
 chairperson of the Veterans of Hope Project which he and his late wife, 
 Rosemarie, began in 1997. Harding is the author of many books, and 
 collaborated in the past as a friend and coworker with Martin Luther King, 
 Jr.\n\nDon Hanlon Johnson, PhD, is the founder of the Somatic Psychology 
 Program at CIIS where he is a professor. His lifetime of writing and 
 teaching has been focused on the role the body plays in social 
 transformation. His latest book is Everyday Hopes, Utopian Dreams: 
 Reflections on American Ideals.\n\nSusan Griffin is a well-known writer and 
 poet. Her latest book, Wrestling with the Angel of Democracy: On Being an 
 American Citizen, is about the inner life of democracy. She has published 
 19 books, including Woman and Nature, a classic work that inspired 
 ecofeminism, published in a new edition by Sierra Club Books in 2000.\n
