Charles Eisenstein | Sacred Economics

Thrive Now Webinar series: An interview with Charles Eisenstein, author of "The Ascent of Humanity".

Enroll here now

Ron McCorkle of the Urbiculture Foundation interviews author and speaker Charles Eisenstein and opens the space for our participation and questioning.

Charles Eisenstein is a noted, upcoming thinker who has written a much appreciated and widely referenced criticism in response to the Thrive movie. You can read that essay "Thrive - The story is wrong but the spirit is right".

Charles advocates constructive action towards ecosocial regeneration through establishing regenerative enterprises, complementary currencies, gift circles and more. The key is, according to Charles, to contradict the separation that seems to have been the driving force in creating the current, destructive culture with it's strong addiction to technical fixes that serve only to deepen the alienation of humans for nature and each other. Organic systems such as community based currencies that lose value when they are hoarded are a high priority in his scheme to bring about re-connection on a massive scale.

Gaia University, School of Transition

Alive and Well in Chile 

A few days out from the month long summer series of Gaia University in South America, with a chance to breathe, we reflect on a catalytic learning event that has brought together a learning community. The presence of two international leaders in the world of regenerative design Liora Adler and Andrew Langford has made this project tangible, as we move from dreaming to planning a critical mass now exists.

Orientation

We started the seven day orientation with a bang with 37 participants in attendance from 27 from Chile, and ten from Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, New Zealand, Spain, Canada and the USA. A mulitcultural and multilingual event from the beginning, not without its difficulties. The event was led by Liora and Andrew with teching support from Gaia Uni associates Grifen Hope, Javiera Carrion and Monica Engel.  

The first few days we were privileged to witness the end of year presentations of Fran, Berni, Santiago, Pedro and Felipe from Ecolof, and a final ending presentation from Juan Carlos as he graduated from his two year diploma process. The level of action from these guys is incredible, mobilising their families and communities to engage in transition. Each associate demonstrated a high level of competence in their respective projects, and in particular compelling stories about their own personal transformations. We were also lucky enough to see the final end of year presnetation from Monica Engel, Grifen & Javiera.

Article in Revista Paula

20 km from Cabrero in the BíoBío Region of Chile is the first "transition town" in Latin America and the only one in Chile. It's called Villa El Manzano and is a tiny town that seeks to achieve ecological self reliance. Behind this project there are three brothers from Santiago who dream of changing the world.
