The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible: An Evening with
Charles Eisenstein

*"When any of us meet someone who rejects dominant norms and values, we
feel a little less crazy for doing the same. Any act of rebellion or
non-participation, even on a very small scale, is therefore a political
act."*
     --Charles Eisenstein, *The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is
Possible*

As our social and ecological crisis deepens, what is our next step as
agents of healing and change?  *Charles
Eisenstein’s*<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PIg4SM%2FWMO1YnQZB1bimEQcF37dE1Kej>*
work is an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, and paralysis
so many of us feel*, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true:
we are all connected, and our personal choices bear unsuspected
transformational power.

Using real-life stories, Charles unites systems-level change with small,
individual acts of courage, kindness, and self-trust. These, he says, can
change our culture’s guiding narrative of separation that has generated the
present planetary crisis.  Charles is the author of several books,
including *Sacred
Economics*<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=EYd0QIFybevt1JmXdV3sGwcF37dE1Kej>and
*Ascent
of Humanity
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=V6Q%2BKb%2BoDgIQT%2B3gMg%2FFqwcF37dE1Kej>*.
 His newest book is *The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible
<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jQW%2FG%2Ft90bj3QDCwrK5jcwcF37dE1Kej>*
.

*We are expecting this to be a fairly full event*, so please RSVP on
Facebook<http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FkHet1dpvVhWoFRjH%2F2dRQcF37dE1Kej>
 or by email<info at jamaicaplainforum.org?subject=RSVP%20for%201%2F26%20Charles%20Eisenstein%20forum>
so
we can accurately guage attendance. Also, please plan to walk, bike, take
public transit, or at least carpool - parking will likely be somewhat
limited.
