Monthly Gathering
Mass Extinction: A Crisis in Nature
or in Human Nature?
Tuesday, July 14th – San Francisco, CA: Chera van Burg, Producer of the film CALL OF
LIFE, Executive Director of Species Alliance
and psychologist will discuss the cultural myths and deep-seated
psychological patterns that have allowed the mass extinction crisis to
develop and continue to determine our response to it. We will watch
excerpts from her newly completed film and consider that technological
solutions are insufficient because our thoughts and behaviors are
inextricably linked to the factors driving this crisis. Instead, the
challenge and evolutionary adventure is creating change in our minds
and our hearts. Invite your friends to join us at 6:30 for an

religious leaders across the spectrum. For more information on Michael
