DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nTHE GREAT TURNING:  FIVE CONSIDERATIONS\nPresentation and Discussion 
 with Greg Jan\n\nBuddhist ecophilosopher Joanna Macy calls the ecological 
 shift that’s currently underway “The Great Turning.”  After we 
 briefly discuss 3 dimensions of the Great Turning that Macy has identified, 
 we’ll explore other topics related to the emergence of the Great Turning 
 — these 5 topics in particular:\n\n1 — Maturity (from humanity as an 
 adolescent\n  to humanity as an adult)\n\n2 — Humility and Human 
 Limitations (illusions of progress\n  and inherent human flaws)\n\n3 — 
 Happiness (vs. economic growth — or “need vs. greed”)\n\n4 — 
 Grassroots Democracy (from prehistoric tribalism\n  to New England town 
 meetings, and beyond)\n\n5 — Love (love as an orientation of character,\n 
  love of all human beings, the Golden Rule, and more)\n\nFor inspiration, 
 Greg will bring short excerpts from some of the following books which he 
 will hand out for us to read:\n\nActive Hope and World as Lover, World as 
 Self, by Joanna Macy;\nAwakening Earth and Promise Ahead by Duane 
 Elgin;\nThe Great Turning by David Korten;\nCome Home, America by William
