WTR Network Webinar: Systems View of Life
Mar 5 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am PST
What happens when we bring together two great thinkers of Systems Theory and Deep Ecology in emergent conversation?
Fritjof Capra, author of many books including The Systems View of Life and Jeremy Lent, author of The Patterning Instinct: A Cultural History of Humanity’s Search for Meaning and The Web of Meaning will discuss three of the foundations of WTR – patterns, systems and deep ecology – and how we can use these theories to support our practices as activists, facilitators and change-makers. Together we will explore how evolutionary biology, history and spirituality interact and provide answers to the challenges we now face.
We’d like to collect and curate some of the questions ahead of time. If you have questions for the speakers, please use this form to submit them prior to the event.
This event will be recorded. A link to the recording will be available about 48 hours after the live webinar and will be sent by email to all those who are registered.
