DESCRIPTION:  BEYOND OIL II  TOOLS FOR THOUGHT, THOUGHTS FOR CHANGE  Celebrated 
 authors, Joanna Macy and Richard Heinberg, headline an evening presented by 
 the East Bay Post Carbon Solutions Group, Beyond Oil II, on June 14, 2005 
 at 7PM at the First Congregational Church, 2501 Harrison Street in Oakland. 
  This evening of conversation will give our community the tools to better 
 understand how to begin preparing for a time of energy scarcity and climate 
 change.  In the context of what she calls “the Great Turning,” Joanna 
 will speak about awakening to the reality of climate change and the 
 depletion of oil resources, thereby moving from denial into action.  
 Richard’s presentation will be actual practice for the awakening Joanna 
 describes.  He will report back from the 4th Annual Conference of the 
 Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) in Lisbon.  He will also 
 discuss practical steps we can take now in our own communities to prepare 
 for these changes.  Eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, Ph.D. 
 (http://www.joannamacy.net), scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory, 
 and deep ecology, is also a leading voice in movements for peace, justice, 
 and a safe environment.  Her wide-ranging work addresses psychological and 
 spiritual issues of the nuclear age, the cultivation of ecological 
 awareness, and the fruitful resonance between Buddhist thought and 
 contemporary science.  She serves as adjunct professor to the Starr King 
 School for the Ministry, the University of Creation Spirituality, and the 
 California Institute of Integral Studies.  Among other works, she is the 
 author of Coming Back to Life: Practices to Reconnect Our Lives, Our 
 World.   Richard Heinberg (http://www.museletter.com), journalist and 
 lecturer, is a core faculty member of New College of California, where he 
 teaches courses on Energy and Society, and Culture, Ecology and Sustainable 
 Community.  His monthly MuseLetter has been nominated for an Alternative 
 Press Award, he has been published in many journals, and his books have 
 been translated into eight languages.  Richard travels internationally to 
 speak on the subject of Peak Oil.  His latest books are: The Party's Over: 
 Energy Resources and the Fate of Industrial Societies; and Powerdown: 
 options and actions for a post-carbon world.  Sponsored by Post Carbon 
 Institute, Ecology Center, KPFA, and City Repair Oakland West (CROW).  
 Donation $10-20, no one turned away for lack of funds  The East Bay Post 
 Carbon Solutions Group is a local grassroots organization.  Currently, we 
 meet once a week and welcome new members.  A conference is also planned for
