An Evening with JOHN SEED
Founder and Director of the Rainforest Information Centre which successfully campaigned to save the sub-tropical rainforests of New South Wales. He is also a prominent figure in the deep ecology movement and co-creator of the Council of All Beings. CLIMATE CHANGE: Despair & Empowerment Monday, May 7th 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Tompkins County Human Services Building 320 W. State Street Beginning with video presentations to quickly recap the issue & explore some of the solutions, the focus will then shift to confronting public and personal denial and despair. We’ll discuss how these feelings can be transformed into the fuel for inspiration and positive change." Since 1979 John Seed has protected rainforests in South America, Asia and the Pacific through providing benign and sustainable development projects with their indigenous inhabitants. It became clear that the planet could not be saved one issue at a time. Unless we could simultaneously address the underlying psychological or spiritual disease that allows modern humans to feel separate from nature, the destruction of species and life-support systems would continue. He is referred to as "the town crier for the global village". He co- authored THINKING LIKE A MOUNTAIN - TOWARDS A COUNCIL OF ALL BEINGS which is both an exposition of this philosophy and description of an experiential workshop that can bring deep ecology to life as a lived experience as well as a way of thinking. Donations beyond expenses go to John Seed and selected local climate change efforts.
