Charles Eisenstein in Pasadena 3/19/15

In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do to make the world a better place?

Renowned author and visionary Charles Eisenstein will give a talk on the critical failings of the mainstream economy and opportunities for change, the topic of his widely acclaimed book, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.

"This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power. By fully embracing and practicing this principle of interconnectedness—called interbeing—we become more effective agents of change and have a stronger positive influence on the world.” - www.charleseisenstein.net

Learn how a shifting paradigm is gaining momentum in communities throughout the world and how you can get involved in local efforts to promote more sustainable, human-scale economics. A community discussion will be held immediately following the talk.

Tickets available on-line https://charleseisensteinpasadena.eventbrite.com/
or at the door.
Variable ticket price, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Bring a book to swap at the free market and a cup for tea.

The Local Economy Incubator of the Arroyo Sustainable Economies Community Organization is excited to host scholar and activist Peter Dreier at the Armory Center for the Arts on Tuesday, February 17th at 7pm. Mr. Dreier will present his recent Pasadena Weekly article and report, A Tale of Two Pasadenas which both document the widening income gap in Pasadena and the Los Angeles region:

“In Pasadena, the income of households near the top ($249,841) is almost 10.8 times greater than the income of those near the bottom ($23,042). Only four of the 37 California cities with more than 140,000 people have a wider rich-poor gap — San Francisco (12.4), Oakland (11.2) Glendale (11), and Los Angeles (10.9). No other cities have a rich-poor gap in double digits.” - Pasadena: A Tale of Two Cities

Learn what this widening gap means for Pasadena residents and how strong community advocacy is needed now to inform the City’s General Plan.

A community discussion will be held immediately following the presentation.
