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.
