Sacred Economics Author Charles Eisenstein: Full Day Workshop

Author Charles Eisenstein is speaking.  Lets use this as an opportunity to explore how we can co-create our community in Radnor to be more sustainable - and lead the way to a new, more human economic system!

 Consider spending a day with us to bust common economic myths, learning new ideas and starting co-creating a new future!

Myth 1: Scarcity of resources - We must grow our economy to thrive.  The scarcity mentality is a non-sustainable trap

Myth 2: Time is money.  By monetizing our time, we enslave ourselves to economic systems

Myth 3: We need to raise the daily income of people in tribal areas.  They make be receiving their wealth from non-monetary systems

Myth 4: Money is bad, causes anxiety, hardship & polarization.  We realize that money could become the planet's savior

Myth 5:  Triple-bottom line businesses will save our economy.  The reality is, until we change our ideas about money, triple-bottom line businesses can't compete effectively

Myth 6:  There is a conspiracy of illuminati seeking to capture wealth.  Rather, there are systemic factors and idea systems that allow wealth to concentrate in a few

Idea:  We are strip-mining the commons.  Resources, intellectual property, community are being exploited and converted into money

Idea: Like wealth, enlightenment is a goal that has no limits - and, in both cases, the pursuit of it can enslave us

Idea: Industries that have potential for catastrophic loss are being susidized by the public, common resources - and operate with free insurance.

Idea: Lets back our money with those things that we hold sacred - and they we will seek to maximize those things

(Contact me if you want to carpool - Event is at Swarthmore and I'm happy to drive a group down from Radnor Library.  We'd have to leave by 8:15)
