Awakening Our Leadership Potential and Our Collective Heart
Designing Our Future from the Inside Out
"The crises of our time are evolutionary drivers that spur us to evolve beyond where we are today. Right now our whole social system is withering, leadership is faltering and failing, and problems are escalating exponentially, giving us very little time to change. At the same moment, millions of pioneering souls are seeking a higher order of life, that is, NEW STRUCTURES and
not just new projects. They are searching out or they are creating new systems and innovations in health, education, environment, energy, business. In the great 13.7-billion-year tradition of nature itself, these innovations are creating the conditions for an evolutionary leap. They are creating what the complexity theorists call a 'strange attractor' toward a higher order culture. This attractor - which offers greater consciousness, freedom and compassion - is emerging subtly everywhere, but is not yet coordinated, connected or visible. We have not yet 'connected the dots.'"

What Are the New Memes for a Fertile Future?
Discovering Shared Purpose and Connecting More of the Dots!
On Monday, September 10, join together with other community leaders, artists and innovators to explore the pressing questions and ideas shaping the future of our city and our world. Coming from an evolutionary perspective, we seek to discover more of our collective potential and our shared purpose as a City and Community. It’s clear to everyone that we are living in powerful times, full of uncertainty and vast potential. What is needed to help us navigate through this time? If we are in the ‘Chrysalis Stage’ of a global transformation process, what does it mean for us to fully show up?
JOINING US for the evening are two truly amazing Global Luminaries AND Wise Elders -- Barbara Marx Hubbard, who Deepak Chopra calls ‘the voice for Conscious Evolution,” and John Perkins, the author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and several books on shamanism (full bios below). They will provide inspiration, wisdom and essential knowledge. It is an honor to have them with us.
WE’LL EXPLORE TOGETHER, through a dynamic evening of dialogue, play, reflection and FUN the outlines of a Co-Creative Society:
• Cosmogenesis – What is the new story and metanarrative from the largest perspective possible?
• Crises – Learn how crises precede transformation and discover the social implications for co-creation and collaboration.
• Capabilities – Discover more about our New Capabilities and how we can unleash our greatest Creativity.
• Cultivate Collaboration on a regional level.
• Showcase & Map What’s Working and emerging in our community using the Wheel of Co-Creation.
PLEASE SHARE THIS INVITATION with your friends, colleagues and those curious about what it will take to step into a thriving future.
“We have entered one of the most important periods in human history, the Time of Prophecies. We have the opportunity to lift ourselves to new levels of consciousness. This time was foretold over the past centuries around the world. Now it is up to us — you and me — to make it happen. What a wonderful gift!” John M. Perkins

MORE ABOUT OUR LUMINARIES
Barbara Marx Hubbard
Barbara Marx Hubbard has been called “the voice for Conscious Evolution of our time” by Deepak Chopra and is the subject of Neale Donald Walsch’s new book The Mother of Invention. A prolific author, visionary, social innovator, evolutionary thinker and educator, she is co-founder and chairperson of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. She is the producer and narrator of the award-winning documentary series entitled Humanity Ascending: A New Way through Together and has recently partnered with The Shift Network as a global ambassador for the Conscious Evolution movement; a shift from evolution by chance towards evolution by choice. She is also co-producing and organizing with The Shift Network and others a global multi-media event entitled “Birth 2012: Co-Creating a Planetary Shift in Time” on Dec. 22, 2012 — a historic, turning-point event, awakening the social, spiritual, scientific, and technological potential of humanity.
In 1984 her name was placed in nomination for the Vice Presidency of the United States on the Democratic ticket, calling for a “Peace Room” to scan for, map, connect and communicate what is working in America and the world. Barbara also co-chaired a number of Soviet-American Citizen Summits, introducing a new concept called “SYNCON” to foster synergistic convergence with opposing groups. She developed SYNCON conferences to bring together opposing forces to discover the positive benefit of a long-range earth-space development program where she worked with builders of the Space Shuttle and continued her passion for an expanded and peace-generating space program.
She is a fellow of The Club of Budapest, and has received an honorary Ph.D. in Conscious Evolution from the Giordano Bruno GlobalShift University. She has established a Chair in Conscious Evolution at Wisdom University and is a member of many progressive organizations, including Evolutionary Leaders Group, Global New Thought (AGNT) and The World Future Society.

John Perkins
John Perkins is dedicated to transforming the world into a sustainable, just and peaceful place for all beings. John has lived four lives: as an economic hit man (EHM); as the CEO of a successful alternative energy company, Independent Power Systems, Inc. (IPS); as an expert on indigenous cultures and shamanism who used this expertise to promote ecology and sustainability; and as a writer who, in telling the real-life story about his extraordinary dealings as an EHM, has exposed a world of international intrigue and corruption.
After selling IPS in 1990, John became a champion for indigenous rights and environmental movements, working especially closely with Amazon tribes to help preserve their rain forests. He wrote five books, published in many languages, about indigenous cultures, shamanism, ecology and sustainability; taught at universities and learning centers on four continents; and founded and served on the board of directors of several leading nonprofit organizations.
Through the events oF September 11, 2001, it became clear to John that he had to drop the veil of secrecy around his life as an EHM, and write Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. He believed he had a responsibility to share his insider knowledge about the role the U.S. government, multinational “aid” organizations, and corporations have played in bringing the world to a place where such an event could occur. He wanted to expose the fact that EHM are more ubiquitous today than ever before. In this book, he describes the dangerous path his country is taking as it moves away from the original ideals of the American republic and into a quest for global empire.
Previous books by John Perkins include Hoodwinked, Shapeshifting, The World Is As You Dream It, Psychonavigation, The Stress-Free Habit and Spirit of the Shuar.

This time was foretold over the past centuries around the world. Now it is up to us — you and me — to make it happen. What a wonderful gift!” John M. Perkins
